The gist I'm getting from my doctor is that, should the test be negative I'll have to get a biopsy done, and if its positive....I'll need a biopsy done. Since I'll have that and other tests to determine the severity of any damage the disease has to my insides.... is there any reason at all for the blood test? I've decided that my symptoms are severe enough...

I'm having a blood test done soon to test for signs of Celiac disease. My doctor has encouraged me to "Challenge" myself by consuming gluten prior to the test in the hopes of decreasing the chance of a false-negative. How much gluten should I introduce into my diet? How far ahead of time should I be on a gluten diet? A week? A day? Should I eat...
