DO I HAVE TO EAT GLUTEN BEFORE TAKING THIS TEST? – No. Because this is a DNA test, the results are not affected by the ingestion of gluten.
IF I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING A GLUTEN FREE DIET, WILL THIS TEST STILL BE ACCURATE? Yes. This is a genetic test, and the results are not dependent on what you have or haven’t been eating.
DO THE CHEEK SWABS EXPIRE? No After swabbing the cheeks with swabs, the DNA is good for months as long as the swabs are put back into the paper sleeves and sealed with tape.

HOW IS THIS TEST DIFFERENT FROM OTHER DNA TESTS? – This test measures for all genes linked to gluten sensitivity (HLA-DQ1/HLA-DQ3) and celiac disease (HLA-DQ2/HLA-DQ8). Other labs only measure for genes linked to celiac disease.
