Not necessarily – this DNA test does not diagnose celiac disease, however it provides important insight into whether an individual is “at-risk” for Celiac Disease based on their genetic makeup.
If you test negative for celiac disease, you will not develop the disease in the future. This assists healthcare professionals in ruling out celiac disease in some cases.
However, if the genetic predisposition for celiac disease is detected in your genetics, this means you are “at-risk” for developing the disease and may develop it at any time. If your results show the presence of celiac disease causing alleles in your DNA, speak with your physician or healthcare provider about the next steps.
