Guest guest Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 I have had an inquiry from someone who does not have health insurance and needs to be tested for CD. Anyone have any suggestions on where or how to find low cost blood tests or biopsy? Pam Newbury -----Original Message-----From: FranceLV@...

For reference for your pediatrician, there is a study published on this test in Gastroenterology 1996 Aug. The study showed that the rectal gluten challenge identified 100% of patients with CD. Another test that may be helpful is from Great Plains Laboratory, is the urinarypeptide for gliadorphin/caseomorphin test. By the way, what kind of surgery did you had? Be well, France Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
