A member asked:
What precautions should one take in the days before getting a test for celiac disease/gluten intolerance to avoid a false positive/false negative?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Do not be on a glute: Most important precaution to take is to avoid a gluten free diet. The test can false negative result if you are already on a gluten free diet.
