Need Advice, Adding Gluten Back Into My Diet

Hi all! I have decided, after ALOT of thought, that I am going to add gluten back into my diet, even though I have seen quite a bit of improvement over the 2 weeks I have been gluten free. I have decided to TRY and get a definite diagnosis, for the sake of my children. I have read that problems with candida can cause the exact same symptoms of celiac, so I want to be sure. I am going to mention to the doctor that my c4 complement came back abnormal, which can be caused my malnutrition. I wont get to actually talk to the doctor because of my type of insurance (Stupid), but I will be seen by the PA, who will be "supervised" by the doctor. My question is, since I have been off gluten for 2 weeks, do you think I will have to eat it for too long to get a positive test? Also, will I feel very sick since its only been 2 weeks? Any feedback/advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

Sabrina

Also, on average, how much gluten containing food do I have to eat a day for my test results to be accurate?

You might not need to be on the full three months, but I'd say at least two to be safe. I believe the recommendation is the equivalent of 3 slices of wheat bread each day.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
