The only test I know is a self-administered elimination diet.  Cut out all gluten for 3 to 6 months and then re-introduce it.  Record your symptoms as you go.  If they change you may have your answer.  Some times NCGS is actually FODMAP intolerance per current thinking.  That's another route to explore.

I am wondering why you're asking specifically about NCGI. Have you been tested for celiac disease?

There isn't really a formal diagnosis, because there's not yet a test for it, although that may soon change, there's some Open Original Shared Link It's yet to reach the mainstream medical community however. Of course that won't stop Open Original Shared Link.

Your test at present would be to go through celiac testing process. If that's negative but you react to the gluten free diet then you could be diagnosed as ncgs by exclusion. At that point you may want to try the fodmaps diet as theOpen Original Shared Link that many who reported a reaction to gluten were actually reacting to fodmaps. 

However the ultimate arbiter of your health is you. If you come out of the other side of the diagnostic process without a firm diagnosis you need to decide for yourself on the evidence you have available what you're going to do. For me it was lifetime exclusion of gluten from my diet and with it the resolution or drastic improvement of a series of symptoms from GI to neurological.

Best of luck :)

The reason I am asking is for myself and my Son. who is 10 years old. He is showing the symptoms.

There aren't any.  You can get him tested for Celiac disease, which is a good idea to do before you make him gluten free.

Having negative basic testing... my diagnosis was going gluten-free and finding I felt better 3.5 yrs ago.  No looking back.  We have fine tuned even more now with no dairy, no soy, no chocolate, no coffee, no artificial sweeteners, limited eggs and peppers, no white potatoes, no rancid vegetable oils, very low carb and high fat.  Life is good again!  Those food pyramids by the government are just plain wrong!  The human body does NOT require any carbs for health.  Triggering an insulin response repeatedly leads to insulin resistance, obesity, cancer and a whole host of other diseases!  I was shocked when I found all this out.  How I wish I'd known this when my children were growing up.  We didn't learn any of this in nursing school!

      Help with genetic testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain 02:01. Since your child has two copies of the beta chain (02:01) but only one full *05:01 alpha allele (the other appears truncated as *05), this suggests they are heterozygous for HLA-DQ2.5 rather than homozygous. The term "permissive for celiac disease" means your child has genetic susceptibility but not necessarily the highest-risk genotype (homozygous DQ2.5). Since celiac disease development also depends on environmental triggers and other factors, further testing (such as antibody screening or biopsy) may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. Consulting a genetic counselor or gastroenterologist can help clarify these results and next steps.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      As my doctor said, you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast.  I may have a leftover piece of chicken and left over squash or eggs or I am actually more likely to skip breakfast as I do intermittent fasting.  In that case I eat lunch around 11:30 and have some guacamole and a salad with chicken or tuna.  For dinner I have pork, shrimp, chicken, lamb, or turkey with half a baked sweet potato and some broccoli, green beans, beets, carrots or cauliflower.  I do not eat any grains on the advice of my doctor.  I do not eat commercially processed products, even if they say they are gluten-free.  I make Warrior Bread every few weeks.  It has no yeast and contains almond flour and dried sweet potato.  Very tasty too.  A good book to help in this regard is No Grain, No Pain by Peter Osborne.  Thankfully, I can eat coconut and nuts and use those flours in baking and also use nut milks in cooking.  Since I am allergic to chocolate and vanilla, lemon is my go to flavor for something sweet.  My migraines totally disappeared once I went gluten and casein free.  I can occasionally eat certain high fat cheeses that are low in casein, as well as grass fed butter.  I use lots of Organic Olive and Avocado oil. The problems I thought I had with nightshades went away when I went fully organic.  And, the rest of my issues went away by avoiding the foods I tested positive to as well as avoiding all grains. I will be the first one to say that it is a very expensive way of eating, but thankfully we can afford to eat that way.  The good news is that I take no prescription meds at age 72.  At 54 before diagnosis, I was a mess and on a boatload of pharmaceuticals.

      With that many foods removed from your diet, what do you eat?  I also have histamine issues and migraines so that takes out certain trigger foods and high histamine vegetables.  Have allergies to coconut and issues with nuts so those are out.  I'm beginning to think I may have to remove dairy and some of the grains beyond wheat to get allergies under control.  Just having so many issues figuring out what to make at meal times.  What's a typical breakfast look like for you?  Thanks.

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.
