Extremely Low Risk of developing Celiac Disease.

I have all the symptoms of, "Celiac," which is why I ordered the test in the first place.

Example: When 'glutened,' I develop blistery/eczema like rashes, doubled over for days, weeks, canker sores, thyroid issues, hair loss, weight loss, panic attacks, etc.

Severe NCGS to say the least. ?

Genetic tests can not diagnose celiac disease because some 35% of the population carries the genes that only a tiny few actually develop.  It is used to help rule out celiac disease.  However, researchers are discovering more genes that can be attributed to celiac disease.  Unfortunately, I am not very good with genetic tests.  Your results state low chance of developing celiac disease.

Your best bet towards getting a firm diagnosis would be to do a gluten challenge (assuming you are already gluten free), but you should be under a doctor’s care as the challenge can be tough.

Your symptoms can be related to celiac disease or many other illnesses.  For example, I thought for sure my niece had celiac disease, but it was firmly ruled out (endoscopy).  However, they found Crohn’s.  ?  What do you mean thyroid issues?  Have you been diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis?  Do you have antibodies for any other autoimmune disorder?  

If the gluten-free diet is working, why not just remain gluten free?  My hubby did that almost 20 years ago.  We know gluten makes him sick.  He just can not fathom doing a challenge.  Besides, we like paying our bills.  ?
