Blood Test Can Tell Celiac from Non-Celiac Patients By Cytokine Levels

This article seems to imply that the only cause for gluten problems is Celiac: "The test may also help people who do not have celiac disease, but find symptom relief on a gluten-free diet. For these people, gluten may not be the cause of their symptoms and a gluten-free diet may be totally unnecessary."While this technically is true, it suggests that people without celiac need to figure out what's bothering them since gluten can be ruled out. Seems to me like all the test can really do is rule out celiac. I am one of those whose IGA (IGE... whatever it is) test is inconclusive. I'm interested in this new test, but only so when people ask, I can say yes or no, not "I don't know and don't want to OD on gluten and then have an invasive procedure that costs several thousand dollars and won't be particularly helpful anyhow." Long story short, try not to feed the myth that gluten affects only those with celiac. Thanks!

My daughter has had s terrible time getting diagnosed. Our doctor thinks she is through with tests but the gastro thinks it's just constipation, though our daughter's bowels bleed and are pale also her lymph areas get really sore and much more her bruising is terrible and I'm scared a long time in the future she will have disabled children As she can not accumulate the vitamins and minerals necessary for pregnancy. Please can you tell me what to do so I can get this testing above started here for her ?

Since I get a 3-5 day long migraine when I eat gluten, I think the necessity of eating even one meal with gluten in it is too much. We need a test that doesn't require one to eat any gluten and still has accurate results.

I say with all the GMO foods and overdosing on sugar we all eat that we all should supplement our diets with amino acids, whether or not you have gluten/celiac issues.

Both things can be true. Gluten can affect people without celiac disease (such as DH). However, research shows that there is a class of people who may not have celiac disease, and whose symptoms may not be caused by celiac disease. For those people, knowing the difference could be very helpful.
