Let's Play Fill The Sample Jars!

[Guest DanceswithWolves]

Ok, so I apparently forgot to go to the lab to get my blood withdrawn last week right after I met with the doctor. It was funny. She comes in the room and says.."ok let's take a look at your results!" I'm thinking...."uhhhh..what results, you didn't take any blood from me yet."

After comparing each other's side of the story. I apologised that I must have had severe brain fog on that first visit and she did tell me to go downstairs to get it done. Instead, I walked to the parking lot and drove home. Whoa! Talk about lack of concentration.

So, I went downstairs and they drew blood and I did the urine sample.

Ok...so now I get this clear bag with a rather large white plastic pan to collect my crap at home. Mind you, there's a big festival going on across the street downtown and I have to walk outside past all these people waiting in line with this clear bag holding all these vials and the pan. I asked her, "Naturally you're trying to embarrass me with this clear bag, huh?" She laughed.

Here's my question, though. Should I eat something with Gluten in it before I drop a #2 and collect it?

Or should I just relax and not ingest anything with gluten. I'm thinking maybe they would want to see it reacting...but I'm getting tested for other things besides celiac disease.

How long have you been attempting to be gluten free? If you were gluten free for even a small amount of time that can interfere with test results for celiac.
