I've read it and I still don't know what sort of test I should get to find out if I'm gluten sensitive without doing a gluten challenge. I found the end particularly confusing. Very poorly written.<br/><br/>

You might want to look at the tests available through Enterolab. They can do a gene test to determine if you have one of the genes known to cause celiac disease, or if you have the genes that are known to cause gluten sensitivity/intolerance. They can also do other tests for immune response to gluten and a test for fat malabsorption. The tests are not diagnostic - but they can provide helpful information if you are not eating gluten. The website has a valuable FAQ that should answer your questions. I decided to test my kids when I found I carry one of the celiac genes. So far they don't have any immune response. Good luck!<br/><br/>

I had the blood test last year but I wasn't eating gluten, it was negative. Now the Gi doc wants to do a biopsy of my small intestine to see, she states that is the only way to tell if I have celiac. I read that I should not go on the diet until after the test, because it could come back negative again. I have been eating small amounts of gluten, with no major outbreaks. but I don't feel as well as when I am gluten free. This article gave no no clue as what to do. So I guess if I want to know for sure, which I do, I will continue to eat gluten until my test. I already have auto immune disease and I'm definitely not a child. Also my mom was gluten sensitive all her life, and my dad probably had it too, he had severe IBS. Odds are I am too.<br/><br/>

As soon as I get tested, going gluten free, even if it tests negative... what a terrible way to do it tho, eat this, it'll make you feel like crap, but we can then diagnosis you!  My dad has "IBS" but if I come back celiac I told him to get tested for it as well.  I also have Grave's disease, an auto immune thyroid condition.  Some of my other autoimmune bloods are coming back high.  I think the biopsy will come back positive for celiac.<br/><br/>

The article does not answer the question:  "Do I have to Re-introduce Gluten in Order to have an Accurate Gluten Sensitivity Test Done?"  My suspicion is that if we are GF for a certain period of time we don't have those antibodies there to TEST...so if we are GF (it obviously makes us feel better) then how do we separate between a sensitivity and celiac without reintroducing?<br/><br/>

Eat gluten for 1 meal a day for 2 weeks (the most the average coeliac can bear - you'll feel miserable), have the gastroscopy (uses an endoscopy) and you'll have a certain result.  I have had Graves disease and suspect genetic coeliac my entire life (constipation and gut pain since I can remember) and now at 43 finally found the symptoms match reaction to gluten.  Only stopped (on my own diagnosis) gluten for 10 days and now my gastro asked me to start again just for 10 days before my gastroscopy. I had wheat laden bread (just a slice) at 11.30 am and by 4 pm I look 6mths pregnant (slim size usually) and gut pain and so tired I'm in bed.  I'm not looking forward to the 10 days of pain but I put up with it previously for my life, so whats another 10 days to know for sure? Ive already stuffed up my insides and have Graves Disease so what's to loose? I want to know 100 percent if I'm giving up gluten for the rest of my life.  Confusing article and not to directive on what to do, but hey! at least it got us all thinking, sharing and leaving a post to help each other.  Good luck fellow bloaters, I'm looking forward to knowing coeliac or not. If I am then I know I can do a gluten free diet for life and you never know, I may for the first time this summer have no pot belly protruding from the top of the bikini - and no grumpiness from the pain.  All good.<br/><br/>

I plan to have the test sometime this Fall. Looking back at some problems my relatives had, I think they had it too, but were told it was something else. I dread having to eat gluten. I have had allergy tests. I have allergies to at least 5 gluten free flours as well. I have allergies to many fruits and vegetables too.  
I listen to my body and I have found out many interesting facts. I have concerns for some of my other relatives too. that is why the test are important to me.<br/><br/>
