  • Tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA)

About this test

This test looks for tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) antibodies, a marker commonly raised when the immune system is reacting to gluten in a way consistent with coeliac disease. It is a single-marker screen rather than a full antibody panel.

Among the coeliac tests we track, it is the cheapest by some margin: the next cheapest, from Selph, costs £63 for four markers, and prices in the group run up to £299 for Randox Health's four-marker panel. At £15.99, it sits far below the £169 group median.

It scores well for value for money and for collection convenience, since it is a self-read test with a result in minutes rather than a postal blood test. It scores lower for results and follow-up because, in line with the rest of the range, it is not doctor-reviewed as standard, and moderately for clinical depth since it checks one marker rather than the broader four-marker panels some competitors offer.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a low-cost, immediate first check for a coeliac-related antibody, for example if you have digestive symptoms and want an initial read before deciding whether to pursue a fuller work-up. If you want more than one antibody covered, Selph's Coeliac Disease Blood Test checks four markers for £63, and Medichecks' Coeliac Blood Test checks two markers for £169, both broader panels than this single-marker self-test.

How it works

You take a finger-prick blood sample at home and read the result yourself, with the provider stating a result in around ten minutes and no need to post anything to a lab. Results are not doctor-reviewed as standard; the provider recommends speaking to a doctor about a positive result or ongoing symptoms.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Cheapest coeliac test in the comparison group at £15.99
  • Result in about ten minutes with no lab post-back needed
  • Simple finger-prick sample rather than a full blood draw

Cons

  • Checks one antibody, fewer than some competitors' multi-marker panels
  • No doctor review as standard, so a positive result needs a GP follow-up
  • Selph and Medichecks both offer panels covering more than one marker

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Cheapest coeliac screen in the comparison group
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

This single-marker rapid test checks for tTG-IgA antibodies from a finger-prick blood sample in around ten minutes, and at £15.99 it is the cheapest coeliac test we track, well below the £169 group median. It is not doctor-reviewed as standard, so any positive result needs following up with a doctor.
