Coeliac Screen Blood Test

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.

Understanding Coeliac Disease

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition where consumption of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. The Coeliac Screen Blood Test is crucial for diagnosing this condition effectively. It measures specific antibodies in your blood, indicating whether your body is reacting negatively to gluten. However, it is essential to continue consuming gluten before taking this test to ensure accurate results. Because early diagnosis can prevent serious health issues, understanding the significance of this test is the first step towards better health.

The Testing Process

The Coeliac Screen Blood Test involves a simple blood draw, typically done in a healthcare setting. The test checks for the presence of antibodies such as tTG-IgA and EMA. While the procedure is quick and generally low-risk, it is vital to communicate with your doctor about any symptoms you may be experiencing. This helps them interpret the results accurately. So if you suspect you have gluten sensitivity, getting this test can provide peace of mind or a pathway to further action.

Interpreting the Results

Understanding the results from the Coeliac Screen Blood Test can determine the next steps in your health journey. If your test results are positive, further testing, such as an intestinal biopsy, may be recommended to confirm coeliac disease. Conversely, a negative result usually means you are not affected by the disease. However, it is important to discuss these results with your healthcare provider for personalized advice. This is vital because, even with a negative result, symptoms can still persist or another gluten-related disorder might exist.

What biomarkers do we test?

More Information

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
