Enterolab Vs. Kimball Genetics

I need help deciding which company to go through for genetic testing. Her IgG was high, all else was within normal. Her biopsy was inconclusive. Two brothers have celiac disease. She has a 4 year history of migraines with nausea and vomiting. She is gluten-free but has been getting her migraines at least every other week. We need to determine if she has other indicators of celiac disease and would like a genetic test for her and possibly other family members. What lab would work best for us? Any ideas? I can't determine any great differences between the companies that U've been reading about.

I got a genetic blood test through Prometheus. They are a well trusted lab with celiac disease but my insurance did not cover that test. If you do not want to do that I would suggest Enterolab testing.

She has it in her family so chances are against her. She has symptoms of it...are you sure she has been completely gluten free? Soaps,shampoos, cosmetics, etc....? Does she have anything at school that could be affecting her or at any friends houses?

My main symptom was nausea and whenever I am glutened I get nausea for about 2 weeks. Has she been going good on the diet? How long has she been gluten free? If you are still testing she should not be on a gluten free diet because that can make tests come back inaccurate. Was she on the diet when tested before?

Enterolab is probably a good option because they do not make you get back on gluten for testing. Here is their site to get more info Open Original Shared Link

This is a great place for info and the people on here are great...so if you have any questions just ask :D

      Vitamin D status in the UK is even worse than the US.  vitamin D is essential for fighting bone loss and dental health and resistance to infection.  Mental health and depression can also be affected by vitamin D deficiency.  Perhaps low D is the reason that some suffer from multiple autoimmune diseases.  In studies, low D is a factor in almost all of the autoimmune diseases that it has been studied in. Even while searching for your diagnosis, testing your 25(OH)D status and improving it my help your general wellness. Vitamin D Deficiency Affects 60% in Britain: How to Fix It?

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/
