Thanks, that's a relief! A lot of the posts I have been reading on here led me to think after the blood test, you were supposed to go off gluten for a period of time, then reintroduce it for a period before going for the biopsy. Many posters seem to be talking about not eating enough gluten, or the extreme symptoms they experienced when re-introducing gluten...

Hi, newbie here! I was just wondering why you go off gluten b/f the biopsy? To me, this would just be torture to have to start it up again and make yourself sick all over again. It this something that you are required to do?

Do doctors make you go gluten free and then go back on just to torture you? It makes no sense! If the blood test is positive, why don't they do the biopsy right away, before you go gluten-free?
