<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi This is what I found out. I was advised to use the blood test as a screening only. That the tests are not always read accurately. That the biopsy is the true test and that this also takes skill to read and that a number of samples should be taken. There are only a few labs in the US that are capable of reading the test I have a list of labs in the US that do accurate tests if anyone wants it I also have an explaination of the test by a specialist There is a much more accurate test do by stool sample Lab: Enterolab by Dr. Kenneth Fines at www.finerhealth.com They use the blood test in Winnepeg, Manitoba. I still don't know about Ontario? I will be going to the doctor soon and ask.

I want to know for my children. Is it accurate, I want to know before I ask for it. My one son is always complaining his stomach is bothering him. The other has attention defict disorder. Which I read recently could be celiac related. Thanks in advance. Sharon
