I agree with you and am seeking a second opinion regarding the blood test. That said, what would the blood test tell me if the biopsy was clear?

Just got my biopsy results today - they came back negative! However, after speaking more with the doctor, I’m nervous 3 weeks eating gluten again wasn’t long enough to show up?

Got it - thank you. I will ask for a blood test at my follow up appt to be safe.

I have been gluten free for about 5 years, but I ate plenty of gluten for a solid 3 weeks prior to the endoscopy. My doctor wanted to go straight to the endoscopy instead of doing bloodwork so I didn’t have to keep eating gluten and feeling sick.

I have been off and on anemic for as long as I can remember and sometimes have to supplement with iron. Maybe I will look into the genetic test. I went against my gut in doing a gluten challenge for longer, but I was trying t...

I have been (mostly) gluten free for 5 years now after noticing a variety of symptoms all related to gluten. Occasionally, (maybe once a month), I would eat something with gluten, and my symptoms would all come back (major bloating, constipation, diarrhea, migraines, fatigue, brain fog, etc etc) (I’m also anemic). It would take days to feel like myself a...
