Enterolab does it: www.enterolab.com

as well as Kimball Genetics: Open Original Shared Link

and I'm sure there's more.

You should also know that genetic testing can't necessarily rule in/out Celiac...some people here have official diagnosis and they don't have the "right" genes. Alternatively, if you do have the "right" genes, it doesn't mean that you have Celiac or that you will develop it...just that you're predisposed.

Have you had any other testing done? i.e. Bloodwork?

leadmeastray raises good points.

Our Pediatric GI's office uses Kimball Genetics - they've done tests on 2 of our kids, DD's cheek swab is in the mail.

The most popular ones seem to be Enterolab, Kimball Genetics, and Prometheus. You may want to check and see which one insurance covers the most of for you. I don't understand why people are "questioning" you about having genetic testing done. It's easy and painless, and knowledge is power! Sure, it will not diagnose you or officially rule in and out celiac, but it will let you know if you have been pre-disposed to it or if you have a chance of passing it onto your children, etc. I just sent mine into Kimball Genetics and can't wait to get the results so I can know for myself. Good luck with yours! :)

Yes, testing is easy and painless, but it teaches you absolutely nothing. You may learn you have a form of a gene that 30% of the (Caucasian) population has. Then what? This gene neither causes, nor prevents Celiac disease, it's just associated with it.

      Is this celiac?

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

      Fiber Supplement

      Another great fiber option is dried apricots. Four of them give you 3g of fiber and I find they don't produce all the gas that some other high fiber options do. They taste good too. Costco sells a large bag of them that are labeled gluten-free so you don't have to worry about cross contamination issues like you might in bulk grocery settings.
