THANKS! Gene testing and Dr. Gray

[Guest guest]

Thanks for all the responses on gene testing, it really helped clear up the

confusion I had!

ORIGINAL QUESTION: if a gene test can determine with 100% accuracy if you have

CD or not,

why is it not the first test run? I am wondering why my main GI didn't order

that test. Is the

gene test something that isn't done often? Is it possible to have a negative

gene test but still

have CD? Has anyone gone to see Dr. Gray with elevated antibodies and CD

symptoms but

come back with a negative gene test?
