What Tests Do They Typically Run In Australia For Celiac Disease?

I remember reading many years ago that we in Australia don't test for all the same genes that are tested for in other countries.  Is this still the case?  

And in terms of antibody testing, are there standard tests run or do some Dr's do less comprehensive testing? I'm a little bit worried about requesting a screening if there is a chance they don't include all the possible tests to ensure a correct result.  I have suspected Celiac disease for myself for a good 8 years now and I suppose I'd be really put off if it weren't the cause of my issues.

I'd love some advice.  I am seeing a Haemotologist (not sure if they're the right people to do Celiac screenings) for iron issues and wondered if I should ask him to do the screening for me.

      Ka'Chava - Gluten Free

      For clarification, a product can contain wheat and be gluten-free, as many products in Europe use Codex wheat starch with the gluten removed. In this case Ka’chava contain barley grass, which is gluten-free. Again, Celiac.com does not make any claims about this product, only the company can do that, which they have done repeatedly, as you can see on their s...

      Antibodies

      If you test positive for celiac antibodies does this mean you positively have celiac disease? I have been gluten free for many years so I don't really want to start eating gluten again to get diagnosed thru endoscopy.

      Dealing with gas an stomach pain.

      HI @Kwinkle I am not sure where you are posting from, but here in the UK it is most definitely gluten free. I think you ought to try contacting the manufacturers or distributors locally to see what they say.
