You might want to say what country you are in.  That can make a difference on what is available

If you are going  to pay that much, why not just get it done at a reputable lab near you?  I think mine was about that much.

I just looked , briefly, at it and the main company.  If that had been around when I gene tested, I would have done that.  I didn't think my health insurance would pay for my DNA test.... but they actually did by going thru my doctor.

In case you did not know, genetic testing for celiac disease is usually used to help rule out a celiac disease diagnosis.  Some 35% of the population carries the genes that could turn into celiac disease (only a very few actually develop it).    That is a lot of people!  

If you suspect celiac disease, consider a simple antibodies blood test from the University of Chicago’s celiac center:

      Thank you.. Christina My anxiety is through the roof. I think it was from eggs. I really don't know because my eyes feel sore. Like I'm allergic to them. I was defient in B12. My heart is pounding and it won't stop. Not sure what to do. I don't have much support other than this forum. Colleen

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.
