Hello my daughter was rectenly diagnoised (my spelling is bad, sorry) with Celiac at the age of two, now I know it came from her father or me but we do not insurance. Does anyone know of any cheeper accurate tests or a way to find monies for this procedure? Thanks

Heather,
I do not know of any funds available. You could contact your local support group.

Here is a link to some groups in Colorado.

But instead of testing you can just go on a GF diet with your daughter. Do either of you have any symptoms? Have you read the list of symptoms for CD?

the GF diet can certainly be a healthy way to eat.
Wishing you the best

Hi Heather,

You might take a look here for support groups : http://www.celiacforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=578

There are several links to other support group locators - including the CSA link that was provided above.

I'm not sure how cheap you were looking for but EnteroLab Gluten Sensitivity Test is 99.00 plus about 20.00 for shipping. Many have been diagnosd thru this company.

Like Jeanine said...there's always the GF trial...if you see resluts with that..you have a good idea what's going on.

I wish you well!!
