Coleliac Blood testing questions

Posted , 3 users are following.

hi, I'm new here and have a definite gluten intolerance and my Dr wants a blood test. He told me i only needed to be consuming gluten for 24 hours before blood work but I'm getting different opinions. Can anyone here tell me how long? Thank you!

    you can read up on CD on this website and it does state before being tested you have to have gluten in your system for 4-6 weeks before testing. Sorry!
