This test measures antibodies that may indicate celiac disease.

Celiac disease is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein that is found in wheat, barley, rye, or triticale. If you have celiac disease, your immune system releases certain antibodies in response to eating foods that contain gluten.
Screening for these antibodies can be a helpful first step in determining whether celiac disease may be affecting your health. It’s important to follow up with your healthcare provider as results of this test alone cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease.

Total IgA

IgA antibodies are found in the blood, sinuses, lungs, and stomach. They help protect these areas from infection. Having healthy levels of this antibody is important for your immune system. You can read more about the markers and how testing for these antibodies works under Questions below.

tTG-IgA and DGP-IgG

When you have celiac disease and ingest gluten, your immune system reacts by releasing certain antibodies, including tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin (tTG-IgA) and deamidated gliadin peptide immunoglobulin G (DGP-IgG). These are antibodies that can cause inflammation and damage the small intestine. You can read more about the markers and how testing for these antibodies works under Questions below.

Celiac Disease Screening Test

Food Sensitivity Test

Food Allergy Test

Measures

Presence or absence of antibodies that can indicate celiac disease

Current levels of IgG antibodies for a variety of foods

IgE reactivity to common food allergens

Intended use

To identify if you have an immune response to gluten, that might be connected to celiac disease

To identify foods in your current diet that might be connected to food sensitivity symptoms

To identify antibody responses to specific foods that might be connected to a food allergy

Potential symptoms

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition with chronic symptoms such as:

• Abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation
• Bloating
• Unexpected weight loss

Food sensitivities are a non-life-threatening condition with delayed symptoms such as:

• Abdominal pain
• Bloating
• Headache
• Indigestion

Food Allergies are a potentially life threatening condition with symptoms that can develop quickly such as:

• Abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation
• Hives or skin rash
• Runny nose, sneezing, congestion
• Tingling or itching
