Enterolab Vs. Kimball Genetics

I need help deciding which company to go through for genetic testing. Her IgG was high, all else was within normal. Her biopsy was inconclusive. Two brothers have celiac disease. She has a 4 year history of migraines with nausea and vomiting. She is gluten-free but has been getting her migraines at least every other week. We need to determine if she has other indicators of celiac disease and would like a genetic test for her and possibly other family members. What lab would work best for us? Any ideas? I can't determine any great differences between the companies that U've been reading about.

I got a genetic blood test through Prometheus. They are a well trusted lab with celiac disease but my insurance did not cover that test. If you do not want to do that I would suggest Enterolab testing.

She has it in her family so chances are against her. She has symptoms of it...are you sure she has been completely gluten free? Soaps,shampoos, cosmetics, etc....? Does she have anything at school that could be affecting her or at any friends houses?

My main symptom was nausea and whenever I am glutened I get nausea for about 2 weeks. Has she been going good on the diet? How long has she been gluten free? If you are still testing she should not be on a gluten free diet because that can make tests come back inaccurate. Was she on the diet when tested before?

Enterolab is probably a good option because they do not make you get back on gluten for testing. Here is their site to get more info Open Original Shared Link

This is a great place for info and the people on here are great...so if you have any questions just ask :D

      Welcome to he forum community, @DjinnDjab! You wrote: "i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships." Are you saying that the need to eat gluten free has resulted in losing all your friends and your entire social life?

      i am a 37 yo male and this describes me perfectly. on a scale of 1-10, i am at 8. 9. 10, 11 for 8-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. this has been going on for about 5 years and i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships so i spend a lot of time with myself. and uhhh what really sucks is uhh, sorry to say, "enjoying myself" is a trigger for this pain. i can be fine all day until i take 5 mins to "myself" and then its all downhill from there. this has robbed me of every.single.thing in my once colorful life.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.
