Welcome to the forum, @nanny marley!

Unfortunately, after bein on a gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet for weeks or months, you can expect test results to be negative.

Thankyou for your reply really appreciate it I thought has much so it's just a waste of my time really isn't it because it's on Tuesday and I've been cutting it out over 6 months now
