I've Decided What To Do..

Thanks to the poster who suggested this. I think it's what I want to do and I'm willing to

pay out of pocket to have it done. The only question I have is, where do I go to do it?

I'd appreciate suggestions from folks who know or have had this done. Also, does anyone

know if you should just go on eating whatever, until you have the panel.

Thanks, Jerry

I got mine done at my naturopath's office. It's just a blood test that they send to a lab. A few "regular" doctors do the testing too, but probably not in Kaiser. See if Kaiser will refer you to a naturopath (some HMO's will do this) to start. If not, call around and see who in your area does it.

Keep eating "normally" until the test.

I discovered years after doing this testing that it's controversial. It was extremely accurate in my case though, and I think it's a great place to start. Apparently there's some room for false positives, but those are better than false negatives IMHO.

I plan on doing one through Lame Advertisement (remove the spaces and google). I called and talked to both York/Optimum Health and Lame Advertisement and was far more impressed with what A LCAT had to say and their time back and everything. Seemed like a much better test.

I'm ordering it next week. :)

I used Immunolabs. Their website will give you numbers to call to find someone who does it locally. I think its immunolabs.com They were extremely accurate for me.

Thats the one I got in the first place that showed me gluten problems. VERY impressed with them.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
