The following was a response in the last listserve:

    * There is a genetic test (HLA test) that tests one's genetic
predisposition to celiac that involves a simple cheek swab and doesn't
require the consumption of gluten  (more info at http://www.finerhealth.com)

That website indicates both a cheek swab and a stool sample.  Are these
better than, and/or more revealing than the blood test that is now
available?  I believe the blood test is also trying to map out family
members with cd.  Can anyone clarify?  Thanks!  Chris
