I know, this sounds bonkers. If your belly is already staging a rebellion, the last thing you want is a bagel. But here’s the deal: you must keep eating gluten for several weeks before any test. If you stop, the test can give you a false negative—and nobody wants to play that trick on themselves.
So, go ahead: enjoy that pasta, that pretzel, that slice of cake. Think of it as… a “diagnostic farewell tour” for your gluten-loving days. Just maybe keep a bathroom nearby. (You’re welcome for that tip.)
