Gluten Intolerance + Celiac Disease Test – This test detects antibodies in the blood against tissue transglutaminase and gliadins. Gluten, found in grains, can trigger an immune system reaction that damages the epithelium of the small intestine, leading to severe issues related to nutrient malabsorption. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the intestinal lining becomes inflamed after gluten consumption. Conversely, gluten intolerance is an allergic reaction to gluten, which can be immediate or delayed.
Test accuracy (tTG: tissue transglutaminase) is 98%,
Test accuracy (DGP: deamidated gliadin peptides) is 98%,
Suitable for patients of all ages,
Quick results from a small finger-prick blood sample.
