Thanks for the reply. What I meant was that information I have seen is that to get an accurate blood test you have to be eating gluten supposedly three to six servings of bread a day to get accurate tests.

I am new to this site tonight and am self diagnosed (I guess). I have been on a low carb diet for years and only had specific bloating trouble for the past two to three years.

I had a complete hysterectomy November, 2005 and right before Christmas began bloating to the point of looking pregnant. They thought I had internal bleeding. However, CT showed no. This continued...
