Q & AReturn to ->Ask the Doctor->Tests and Their Results | QUESTION: What do you think of the new Celiac cheek swab test from Kimball Laboratories? Is it accurate? Should we spend the money on it? Thanks! | DR. GUANDALINI: The genetic test offered by Kimball Labs is accurate and reliable, and the quick turn-around time is a big plus. As with the more traditional blood genetic test for celiac, it must be kept in mind that while a negative result rules out celiac disease, a positive one simply means the subject MAY have it, or MAY develop it later in time.
