Does anyone know if the HLA-DQ–gluten tetramer-based Celiac Test is available in the US? I saw the article that it was being tested in Norway.

 

Thank you,

Sarah

It should be available. There are many companies that offer genetic testing that include celiac disease risk tests, including 23 and Me:

I would verify this before ordering it. Your doctor should be able to order this as well.

Enterolab.com does Celiac HLADQ  genetic testing.  It is a cheek swab.

She is not talking about the test to see if you have the genetic basis to get celiac. A "new" test out of Norway can tell with over 90% accuracy if you HAVE celiac, without eating gluten.   I am also looking for the status of this test.

Given the issue with 23 and me and their recent data breach, I would no longer recommend them.

Which new test do you mean? Can you post a link?

      I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my cancer treatment (which was many years ago, but there are long term effects.) I just stopped it because I was unable to get any gluten information about it. And it did contain iodine. Is there even a vitamin that doesn’t? I don’t know, but I will check. I also take Calcium and Magnesium in the form of “Rolaids” for leg cramps/spasms, with good effects. Thanks.

      @Itsabit, Ask your doctor for an erythrocyte transkelatose test to measure thiamine.  It's a better measure of thiamine deficiency than a serum test.

      Most toothpastes are naturally gluten-free, but this article may be helpful:

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Thank you for your response. It has some good information for me to investigate further. In answer to your question about Vit D, yes, and it was normal. I am having the B12 level done today. Additionally, I am going to have a urine to test for iodine, after a correlation with it to dermatitis herpetiformis was mentioned in another post. I had read that in my research as well. I am praying that I don’t have that! The dietary restrictions, esp when combined with eating gluten free are horrendous! Talk about malnutrition! Anyway, one step, one day at a time. I’m trying not to get ahead of myself. Not easy.
