Here’s the #1 rookie mistake: cutting out gluten before you test. Do not—I repeat, do not—go gluten-free as a test run. It’s like trying to check for a peanut allergy by not eating peanuts for a month and then wondering why the test shows nothing.
Your body needs to be exposed to gluten to show the immune system’s freak-out. So, keep eating that sourdough. Suffer for the sake of science. Think of it as a tasty, temporary sacrifice for clarity.
As my doctor once said, “You can’t test for a fire if you’ve already put out the flames.” So, grab a baguette and accept your temporary fate as a human lab rat.
