Our doctor told us that our son was tested for genetic markers DQ8 and DQ2 and because the test was negative (he did not have these markers) he absolutely can not have celiac disease. Has anybody had this test? How much of a guarantee is this test?

Hello Team Young, I have asked this same question on this board. My son is 16 moths old and suffers from all of the common celiac symptoms. He has responded very well to a gluten free diet.

Wow that is frustrating. Unfortunately I get the feeling from most daycares they only care for the protection of our children because they don
