A member asked:
After being on a gluten free diet for a while, how long does one have to be on a gluten challenge before being tested again?.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: If you have a proven diagnosis of celiac disease by biopsy, there is no need for re-challenge. You should stay on a gluten free diet. If you do not have biopsy proven celiac disease it can take a few months to a few years before the diagnosis can be made. One should never go on a gluten free diet without a clear diagnosis.
