If you’re suffering from symptoms such as bloating, stomach pain, diarrhoea and weight loss, and think you may be allergic to gluten, this Coeliac Screen blood test will help identify whether you may have Coeliac Disease. Understanding your sensitivities can help you to manage your health and your diet better.
 
Our Coeliac blood test will identify levels of antibodies that are produced by the body as part of an immune response to dietary proteins such as gluten found in wheat, barley and rye.
These antibodies cause inflammation in the gut and damage to the lining of the gut wall, which can cause symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, constipation, weight loss, indigestion and fatigue.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and believe you may have a gluten intolerance or Coeliac Disease, this test will help you understand your health better and get the answers you need.
Our test includes checks for:
Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG)
Tissue Transglutaminase is an enzyme that repairs damage within the body. Low levels of transglutaminase tissue in your blood are indicative of a Coeliac infection. The harmful antibodies in their place are known as anti-tissue transglutaminase.
Immunoglobulin (IgA)
Immunoglobulin A (IgA), one of the five primary immunoglobulins, plays a pivotal role in mucosal homeostasis in the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and genitourinary tracts, functioning as the dominant antibody of immunity in this role
