Tests for Gluten-Related Illness and More Are Discounted With FEBC Lab Testing Benefit

SAN RAMON, Calif., March 16, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Curious if the gluten you eat is making you sick? While the diagnosis of gluten-related diseases is a multi-step process, those who eat gluten and experience specific symptoms may want to take the first step to see what might be causing the issues. Financial Education Benefits Center (FEBC), a membership benefits company, is offering a benefit which discounts a variety of laboratory tests, including for gluten- and wheat-related conditions.

“Knowing whether a key part of your diet is making you sick might be a big deal for your health, so we are happy to be offering this lab testing benefit,” said Jennifer Martinez, Manager at FEBC.

While “gluten-free” has become a powerful market trend in recent years, some may not be aware of why folks may need to avoid gluten.

Celiac disease is a condition which triggers the body to attack itself if gluten is ingested, specifically damaging the small intestine. Individuals with celiac disease can experience a variety of symptoms when they eat gluten, and if untreated, the disease can cause serious health issues. Other folks may not have celiac disease but experience non-celiac wheat sensitivity. While scientists are still figuring out precisely what non-celiac wheat sensitivity actually is—and it may be attributed to non-gluten dietary components of wheat—it still affects lives.

Eligible members who can access this benefit can receive discounts on many different laboratory tests. Availability may vary depending on the presence of participating labs in a geographic location. However, participating labs are located across the United States. The available lab tests may include those that look for specific antibodies which may help diagnose gluten-related illness. FEBC members with access to this benefit can order tests online or by phone and apply a discount code during the payment process.

“Lab tests can get expensive, especially if you want multiple kinds of tests,” said Martinez. “Having a handy discount available can make the testing process simpler for our FEBC members.”
