The Future Of Celiac Testing

So, I've been thinking, what is the chance that they will ever come up with a celiac test that doesn't require any gluten exposure at all? Is that absolutely impossible?

 

It seems like the current tests essentially measure how much damage gluten does to you.

 

How would the mechanism of such a test even work, if they were able to come up with one?

This research seems to be at the cutting edge: Open Original Shared Link although it still depends on 3 days of exposure. just wish it was available now!

I was going to mention that, too!

A test like that would be great for my kids. I wonder what year they will come out with it? Any projected dates?

 

Would a test like that definitively DX celiac without a biopsy?

I don't think there will be an advance anytimes soon. I thnk the 3 day exposure testing is about as good as it is going to get. The only way to do it without exposure would be if you can find a different gene that is much more specific to celiac disease than the current ones. Otherwise it is always going require exposure to cause an immune response.

      Intolerante al gluten en el embarazo

      By plumbago · Posted

      Decir la verdad, no, yo no me doy cuenta de unas complicaciones que puedan resultar de una incidente aislado de comer gluten cuando una este embarazada. Pero si, hay complicaciones de comer gluten regularmente en una mujer embarazada que tiene celiac. Bastante. Nuestro consejo sera NO LO HAGA! En mi opinion – y yo no soy una medica – nada le va a pasar despues de una incidente, sobre todo si ella no esta comiendo gluten regularmente.

      By Paulo De Paraguay · Posted

      Hola gente! Soy nuevo por acá, mi señora está embarazada y es intolerante al gluten, ayer comió sin querer unos fideos qué tenían gluten, lleva 3meses de embarazo, les consulto, ¿sabrían en qué puede afectar qué haya comido de manera aislada gluten a su embarazo? Muchas gracias de antemano, estamos super asustados!!

      Prepping for Testing advice?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I also read this which some recommended as well: NASPGHAN recommends eating roughly 2 servings of gluten, equivalent to 2 slices of wheat-based bread, daily for 6-8 weeks prior to testing.

      Prepping for Testing advice?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      My dr. stated to eat gluten for 4 weeks before bloodtest. I feel so much better w/o gluten and was going to wait until after the summer vacation but hesitating since reading the antibodies might go away etc. and if I can get it over with before hand especially before daughters graduation next month and before summer might be nice. Any tips besides eating at least 4 slices of whole wheat to get 10g of gluten in for testing. Im more worried about when it hits to find a bathroom especially b/c it can be after eating a meal or might not hit until after 2 days etc. Should I just go back to eating normal to prepare or does it make sense eat 2 slices whole wheat 2x a day and the rest gluten free to prep for test? I noticed b4 gluten free diet I started 5 weeks ago I would have non gluten-free oatmeal and have to go to bathroom right after eating or 2 hrs later. In afternoon I would eat whole wheat and not need to go immediately to bathroom after eating. What steps did you take for test prep.
