has anyone been able to get their insurance to cover tests that have been run by prometheus lab? since my son's original test came back IgA deficient, he has to have a different test run, and th ped gi's office tells me that this is the only lab to do it. we have had a lot of trouble with this insurance company. i can just imagine that every time i call them they get a red flag on their computer that says "WARNING: HOSTILE" LOL!!! can you sue a medical ins. company for pain and suffering??!!LOL!!

Our Ped GI fopund a way around it. if they send the blood to Mayo Clinic, Mayo will forward it to Prometheus and Ins. will cover it. We just went through this testing with my son and daughter and we recommend that you go ahead and run all the tests, the 5 panel screen and the CeliaGene test. We're having to go back for more testing - more sticks - and my 3 year old isn't happy.

Chrissy- That's where my blood just went for the gene test via Beth Israel Hospital but I haven't heard anything about insurance not covering it. I have Harvard Pilgrim. What do you have? B

      Legumes can be a source of wheat contamination, but I assume that you use versions labelled "gluten-free."

      You may want to look into Benfotiamine, which is the fat soluble version of B1.

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      Be sure all testing is completed before going gluten-free, that is, unless you are certain that gluten is the culprit and have decided not to eat it again. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      As a side note, it seems that medical science has evolved in the past 5-6 years regarding Celiac Disease, and I am now catching up. It seems that anything that disrupts the microbiome sufficiently enough can--in genetically susceptible individuals--lead to Celiac Disease. I have been reading now that antibiotics, excessive simple carbohydrates such as refined sugars and starches, the manner of birth such as C-section vs vaginal delivery, the diversity of one's diet, the presence of certain bacteria or viruses, can all contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, which can lead to Celiac. This is fascinating research.
