Hello ! Thank you for your answer. I will do the gluten challenge as you say ! I don't want to take the PPI long term, I know it's really bad. My stomach pain after covid was so intense that I had no choice, or I couldn't even sleep. I hope the endoscopy will help me find what I have to that I can switch to other solutions. It's probably gastritis...

Hey ! I am back on this forum since I need some advice, again ^^ Finally, I haven't been able to order any genetic test since my country (France) has very restrictive policies about genetic testing. But I convinced my gastroenterologist to do it here in a hospital, we're waiting for the results (it's long 😕). He wants me to do an endoscopy an...

Thank you ! I am having trouble getting the 23 and Me genetic kit because I live in France and my country has a very restrictive policy about genetic testing. I have emailed Genovate but I haven't received any reply yet. I have found another company that offers a DNA test for celiac disease. It's EasyDNA, they could send the kit to me from the UK. ...

Thank you so much for your answers Trents and Scott Adams ! It is very helpful to me

And I guess that "Deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP IgA and IgG)" antibody is not the same as "Gliadin antibody" ? Sorry, I am looking at the translations of these antibody names in French so that I know what I have to ask my doctor Best regards, Laure

And the same question about tTG antibodies : is it useful to test also for IGG tTG antibodies, not just IGA tTG ? Thank you

Hello ! Thank you very much for your answers ! Scott Adams, I emailed 23 and me and this is what they say : "The Celiac Disease genetic health risk report (i) is indicated for reporting of the rs2187668 variant in the HLA-DQA1 gene, which tags the HLA-DQ2.5 haplotype; and the rs7454108 variant near the HLA-DQB1 gene, which tags the HLA...

Hello, First, I want to apologize for my English, I am not a native speaker. I would like to know your opinion about DNA testing for genes associated with celiac disease. I believe I have a problem with gluten/wheat but I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or just non celiac wheat/gluten sensitivity and I would like to do a genetic test to know if ...
