I have not used them.  But in looking at the website, I noticed they had a test for Celiac.  I am assuming it's the blood test.  It also incorrectly states that it is the most sensitive test out there and unless I am mistaken, that is not true (scope being the most sensitive).  The food allergy testing section is another one that throws red flags up for me because unless you narrow down what you are reacting to, those tests can be very dangerous.  (I have a child that tests positive for wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, rice, milk, soy, peanuts and tree nuts but his true allergies are only wheat, rye, barley and egg - narrowing a diet based on false positives without a drs orders can be detrimental).

I am wary of places that play into "Dr. Google".  Is there any reason she cannot see a physical doctor and have them order tests?  I know it can be expensive but at the same time much of these tests are quite possibly shots in the dark that can lead up to being expensive quickly if you test for a variety of things.  Especially if you don't receive answers you anticipate and have no idea where to proceed.
