Help with celiac test and blood sugar

[a-aminamorbid]

Hello I need alot of help. I'm getting a test to see if I have celiac. I have IBS I've stopped eating gluten for 8-9 years. But I must eat gluten I'm afraid.



I'm prediabetic and I'm worried about the blood spikes plus the pain if eating gluten.



Any advice would be great. I'm supposed to start eating gluten today. The doctor said I need to eat gluten for a week to show something on the tests. But I'm afraid. Any help would be great. Thank you.

You need to eat gluten for at least 6 weeks @a-aminamorbid Confirmation here:

If your doctor suspects coeliac disease, they will request the appropriate tests to make sure you are properly diagnosed. See all the stages of diagnosis:

If you don’t, the test will be a waste of time as it won’t pick up anything.

Your other alternative is to not have the test and just continue to avoid gluten. I’d discuss your concerns with your GP.
