Recessive gene for celiac?  Never heard of the genes for celiac being
classified as dominant or recessive like eye or hair color.  I thought
you either have the gene or you don't & if you do, you could develop
celiac disease at any time in your life. Hmmm... Perhaps that was this
doctor's personal interpretation of the test results OR his way of
saying that your parents don't have CD?  Who knows?  If I were you, I
think I'd be inclined to ask your parents to request copies of the lab
results & get someone else who is more knowleagable to evaluate them for
you.  Celiac disease can be diagnosed with blood tests now days.  The
anti-endomysial antibody is 99% predictive.  And  EnteroLab's stool
tests are supposed to be even more accurate & sensitive. [

of the past for diagnosing celiac disease. ~Valerie in Tacoma, WA
