Gene Testing

I know you can go thru enterolab to have the gene testing done, but has anyone had the gene testing thru your dr? I just found out our insurance WILL cover it, as long as it's thru our lab. I will talk to our dr, I just wanted to see if anyone else did this.

Our Dr. sent the tests out to Prometheus Labs.

Some of the results were questionable. Prometheus Labs comments to the questioning, "every lab test has at least a 30 % error rate (we were told the test was supposed to be 98% accurate), "genes mutate", and "must have fallen into the 2% range not detected".

The question? How can I not genetically match my biological daughter?

Further research has formed these hypothesis...

Not every Celiac gene is known/recognized. Columbia was doing a study of the somewhat common non Celiac gene parent to genetic Celiac child.

Fetalmaternalmicrochimarism (spelling could be wrong)

or I might be a chimera.

(All quite lovely reasons ~ I hate doctors! and genetic testing may not be the means to the answers you are seeking.)

Yes. Dr. Green used Kimball Labs in Colorado. I was very impressed.

See if your doctor is willing to use Kimball. He can order a test kit directly from them and it will be there in 1-2 days, with everything ready to ship it back. You get results within days. Or, you can actually order it yourself to have it shipped to you or your doctor. But of course it's probably better to check with your doctor and see if he's willing to use them, in order to comply with insurance stuff.

Hope it works out for you.

Me and my two daughters did ours through our doctor for the same reason, insurance paid. We went to local Quest lab and they sent it to a Quest in Virginia. It took and 1-2 weeks for the results.

      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.
