My appointment with the gastro is still way off (to consult my bloated feeling), but I would want to throw this question to our experts, so I am prepared.... If ever the gastroenterologist gives me the "emptying test", does it have to be general anaesthesia or is it sedation? Is anaesthesia (whether general or sedation) a trigger to PN?

Further, as I mentioned in my other posts, my IGg/IGa Gliadin Antibodies and Transglutiminase are all negative. Would it be more productive/beneficial to request the doctor to see if I have villi atrophy, just to have confirmation (and closure) wether celiac/gluten is an issue in my PN. I know that it is common sense to have it confirmed, however, another side of my brain is debating if its worth it or am I opening myself to more risks? Do I make sense?
