Re: enterolab testing

[Guest guest]

Very Interesting... I personally want to get DQ1 testing done.

My little guy was only positive on IGG and DQ2, but he has never eaten

a high gluten diet and the first blood draw was supposed to be the

entire panel, ended up being just TTG -- very irked. We put him on

the GF diet after the blood draw. About 2 mo later we go in to see a

Pedi GI who ran the entire panel and gene testing, again I told him he

was GF at the time. Since our little guy was starting to put on

weight and his malabsorbtion test were alarming, I am not putting him

back on gluten for a biopsy at this time.

Anyway, further testing on him at this time is not really an interest,

but myself and dh came up completely negative for CD. My dh is

presumed to have the gene since I do not, we are waiting on that. He

wants further testing to truly find out if he as CD to avoid being ill

later in life.

Enterolab would help him and myself. Of course, if I could get a

doctor to say more testing would provide more useful information then

for sure insurance would cover it. But I think I will give our

insurance a call and see.

Did you have a doctor help you with pre-approval?
