    No you don’t. They can do a blood test for it now.

      Blood test has poor reliability, and you have to eat gluten to get it which makes many people too sick to even get tested

      The gold standard is a biopsy of the duodenum but again you need to be eating like 20g of gluten a day for a few weeks and many people get too sick after even a few milligrams

      Neither diagnoses NCGS, non Celiac gluten sensitivity. The only test is to stop eating gluten.
