Did You Insurance Pay For Entero Lab Testing?

Just wondering if this is something that most insurance would reimburse you for. I have Blue Cross. Any experience with them?

I have Blue Cross PPO and they paid 80-90% of my bill... Good luck!

I have BCBS PPO also. Where do you find the information for that? If they would pay 80-90% of mine, I might spring for the test.

Mine didn't. I have HealthPartners (in Minnesota). I spent a good amount of time trying to explain why an allergist would not be able to help me to the lady on the phone (this is after calling several allergists in the area and having none of them have a clue what I was talking about when I said food intolerance) so I gave up. I was just getting casein testing, though, which isn't as expensive as gluten.

If you are concerned about having a gluten intolerance diagnosis on your medical records, though, I wouldn't try to get reimbursed. If I had tested positive for casein, I wouldn't have asked for reimbursement if I was eligible.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Tyoung · Posted

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Confused with test results

      By Captain173 · Posted

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      Anyone Got Sick From Canola Oil?

      By gailc · Posted

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.
