Going In For Blood Test

[Kingschild]

My blood test will be in the morning. I'm glad I'm finally getting this done.

You have been eating gluten right? Also, make sure the full panel with the right tests are done.

I just had the blood test. I never heard anything from the doctor. I had to call them. When the nurse returned my call, she said, "There wasn't any sign of the antibody in 2 out of the 3 tests, so it doesn't look like you have the disease." If you keep having problems, we'll have you go in the do the test when they go into your belly (the endoscopy). I was surprised that I tested negative. But I have been on a gluten-free diet for about 5 weeks. They didn't tell me that it would affect the test results. My uncle had celiac spru and I know that I have gluten sensitivity. Since I went gluten-free, I have felt better than I have since I was a teenager. All of my symptoms disappeared. Even my BM have been normal, where before they never really were. The nurse did add,"But the doctor said that if your stomach feels better on the gluten-free diet, then stay on it." I told here that I was going to stay gluten-free.
