I was just curious if anyone has ever tried the home tests for celiac disease that a few companies sell online... and if so do you know if they are accurate at all.

Hi Matt,I bought these too for 2 of my boys

Both came out neg-but I'm not sure how accurate they are as it was only tested for tTg(not the full panel.)

I was driven to buy these as my G.P in UK will not test them as they have no obvious symptoms(and admitted he didn't know what test to order!-didn't exactly inspire confidence :angry: )

Husband was dx 18 months ago-bloods were negative-but biopsy showed villous atrophy,anyhow I wanted to test the kids-so that they don't run into the same ill health hubbie has.

I actually think hubbie has has coeliac since childhood-but wasn't dx until 40yrs old,unfortunately too late to stop long lasting damage and years of illness.

My other son is under a paediatrician-and he agreed to test him.His bloods came back borderline for tTg.

However as symptoms continue and he came back weak positive on another one of the bloods,he has agreed to refer him to a gastro for a biopsy.

Anyway,I've rambled on,but what I mean to say is a negative tTg does not rule out coeliac,so I suppose it was a waste of money-I just want to know if the kids have got it! :rolleyes:

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      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.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
