Test upcoming

Hi everyone, I am being tested on 02/06 and read that I shouldn't exclude gluten from my diet so as to avoid an inaccurate result. All well and good.

But, I don't particularly want to spend the next 2-3 weeks on the loo or cramping. Can I limit the bad foods for a period and then the week before add them in again, or does the test need a longer sample time, like a diabetes blood test that represents a 3 month period?

Ingredient problem

I'm posting here because I'm in the UK and i don't want a bunch of suggestions that I can't use because I can't get them!

Okay, I am craving a gooey mac and cheese. The problem is I am recently diagnosed gluten intolerant. (I cut out carbs for 8 months for diabetes reasons and when i started to reintroduce them pasta and bread are not my friend. Wtf body!) Anyway, I have tried various substitutes. Leek sheets for lasagne, tasty. Courgette for spaghetti, tolerable-ish. But I cannot find anything that gives the same mouth feel as pasta for mac and cheese. I tried gluten free pasta and the konjac stuff its just not the same.

So anything else I can try?
