hi guys

i'm getting a blood test done for celiac disease this friday. i started a gluten free diet 2 days ago and was wondering if this will affect the rest results/make them inaccurate. I have cystic acne as well (IMO which could be linked to eating gluten) and was prescribed minocycline for it. i have yet to begin taking the pills, cause they are anti-inflammatory as well as antibiotics, and i don't want taking the pills to interfere with test results. am i right to worry about these things? should I stay on the gluten free diet before the blood test? I plan to be tested for anemia and vitamin B levels along with the appropriate antibodies.

You do need to be eating a full gluten diet for testing. You should get back on gluten now and then when all testing is finished give the diet a try even if the tests are negative.

Keep eating gluten until the testing is completed.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
