    Don't do it. I went off gluten for a week after my blood tests, not realizing I needed to be on it for the endoscopy. I'm much more sensitive now even after that short time. Not feeling well at all. So don't do it. Just wait until after the endoscopsy.

    Thanks. I'm not doing 12 weeks -- do you think the same amount applies?

    Preparing for endoscopy.

    I've seen people mention that you should eat a couple of slices of bread a day -- Lisa suggested a grilled cheese which made me smile... The first day I ate a cheeseburger with the bun and my symptoms were back within an hour and I felt bad most of yesterday as well. Last night I had a donut and a croissant. (Because I'm thinking if I have to eat gluten...

    I had a burger last night with the bun, and the muscle weakness came back within an hour and still bothering me today. Just whining. I wish I could get this over with.

    I've been low on D, B12 and Iron for almost 4 years that I know of. I take a prescription B12 nasal spray, and supplements for D and Iron. Tissue Transglutaminase AB, IGA <1 Tissue Transglutaminase AB, IGG <1 Gliadin (Deamidated) AB (IGG) 2 Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for making me smile, Lisa! You are too cute suggesting a grilled cheese. I have 3 pages of test results, I guess I picked wrong -- I wouldn't know which results to give you.

    I may have used the wrong references. I have 3 pages of blood test results (she tested me for lots of things) -- what names should I be looking for?

    Hi! Looks like a lot of blood work coming back today. Dr. said it's a 90% chance I don't have Celiac, but she does recommend having the endoscopy to verify based on my reaction to gluten. I wonder if it's because the Mono I got in April triggered it and it's too new in my body to show up? IGA <11 IGG <14 IGM <12 Each one of these is one...

    Thanks, Lisa. It's funny that after such a short period of time I find the thought of eating gluten scary.

    Thank you for the information. Would it be ok if I only ate gluten in my last meal of the day? That way if I get sick, I'm going to bed anyway. Would that be enough gluten?

    At the Mexican restaurant I always get chicken tacos with a side of rice and sour cream. The muscle weakness has gotten worse consistently, and now familiar foods trigger it along with the fatigue. I think that's why she's testing for Celiac.

    Oh dear. I didn't realize you can't be gluten free for the endoscopy. I thought that test was just to determine damage to the intestine. Doesn't it take 8 to 12 weeks to be rid of gluten? It's only been 6 days for me. How much gluten would I need to consume to keep the test accurate? I really don't look forward to having another episode.

    Hi everyone, I had mono back in April. A couple of months after the mono, I would have days of terrible fatigue and muscle weakness -- mostly in my legs. Once in awhile, the arms. It would usually resolve after sleeping overnight. I couldn't figure out the cause but then it seemed it was tied into eating. But it was confusing because I couldn't figure...
