It is not very comprehensive and often times gives false negative results. […]

Some people don’t have obvious symptoms or classical symptoms.
But the damage is happening on the inside.

I recommend you go to the library to read the book Celiac Disease by Dr Peter Green.

(just anemia?)

Hi Michelle,
genetic testing is a simple cheek swab

Doing a biopsy won’t proved anything? How does one do genetic testing?

So sorry to hear of your troubles. I would visit all of these doctors who agree with you and have them write letters for diet recommendations. Additionally, I would gather all of the data you have already collected (DNA, symptoms, etc), and I would take the father to court. I would also consider bringing in any of the friendly docs as an expert witness.
Wishing you all the best,
Dr. Osborne

So he refuses to follow the gluten-free diet. Both my husband, who has DH, and daughter, who was diagnosed with celiacs, found only after many years of symptoms. My daughters liver and kidneys, as well as, her intestines are damaged from the years of gluten inflammation. We have watched and recorded our 7 year old granddaughters symptoms since her mothers diagnose a few years ago and found them to be very much like what her mother exhibited over the years. Our daughter has primary care, but the father is claiming we are hurting our granddaughter by using a GF diet. The father claims an allergy scratch test he had done recently, conclusively showed she has no allergies to wheat or anything else. And refuses to follow a GF diet, he even got the school to change from serving her the gluten-free meals we send. Their counselor says she will only agree if we can find a conclusive test for gluten diagnose. All the doctors we have talked to say a gastro test isn’t appropriate for her age and size (she is in the low 10% of her age group) and has been since she was born. The doctors (none of them specialists, as the father points out), also agree with us that a preventive diet at this time would eliminate any problems and as she grows she might try to add in gluten if she so chooses to see if she has any ill effects. Any suggestions you can give us would greatly be appreciated.

Hi Janet,
You are correct. There is definitely a difference. Thanks for pointing that out to our readers!
Gluten sensitivity = state of genetics
Celiac = autoimmune disease of the small intestine that occurs in some people with gluten sensitivity

Gluten sensitivity can contribute to hundreds of medical conditions. Celiac is just the most popular one.
Have a great day!

I thought there was a difference-you could be gluten sensitive but not have celiac disease. Am I correct in this assumption?
