I was tested for gluten, the result was negative. I have since heard that it should have been a fasting test it wasn't , also I had tried a gluten free diet and I felt much better.
Before the test I went back on gluten for three . Would that have been enough time. The test did show that I needed to go on a dairy free diet, a further test showed I was intolerant to Lactose. Anyone know if I should try for the gluten test again?
Do you mean you had a celiac test? You do have to eat gluten for a few weeks for it to be accurate I think. Even then it's not foolproof. There is a better test out in Australia now which doesn't require eating gluten. I would just stay gluten free if you feel better that way. I'm hoping to get the better test eventually myself.
