MyCeliacID is a genetic test for celiac disease that can tell you whether you have the genes that predispose you to celiac disease. MyCeliacID cannot diagnose you with celiac disease. The stool test detects antibodies associated with celiac disease in the stool (feces). This test has been shown to be unreliable as a screening test for celiac disease although it may help identify gluten sensitivity.
