    I was eating the gluten-free oats for about a year before test. Nothing else though. No biopsy.

    I am almost certain I have gluten intolerance. I used to eat oats that had gluten in it and my stomach would bloat. I switched to gluten free oats of the same brand and I don't get nearly the bloating.

    I am 42 years old. A few years ago I began having bloating when eating and constipation. The past few years I have had endoscopies for other stomach issues but I did not have a Celiac test. I do not believe that the physicians that performed the endoscopies looked for any type of Celiac damage in my stomach lining. The blood results appear negative...

    Excellent point about re-introducting for testing purposes. I imagine a regular diet would have enough gluten. Although, I might switch breads to a flour based.

    I just ordered a Celiac panel blood test. There are instructions on the webpage for the test that state the following. Everywhere I have read says that fasting before a Celiac blood test is not necessary. I think the instructions above are general for all blood tests. Someone mentioned in another thread that it is good to eat the "equivalent...

    4 slices? Wow. Right now I eat one slice of flourless bread every day. Not sure I could handle 4. If I eat a giant slice of cake the night before the blood test, could that give me a more accurate diagnosis?

    I asked this question before and was given an answer. However, since then, the lab I was going to use reduced the price and am not sure the panel includes the same tests. Open Original Shared Link Why do I even have to ask these questions? There should be a standard.

    Is it ok to eat a tortilla chip that is made without gluten but may or may have not been made in a gluten free facility? If it was made in a facility that made foods with gluten, could the chips be ok to eat?

    Is this assuming that I have been on a gluten free diet? To clarify, I have never in my life stopped eating gluten products. Doesn't pretty much everything contain gluten? Can I eat a regular diet?
  12. jwblue
    I have never eaten a gluten free diet except for a slice of bread in the morning that has gluten but is supposed to me tolerable for people sensitive to gluten. Are there any foods with gluten I can eat before my blood test in order to increase its accuracy? For how long before the blood test should I eat this gluten diet in order to increase the...

    Thank you. I don't care about gluten sensitivity. Just Celiac.

    According to this celiac website they are. This is as of 2011. It might have changed. Open Original Shared Link However, according to the manufacturer website they might might not be. Open Original Shared Link

    It is my understanding that a Celiac blood test requires some type of subjective analysis. I am wondering if I would receive a more accurate diagnosis if I had a blood test done at a hospital lab versus an independent lab such as LabCorp since the hospital lab technicians might be more proficient. How much subjective analysis is there with a Celiac...

    Most doctors are inherently incompetent.

    I am addicted to these. So much so that I have to weigh out a portion every time I eat them. Otherwise I will eat half the bag in one sitting. Open Original Shared Link

    What the heck is the point of a blood test if the doctor still recommends an endo? Waste of money.
  21. jwblue
    I was going to do this test. How important is AGA? Where can I get a complete test? Can I get an AGA test at another lab? Do they need to be compared to other blood tests?

    Cereal? I know people that have eaten an entire box of Cap'n Crunch in one sitting. Cereal is one of the least filling foods someone can eat.

    Is cheating ever allowed when on a gluten-free diet? I can't imagine eating something with gluten one time a month is would do harm to a person with Celiac.

    Is it possible to take the test result to a second pathologist for a second opinion? If so, how? I wonder if their is a higher chance of accuracy if I have the blood test at a hospital lab as opposed to a Lab Corp or Quest Diagnostics. I am wondering if the technicians and pathologists might be more skilled at a hospital. Common sense tells me...

    It looks like blood tests are more reliable than most people believe.
