I Was Retested For Allergies The Other Day. I Had Been Told I Had Many Food Allergies 25 Yrs Ago. Now The Tests 0 Allergies Now Blood Test.

Several years ago, I was tested for celiac but was not eating any gluten at that time and my test was negative. Now my doctor wants me to redo the test and said I should eat some gluten before testing. Can anyone tell me how much or how long before tests I should start eating gluten??
