If I am on prednisone will that effect the results of the blood test for celiac disease?

There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be...

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?
