Hi, Snoshoe,
Celiac disease is very much underdxed in the US, however, celiac d. in the US is not as bad as this article makes it seem. Not everybody who has the genes for celiac disease gets celiac disease. Also, even tho I was the one who posted this site, I did make mention that this doctor's methodology and views are not totally accepted by the medical community. This is because alot of his claims have not been proven by actual research and are just this man's opinions. While I do not totally disagree with most of what he claims, I do think it prudent to consider it all with a jaded eye.
I still think it is better for one to get the complete seriology panel for celiac disease thru Promethius Labs, if you suspect you have celiac disease. But if you just think you have leaky gut or gluten intolerance causingleaky gut, then this testing would work for you. (I sent the info re Promethius Labs in another post.)

Here's some info. I just got. There are tests on the link.
Everyone in America has Gluten Sensitivity until proven
otherwise... From Dr. Fine's www.enterolab.com website:

villous atrophy associated with gluten intolerance") genes

>DQ2 is present in 31% of the general American population. DQ8
(without DQ2) is present in another 12%. Thus, the main celiac
genes are present in 43% of Americans. Include DQ1 (without DQ2
or DQ8), which is present in another 38%, yields the fact that
at least 81% of America is genetically predisposed to gluten
sensitivity. (Of those with at least one DQ1 allele, 46% have
DQ1,7, 42% have DQ1,1, 11% have DQ1,4, and 1% have DQ1,9.) Of
the remaining 19%, most have DQ7,7 (an allele almost identical
in structure to DQ2,2, the most celiac-predisposing of genetic
combinations) which in our laboratory experience is associated
with strikingly high antigliadin antibody titers in many such
people. Thus, it is really only those with DQ4,4 that have never
been shown to have a genetic predisposition to gluten
sensitivity, and this gene combination is very rare in America
(but not necessarily as rare in Sub-Saharan Africa or Asia where
the majority of the inhabitants are not only racially different
from Caucasians, but they rarely eat gluten-containing grains,
and hence, gluten-induced disease is rare). Thus, based on these
data, almost all Americans, especially those descending from
Europe (including Mexico and other Latin states because of the
Spanish influence), the Middle East, the Near East (including
India), and Russia, are genetically predisposed to gluten
sensitivity. (That is why we are here doing what we do!) But be
aware that if a person of any race has a gluten sensitive gene,
and eats gluten, they can become gluten sensitive."
