A member asked:
I am having a blood test in 10hrs to test for a gluten intolerance and i was wondering if i am still able to eat beforehand?

Yes: Be sure that you have been eating gluten-containing foods in recent weeks, else you may end up with a false-negative test. The body does not produce the antibody to gluten when it is not exposed to it.
