Talk with the person who is giving the test.

No, that isn't necessary. If you are allergic to wheat it will show up on the blood test. No exta wheat is needed nor is it a good idea to eat it, and let your IBS ruin your exams.

When I had the test, I was told to eat normally. If you avoid all gluten (wheat and other grains), then the test might not be as accurate because the allergic reaction being looked for will be lessened.

Good luck – gluten allergies suck (mostly at first, but it gets easier to deal with after a while)

Everything I have read says to avoid what makes you sick and to avoid all medications if you can before seeing an allergist.
