Saliva Tests For Antibodies, I Don't Know About These

I know the forum is constantly holding out antibody blood tests as part of the diagnostics.  I heard yesterday of saliva test for antibodies and wonder if these had been considered   My daughters tested negative to the recommended battery of tests even though they  have symptoms.  I am looking for options and non-options.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about the saliva tests, I don't know how widely accepted or dismissed those are.

 

I just wanted to add that it could be NCGI or early celiac disease so if there are no more tests to be run, she might want to try going gluten-free for a few months to see how she feels.... That's what I had to do with my boys.

Thanks.  My young adult children really say they would eat normal anyway.  Not sure how they can say that when they have watched their Mom.  The light is dawning though.  Inadvertently struck them sad last night by mentioning someone planned to study unborn deaths to see if the child had celiac disease.  I had heard about it at the summit yesterday and have a daughter interested in doing research this coming summer.  I guess they hadn't realized until recently that celiac is a serious disease, and not just a desire for manipulating with diets.  I won't fail them now, if I can help it.

Good luck.... It scares me that me kids are getting older and they'll have to be responsible for their own health - I hope they treasure it.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
