[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I don't think celiac can be detected through a skin test. You need the blood test and need to keep eating wheat beforehand so that it's accurate. It's an autoimmune disease not an allergy. Dairy makes constipation worse. So you may want to cut back. Usually celiacs will have explosive diarrhea.[/quote] Celiac can be diagnosed by skin biopsy. Some celiacs get distinctive rashes as opposed to the GI symptoms and a biopsy of that rash is used to diagnose celiac.[/quote] Not every celiac gets the rash. Better to do the blood test so you can test for the gene.[/quote] NP here. The blood test is for gluten antibodies not genes. If the blood test is positive and you have the rash, then they can biopsy the rash to confirm the diagnosis. If you don't have the rash, then you need an endoscopy.[/quote]
