Should I Eat Breat (gluten) Before The Blood Test?

Hi,

I have received a blood test requisition from my Family Dr. to check if I am gluten sensitive. The name of the test is Iga antiendomysial antibodies.

He said that this is very reliable test.

I do not eat bread or grains on every day basis... sometimes I can go without bread for weeks! So my question is should I eat bread before the test?

Thank you!

Yes, you need to eat at least several slices of bread daily, preferably whole wheat, for at least 6 weeks before the test or you might get a false negative. Also you need to get the entire celiac panel, found here: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=59774

Welcome to the board, good luck, and I hope you find your answer soon.

Yes, the U of Chicago Celiac Center reccomends 6 weeks of gluten ingestion for children. I would guess adults would be the same my friend's DD did it for 6 weeks and she was 20 YO.

      Chicken Thighs

      Here is a link to the skin version, and the only ingredients are "chicken": https://www.perduefarms.com/en-US/perdue-bone-in-chicken-thighs-pack/60625.html There should also be ingredients and any allergens listed there on the package.

      Chicken Thighs

      Welcome to the forum, @BeeBarnard! I really can't imagine how either skin or skinless chicken thighs could not be gluten free unless one or the other were treated with some seasoning ingredient that was not gluten free. Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the...

      Chicken Thighs

      HI, My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I would like to make her some chicken soup (she's got he flu). I found all gluten free ingredients but I'm having trouble with the chicken. I purchased Purdue bone-in chicken thighs from BJ's Wholesale Club. Purdue says that they are gluten free but the BJ's website says no. It seems like skin-on chicken...

      Perimenopause/menopause

      Hello there, it's been ages since I signed into this account. Wanted to see if there were other celiac patients that have gone through perimenopause/menopause and chose to take estrogen or wear an estrogen patch? I know all of our bodies are different but curious how it went or is going for you. Thanks so much.

Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the amount of gluten cross contamination found in seasonings is usually inconsequential.
