Hi Ursula,
You are correct in knowing that their are other gene markers linked to gluten sensitivity. That is the type of genetic testing that Gluten Free Society Performs.
All the best

My daughter is very gluten intolerant, yet doesn’t have the ‘Celiac Genes’. It has long been known that you can have full blown Celiac without the so-called celiac genes.

In other countries they’ve identified OTHER Celiac genes, in addition to the ones recognized in North America.

I say the only reliable test is an elimination diet.

It helped a great deal. Then I was tested and the test was negative for Celiac, but the doc said I was gluten intolerant.

I read I was supposed to be on gluten to test properly, but decided I was never going to do that to my body again. So I’ve stayed off gluten, learned more about what has gluten in it, and finally removed all flours.

I’ve dropped 20 pounds in 3 months, and my bloating and abdominal pain are gone. I’m not going back for any test.
