I did the Enterolab gene test soley out of curiousity. We'd been gluten free for over a year already, and didn't plan to change anything based on what we'd learn. I was just...plain...curious.

I think curiosity is the main reason to do the gene test, because I don't think it tells you much of anything about who may or may not benefit from the diet. What I mean is, I don't think anyone should rule out the possibility a gfd may help them just because they don't carry the main genes. And supposedly there is only one known gene type that doesn't seem to carry any predisposition to gluten sensitivity at all, and that represents just 5% of the population. So... I haven't quite figured out how valuable the gene testing is, other than to satifsy curiosty... but it was interesting to know my family fit into the 'other' group that Dr. H had also identified (HLA DQ1). I don't regret finding that out, and it helped make some sense out of few things.
