How people usually try it
No wheat, barley or rye at all. Read labels. Then reintroduce it and keep logging, because the return is as informative as the removal.
Typical dose: Two weeks with no gluten
Safety
If you have not been tested for coeliac disease and might want to be, ask your doctor about testing before you remove gluten. Removing it first can make the test unreliable.
