I was asking for my dd who has been gluten free for 1 week. She had an ELISA (IgG) food sensitivity test done and came back allergic to gluten, wheat, rye, barley, corn, oats, and rice (for grains) and a whole bunch of other stuff. It has been suggested to me on an allergy site, that she be tested for Celiac/gluten sensitivity...of which we know basically nothing about. She cut out all of her known allergens 1 week ago and feels 100 times better all ready. I am also considering being tested myself since I have many food issues. I am still eating gluten.
She has excellent health insurance, which Celiac tests are covered by insurance and what type of dr will do them? She really doesn't want to start eating gluten again (to get accurate results) because for the first time in a very, very long time she feels "great". She has a dr appt with her primary care on the 31st and we didn't know if she should wait that long to ask about being tested.
Thank you all for your help! Cyn
