    Can I ask why he needs to become gluten free? Depending on the reason you may have you worry about cross contamination which is a real pain. It means separate toasters, utensils and pans for cooking everything. And eating out is an extreme pain because of it. This is the case for most people with celiac disease and some with IBS.

    Still waiting to see doctor but he has developed dry eye, and fatigue. Then after eating he was getting a blotchy face. After some food trial, it appears gluten/wheat is his issue. He has been off it a week and he feels much better. Going to continue eating this way until his appointment.

    He should not give up gluten until after his test or his results won't be accurate. And if he did have Celiac's, the longer he is GF, the harder it would be to go back on for the test. As the body heals, the reaction tends to become more severe. I can't imagine eating a single bite of bread at this point.
