I agree with you, but only to a point.

Some people do not have health insurance, and getting tested is a big financial challenge for them. It might be better that they cut gluten until they can get tested, then discuss with their doctor that they are on a gluten free diet, how that will effect the test, and whether they should start eating gluten before the test etc.

Celiac Disease is a very complex disease to understand.
Unless you are very knowledgeable and can communicate accurately
about the disease, I suggest you not make such recommendations.
Anyone who thinks they have the disease, should see a qualified gastroenterologist and get the appropriate testing BEFORE going on a gluten-free diet.
