Hi, I was diagnosed by bloodwork with celiacs the middle of June. My doctor told me to start a gluten free diet and booked me for an endoscopy. I have still not had my endoscopy, met with the surgeon the end of August, and he said it would be about 3 months before I would have my endoscopy. I know I need to eat gluten before my endoscopy.
