Have I been eating enough gluten for blood tests?

That sounds awful and I don't blame you for viewing it the way you do. I worry myself about what issues I'd carry with me the rest of my life even if I were to get a diagnosis and go gluten-free. But bottom line, sounds like it cleared up pretty significantly for you once you gave up gluten, that's great! All I can really ask for at this point is a...

That's very true, I can only imagine how tough this is on other people in less opportune situations. Especially amid the pandemic, jeez! All things considered, I've had some good fortune in my situation. Part of my problem has been that I've been on more insurance plans than I can count over the last decade, and had to switch around doctors all the time....

Doesn't sound implausible or arrogant at all. I'm almost 10 years in to an endless series of doctors (of varying specialties and levels of competence) leading me around in circles, unwilling to admit they don't know everything...and somehow letting me know there's no way to know what's wrong me, at the same time. Sadly it took me almost all this time to learn...

Thanks, that's actually good to hear. It sounds counter-intuitive but sometimes it can feel more and more like you're doing something wrong the more you go to doctors asking for help but don't get anywhere. I think the internal logic I was using was that, since it takes so many months on average for one to find relief of symptoms once going gluten-free...

Yeah I'm just really thinking hard about the time frame now, hoping I can speed that process along somehow. I'd hate to screw the pooch. Very much wished I'd researched this part better a couple months back, I would have been good to go! 😛

Thank you @Scott Adams! I've found the forum here pretty handy but was a little stumped on this, but your answer makes perfect sense. Given the risk of the test not being fully accurate, it would make sense for me to wait a bit if I can. I'd be worried about complications requesting to get re-tested down the line if I needed that. I had a plan to...

Hi! I was hoping someone could help me with a question about my upcoming blood tests my doctor ordered. I got my endoscopy results a couple months ago - they weren't conclusive - but I've had Celiac on the brain and my doctor agreed I'm a candidate and we should try to rule it out. He then went out of town of course and it took a while to get around...
