Got Guts Celiac Screening Q&A
 
Will you offer free Celiac Screening at the Got Guts 5K?
Yes, thanks to a generous donation by Prometheus Labs and the Binding Site, and involvement from Dr. Lubin of Austin Gastroenterology in helping distribute the results, we can provide free screening for 300 people. Also thanks to our legal team from Strasburger and also Maureen Dolan and our volunteer nurses for their support. And one more thanks to Gluten free Keads for helping us arrange this screening! I'm impressed with just how many hands are involved in bringing this free screening to the community.
.
What if I'm a volunteer at the race, can I still qualify for free Celiac screening?
Yes, we appreciate our volunteers and they are definitely entitled to free screening.
.
How does the screening work?
We have several nurses who have agreed to volunteer collect blood draws at the Got Guts event.  We'll ship the samples to Prometheus Labs in California and the results will be sent to Dr. Lubin for appropriate distribution to the participants via mail or phone.
.
How long until we receive the results?
Results should be available within a few weeks or a month at the longest.
.
What if there aren't enough tests?
 
I'm from out of town, can I still come to the Got Guts 5k and receive the screening?
Yes, you will receive your results via mail or phone.
 
Where can I find out more about the Prometheus test we will use at Got Guts?
We will use the Prometheus tTG test which is an initial screening test for Celiac Disease.  This is a useful screening tool for people who believe they may have celiac disease or those 1st or 2nd degree relatives of known celiac patients that want to get tested since they have a greater risk of developing or having celiac disease.   
 

Is the test we will receive at Got Guts a useful indicator of compliance with a gluten-free diet?
Yes, the tTG test is an indicator of compliance with a gluten-free diet.  More information here.

Where can I find out more about the full range of Prometheus tests available through physicians?
Here is a link to their patient brochure.  http://prometheuslabs2007.egofactory.com/Resources/Celiac/CeliacTesting_Patient_Info.pdf

 
Why should I get screened for Celiac Disease?
If you have undiagnosed Celiac, you are at risk for developing serious health conditions and damaging your digestive system. Celiac Disease affects one in 133 Americans and most are not diagnosed.  Many will have no symptoms.
 
What can I do to help with Got Guts 5K Run, Walk and Food Fair?
You can register and participate in the activities on September 14.  Or you can volunteer by sending an email to Mary Negus marynegus@gotguts5k.com.
