Order online and 2.  Test your Saliva.  This home test uses your saliva to accurately tell you if you have Celiac Disease or if you have the genetics to possibly in the future get Celiac Disease (if it is in your genes and has not been triggered).

To find out more you can check out their site at MyCeliacID.com – the test runs you $329 and you can purchase online.  It’s great if you do not have insurance and/or you do not want to pay a hefty fee for your doctor to suggest and start testing for Celiac Disease.  Also unlike other Celiac tests – this test will show up positive for Celiac even if you have been on the gluten free diet for some time (other tests will show negative for anyone following a gluten free diet).  I think this is a great discovery for people who may have Celiac Disease!

**Remember that just because you test positive for having the Celiac genetics – does not 100% guarantee that you actually suffer from Celiac Disease.
