I'd like to get tested for HLA-DQ as Stephan talks about

In addition, I'd like to be tested for my Maternal and Paternal Haplogroups as well

All preferably as inexpensively as possible

23andme is no good, they base likelihood based on surveys... I want genetic code not my comparison to SAD unhealthy surveys – Stephen-Aegis Jul 23 2010 at 19:05
Currently, the most cost-effective screening test for celiac disease is the tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA blood test. Get a serum total IgA drawn at the same time to rule out IgA deficiency. Of course, this is not a genetic test. It may help for you to offer a bounty to get the specific answer you're looking for. Good luck! – Ed♦ Jul 24 2010 at 18:21

How about this?

Look at the "Gluten Sensitivity Stool and Gene Panel Complete ($369)" or the "Gene Test for Gluten Sensitivity/Celiac Sprue ($149)".

Not broad DNA but stool test for Egg, Casein, Gluten etc... I requested codes so I can talk to my health insurance about it – Stephen-Aegis Jul 23 2010 at 20:13
but the stool test is so much fun! and so much more conclusive than the blood test anyway... also 23andme goes on sale sometimes – MikeD Jul 23 2010 at 22:49

 23andme is based on haplogroup and ugh surveys, so very anti scientific, might as well just post my heritage and take a poll on what you all think I might have... It'd be just as accurate – Stephen-Aegis Jul 24 2010 at 19:59
