There are some other things that can cause elevated blood antibody numbers on the celiac tests. Some other diseases, some medications (olmesartan, NSAIDs) and even some other intolerances to non-gluten foods, especially dairy. But the odds are, the elevated numbers are caused by celiac disease.

I just don't want to eat too much gluten and get sick for 6 weeks before the test. I would rather eat just enough for the test and not over gluten. I guess 2 slices of whole wheat which I was having and my regular oatmeal may work which was my previous routine and pasta but that's about of gluten daily lol I will have to see not sure about buying our gluten. Is it true after eating gluten it can stay in your body for a long time? If I eliminated gluten for 3 weeks does it mean it's really still in me and I can still have issues? Thanks

Thanks for the info guys. I’ll follow up with my GP next week. So as it stands it’s looking like Celiac is likely? It’s come as a bit of a shock really, I know my symptoms have persisted a bit more over the past month or so compared to previous flares. I did have a bout of norovirus about 8 weeks ago and stomach never quite returned to it’s best since.

The 10g of gluten daily doesn't have to come only from bread. It can include pasta, cake, wheat-based cereal, etc. I wouldn't obsess over it. The main point is, don't skimp on gluten. Eat normal amounts of wheat products just like someone would who isn't dealing with a gluten disorder. If you really want to make sure you are getting 10g of gluten daily, go to a health food store and buy a bag of pure gluten. Weigh 10g out on a food scale and mix it in with your beverages. My wife use to buy gluten powder at the health food store and add it to the dough when she was making bread - in the days before I was diagnosed with celiac disease, that is.

Thanks for the insights. So 4 weeks I should eat 4 slices of whole wheat bread while maintaining gluten free diet otherwise then schedule blood tests? Would eating the gluten damage my body intestine already if its bad? What do I need to look for in a whole wheat bread to find out if its 10g of gluten. I don't want to take too much. I want to be able to tolerate it as well otherwise this test will be hard.
