Has anyone done a doctor ordered gluten challenge?

@dntsas01 Hi there. It can be so frustrating trying to figure out health issues, can't it? My response won't be helpful to you, but I wanted you to know that someone is here reading your question. I am sure that at some point, someone with experience in what you are dealing with will jump in this conversation. I was set up for the gluten test but the dr forgot to tell me that I needed to eat gluten prior to the test; so it wasn't accurate.(I had been gluten free for almost 10 yrs.) It did show low spectrum celiacs. It probably would have showed higher results had I actually eaten gluten. I went gluten free many years ago because I noticed that every time I ate it, I struggled to breathe. My lungs would fill up with phlegm and cause me to choke within an hour of eating anything with gluten in it. I wish you luck on your testing and I hope you can get to feeling better soon.

@windwalker I had no idea that congestion like that could be due to gluten. I have recently developed either lactose intolerance or IBD, and now I wonder if I have gluten intolerance because I have had a lot of phlegm constantly. I was just commenting to my husband about that today. What other effects do you have from gluten intolerance?
