Which Test At Enterolabs?

[Nancym]

I've had a sneaking suspicion for some time now that I might be a celiac and someone pointed me to Enterolabs web site so I think I'll go ahead and get the testing done myself.

I've been living a low gluten lifestyle for quite awhile, but not completely free of it, so I might not have enough antibodies in my blood so I fiured the stool test would be necessary.

Which of these tests should I get? Is it necessary to spring for the Genetic test? That seems like it would be redundant information if the tissue transglutaminase stool test is positive.

Is having the tissue transglutaminase stool test alone enough?

Any particular reason to know I'm malabsorbing? Other than perhaps it'd tell me how advanced things are?

I've had some of those blistery breakouts on my hands, but that was years ago. I thought it was ezcema, which my sister and father also had. I also have a lot of gas, bloating, weird bowel movements, diahrrea. But my worst thing is lots of muscle and arthritis types of things, which have been happening since I was quite young, too young for osteoarthritis!

Thanks for any advice!

Oops, another question came to mind. Is there any advantage is getting an official diagnosis from your doctor, including the bowel biopsy for insurance reasons? Would insurance be more likely to cover meds that must be gluten free?
