Biocard

[Sue Evans]

I am looking into the possibility that I might be celiac. I have been reading about the Biocard home test but everything seems to be pretty old. Is this test still available? If so where can it be bought? I know that testing through a doctor is more reliable but I think my doctor would be more agreeable if I came to him armed with a home test first.

I agree with your assessment that a positive home screening test in hand when going to the doctor for an official lab screen might make him/her more agreeable to ordering the lab work. But is there any reason to suspect the doctor would not be open to it without that? Why do you suspect you might have celiac disease? What symptoms do you have?

Thank you for your response. I just know my doctor and how he reacts. I have several symptoms and have for years. In the last 2 months I have also developed a hairline rash that some celiacs describe as co current.
