Prometheus Labs is probably the best lab in the country for testing CD.
They do the genetic blood test for CD. I'd give them a call and ask at
what age it can be done. I would guess it can be done at birth.

You can perform genetic testing on a newborn. It is a simple mouth swab.
We did ours through Entero Labs. Thank you so much for the summary it helps
to know where others stand on this confusing issue.
Since genes don't change with age, there should be no limit on the age
the test is done.
I was told to wait till at least 3 to test and a little older would be a more
reliable test. Something about their bodies not stabilizing till then.
