-A *good* bagel

That is good news but still means that 1 in 4 get a false negative after two weeks of gluten. If I am doing to eat lots of gluten for a challenge I want a better success rate than that. I would rather be uncomfortable for longer and know the test is correct then just do 2 weeks and then always wonder if the negative was a false negative and I was the 1 in 4.

Usually they say you need a minimum of two gluten servings a day for 6-8 weeks for the endoscopy to be accurate. Even that has been challenged as insufficient.
Also Celiac isn't just about gluten in wheat - you also react to barley, rye etc... so if you haven't been avoiding those all along then you should be fine. If you have truly been gluten free (and not wheat free) then this endoscopy won't tell you much.
Did you test positive on the blood work for Celiac while still eating gluten?
