Hello everyone, I first posted on this forum awhile ago when I first learned I might have celiac disease. Now the time has finally come for me to get a biopsy to confirm this diagnosis. I have been gluten-free for a couple months at the suggestion of my doctor, but in preparation for the biopsy I need to reintroduce gluten and eat it for 6-8 weeks...

Hi! Thanks for the reply. My doctor informing me that I might have celiac's was quite surprising for me, considering that no one in my family has the disease (that I know of) and I didn't know much about it until a few days ago. And you're right, I'm in Canada. Wait-times for medical procedures here are quite long right now, which is why I'm unsure...

Hi! Thanks for your responses. With COVID, all non-critical surgeries and some other procedures have been postponed here. With that, my best guess is that the wait-time could be months. I'll try to phone my doctor back to see if they have a better estimate. Also, I wasn't aware that your symptoms might get worse after being off gluten for awhile...

Also, I forgot to add but this is the range given. Result Range indication for tTG-IgA and IgG and DGP (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) IgA and IgG Negative: <20 Weak Positive: 20-30 Moderate to Strong Positive: >30

Hey everyone! I'm a 20 year old student and today my doctor told me that me that I (likely) have celiac disease. To confirm the diagnosis, she's ordering an endoscopy, but I'm not sure how long this will take due to wait-times. She told me to cut gluten out of my diet, but I've also read that you should still eat gluten leading up to the endoscopy. Basically...
