A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.? -

You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance... -

@Joel K If the OP is ever in the hospital, and her celiac disease tests did come back positive and she does have celiac disease, she can just tell the doctors that she needs a gluten-free diet because she has celiac disease. They will listen to her, in all probability. And honestly, celiac disease is not taken very seriously inside hospitals, to say nothing... -

It is illogical not to disclose a positive celiac disease finding to your doctor, particularly if you're 60 years old. Human beings generally begin failing in one form or another from 60 onward and you might find yourself as an in-patient in a hospital or at an emergency room. Drugs often have minute amounts of gluten and hospital and nursing home food certainly...

The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away. -
Im beyond frustrated on so many levels. I have always checked labels , have to read everything. Allergic to everything foods and medications. My skin has sores, my body aches my eye is effected, im actively dealing with all these lovely issues, sibo positive, ibs, high blood pressure now dealing with depression because my new doctors after 25 years of many test dancing around my disregarded celiac disease that I was half ass told im 1994 by endoscopy and colonoscopy stating to stay away from wheat and Ill be fine Im not.I had to reprove my disease with another endoscopy and colonoscopy. Had blood work with new gi and of course blood work shows fabulous, nothing wrong. Im not eating the foods im not supposed too.Im stressed and fired of fighting of my disregarded celiac.

They will listen to her, in all probability. And honestly, celiac disease is not taken very seriously inside hospitals, to say nothing of emergency departments, where in any case, the pt may not be able to verbalize anything, and the staff have to act right then.

Human beings generally begin failing in one form or another from 60 onward and you might find yourself as an in-patient in a hospital or at an emergency room. Drugs often have minute amounts of gluten and hospital and nursing home food certainly contains gluten. Here's another scenario: Your doctor sends you for annual labs and your WBC count and others come back out of range. I frankly think one should leave politics out of the equation when it comes to your health. (Insurance isn't about your health, by the way) Or go ahead and don't let your doctor know. Only one person will have to deal with the results of that decision.
