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?

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.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
