Celiac disease is genetic - you have to have the right genes - but genetic disorders often require an environmental trigger, and celiac disease is no exception. It seems pretty clear that you don't know right now if he has celiac disase, but the genetic tests tell you he has the potential to have it (now, or in the future).

As for further testing, he MUST be eating PLENTY of gluten (a couple slices of bread a day, or the equivalent) in order for the tests to have a chance to be "honest".

Hi

I am in the same boat with the genetic testing.... UGH. Blood work is negative also and she is now 3 yrs old. She did have a biopcie at 2 and it showed early warning signs of Celiac's Disease. So we still do not know. But she had allergy test of top 100 and she has no allergies... I hate this. Today she keeps telling me her tummy hurts and has went potty several times....

I will follow this post so we shall see what others have to say and I am going to post one myself...
