I got the celiac blood test for free. It was ordered by a gastroenterologist at St Michael's Hospital, and apparently the test was done at McMaster. It was called TTIGA.
Between hearing "might be celiac" from that doc, and getting the "celiac negative" result, I found my body was sensitive to eating wheat. Apparently gluten-sensitivity can be psychosomatic!
All that being said, I would have gladly dropped $200 to find out for sure whether I can eat wheat.

Good luck with your tests!
