Celiac disease genetic testing has been around for years. I didn’t worry about getting tested, I figured I knew what my results would be. But I finally bit the bullet and did it.

New research into why some children get celiac disease and others don’t sheds new light on celiac, children and when doctors should test for it.
When one person has celiac there is likely another family member with it whether they know it or not. The convincing evidence comes from research and lives in reality. Why your family members should get tested now.

The emotions can run wild as parents — feeling guilty after you’ve found out you handed down not just your beautiful blue eyes but your genetic predisposition to celiac disease.

New research out Wednesday adds another link to type 1 diabetes and celiac disease.
