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.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
