Has anyone used it or does anyone have any first hand info? The article listed a lab that did the test: Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratory in Asheville, NC....The lab also does the anti-gliadin antibodies test from Saliva....If these tests work, seems there should be some way to set up a process where large extended families could be screened. >> List members, I just wanted to let you know that this is how they found my Celiac disease. I have been discouraged by 3 doctors not to have the biopsy due to my chronic food allergies which also causes inflamation and intestional damage. So therefore I have been off of gluten for 2 years now with plenty of "accidents" to prove that is indeed one of my illnesses. My 2 children were also tested and came up free of the disease. They are simply allergic to milk (chronic diareah) and foods. This lab and test was accurate for us.
