Glucose Tolerance Test?

Gluten, not glucose. [...]

Ah! Thanks. ;-)

No, I've not had that test and can probably not afford it at this time.
Even with health insurance, I still can't afford elective health care.

Testing for celiac for someone who already knows they are
gluten-sensitive is certainly far from elective. Gluten is in at least
half the products on grocery shelves in one form or another so it takes
practice and a great deal of diligence to avoid it. For people with
this genetic condition (roughly 1 in 100), there is no safe level of
gluten. This is a manifestly serious condition that can readily lead to
a bevy of other grave health problems or early death if untreated or
treated too late. Denial is sometimes a problematic collateral issue
because of the extent of diet modification required. But, it's your
health and your business. I'll say no more.
