Getting Tested

Well..to make what could be a horribly long story very short, I want to get tested to see if I have Celiac disease. I have already been diagnosed with IBD (the we have no idea what disease you have disease) but nothing helps. I have all but one of the symptoms listed on here for Celiac disease. But because of all of my diagnoses I've had...I'd like to know for sure or not.

So...where can I get the blood work done? Do I have to see a gastroenterologist? Can I go to a lab? Can I go to a doc-in-the-box since all they have to do is draw blood? What about the health center. I just really do not have the money for this, so I'm looking for the least expensive, but also realiable way to get the testing done. (And I really don't want to do the biopsies. I've had to do that for the IBS, diverticulitis, and hmm..maybe you have Crohn's diagnoses, and that's always hurt horribly for me).

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!!!

      @Healthierbody2026, as I said above, there is not a separate forum within this community for NCGS people and I do not know of one anywhere else. You sound uncertain whether your physician ordered blood tests for celiac disease or for diabetes. Do you have access online to your medical records and test results?

      @trents first response: can you direct me to that particular section of this site for NCGS or and are there any groups I can join for people with NCGS? second response: I can’t really remember due to it was some or a few years back but I believe she did blood tests or work on me or I think she did a glucose test on me.

      There is not a distinct section in this particular online resource and community devoted to those with NCGS. And I cannot say with any certainty whether or not such a thing exists elsewhere online. But your question makes me think celiac.com might entertain the idea of starting a forum within our community for that purpose. I should explain that celiac.com...

And I cannot say with any certainty whether or not such a thing exists elsewhere online. But your question makes me think celiac.com might entertain the idea of starting a forum within our community for that purpose. I should explain that celiac.com is divided into a number of separate forums, each devoted to a different topic or concern within the gluten intolerant/gluten sensitive population. Having said that, the main is on those with celiac disease (or their support systems) rather than those with NCGS because it has more serious long-term health implications. I see. Can you elaborate on how you were tested to arrive at this diagnosis?
