Do you think I should disclose my gene test results to my siblings and urge them to get tested? I have been found in second highest risk category. My symptoms can fill an A4 size sheet but they don't have such chronic symptoms apart from one or two quite visible chronic skin issues which runs in the family tree.

Yeah it is a tough call. I'll try not to swear at my doctors' incompetence. I believe I'm a poster boy for celiac looking at my symptoms and genetic test results placing me in second highest risk category. I just did not even know or even suspected celiac (in fact I did not even know what celiac disease was) three months ago.

OP may have already started gluten free like me. Or the OP may only want to check his/her predisposition to celiac (to rule it out). If you don't have the gene, you can't be a celiac. It safely rules it out.

I got it done through "genetrack" ( a Canadian company ). I live in the UK. It cost me 250 GBP. They send three swabs for saliva test. You run your inside cheek (one each side), then place it in the envelope provided, let it dry for 1 hour, then seal it and post it back either by recorded post or normal or courier. I sent it back recorded from UK to Canada...

My symptoms came on early on when I was 10-12 years old. Since then new ones developed as I moved to new places. Some became milder and new ones became stronger. There was no pattern to it. Growing up I used to fall ill and looked quite frail. Unfortunately, back then, no one knew anything about celiac.

Anyone knows when this would be available? Unlike traditional ttG-IGA, it requires you to be on a gluten rich food just for 4 days for testing. Open Original Shared Link

Wow! you were lucky. I suffered for years and years. Useless doctors. Those symptoms also bring up anxiety, depression and self loathing feelings. It is dreadful. I have the appointment next week!! I may decide to not go though with the diagnosis. The treatment is the same after all.

Hi, A new member here. For years I've suffered multiple symptoms but I've been failed by doctors including gastroenterologists who convinced me that it was all in my head. I continued to try detox, herbal remedies, cleansing etc. hoping to get relief in vain. Three months ago, absolutely fed up, I got food intolerance test (iGg) done which...
