Gluten blood test

4 Replies

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.

Look at the Cyrex Array testing which can be done by Regenerus Labs in the UK.  You can still be gluten intolerant without being a coeliac ....

Scroll down for coeliac testing :-)

Does this test require eating gluten for it to be accurate Marz?

Under FAQ's it does mention being on an inclusive diet ....  maybe there are other tests.  Didn't have time to read them all.
