Testing for IBD/Celiac while on SCD

[Guest guest]

My new gastroenterologist had me do blood tests for the first time to

differentiate between UC and Crohns and also to check for Celiac.

Well, everything was negative! I think I've had UC for 27 years and

my colonoscopies always show various amounts of ulceration, so the

test results were surprising. This group was recently discussing the

need to eat gluten before a celiac test. Does anyone know if being on

SCD for more than a year would also make IBD antibody tests

inaccurate? I wish I had done these tests before starting SCD for

comparison.
