Oh, a question about the revised guidelines - if she goes gluten free now, would that affect the genetic testing she hasn't had? I wouldn't think so if it's a test for specific genes, but want to make sure in case her doctor wants to order it in the future. Thanks!

Thank you pricklypear - that must be the Prometheus Serology, which my insurance doesn't cover That's what my rheumatologist tried to order for me but all of my lab work has to go through a particular lab in order to be covered... how silly, since I'm sure the blood test would be cheaper than the biopsy!

Hi all - I'm new to the forum. We just received my 5 year old daughter's lab work yesterday and she tested positive for the transglutaminase antibodies, IGA - it was very high (54 with a negative value being less than 8). The gliadin AB was also positive. Given that she's also symptomatic, this seems to me to be enough confirmation that she has celiac disease...
