Going To A Celiac Spealist Tomorrow Should I Eat Glutten?

I've been off gluten for almost 24 hrs and I'm feeling way better but I'm going to a dr. tomorrow to find out if I have it and will probably be getting blood work done in the afternoon and then setup for an scope later. My question is should I eat something with gluten tonight in it? Like pizza for dinner or whatever? I don't want to mess up the blood test but I also don't want to be sick. It's only been about 24 hr/s since no gluten. Anyone know the time ranges of how long off gluten to have a valid test or not? Normally I eat all kinds of bread previously.

Thanks

-Den

Yes, keep eating gluten until all your testing is done. 24 hours probably wouldn't make much a of a difference but I would start eating up all the gluten you can find. ;-)

I have a funny feeling I'm going to get sick from this... My symptoms seem to be related with sweaty palms, brain fog lightheaded and nervousness. It does get pretty bad sometimes and I have to lay down for about an hr or so for it to go away. I also been noticing my stomach seems to growl like all day long even on a full meal. Since I've been off gluten, it hasn't growled...? I'm a little scared to eat gluten in way, but I can try to deal with it until they find out or not. I'm assuming all the doctors can do for me tomorrow on a first initial visit would be blood work correct?

They will probably do bloodwork then they will schedule you for an endoscope if you want that done.

How long does the blood work take to find out if it's positive? I would be nice to know right away.. :/

It can take up to two weeks to come back. Do keep eating gluten until after all celiac related testing is finished including the endoscopy if you are having one.

For your growling tummy you might want to try some digestive enzymes. They help me with gas, and I sometimes take them after I eat if I'm getting gassy. I use the Source Naturals, and just got a new bottle in a vegetarian capsule (I'm not vegetarian, but I'm trying to avoid gelatin caps). It says they contain no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, corn, soy or wheat. Contains no sugar, starch, salt, preservatives or artificial color, flavor or fragrance.

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
