Test for "potential" celiac with urine sample?

Post by Zizzle »

New study out this week showing that people with "potential" celiac disease have the same metabolic abnormalities as those with small intestine damage, indicating the need to start a GF diet before the damage is evident. I bet most of us fall in this "potential" celiac pool. It's interesting that they point to causative link in gut bacteria, and that urine metabolites are some of the markers. Perhaps a simple urine test may help diagnose celiac disease someday?
