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

We are thinking about ordering one from celiac disease DNA for com for $250

We're in the US.

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.

Good idea to see if we could go thru doc and insurance

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:

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
