Checks for antibodies linked to the body's immune response to gluten, plus total IgA, to help assess whether coeliac disease could be a concern. Suits people with symptoms such as bloating or fatigue who still eat gluten.
2 biomarkers as listed by Medichecks.
The T transglutaminase IgA antibody is commonly used to assess the body's immune response to gluten, which can be relevant if coeliac disease is a concern. Total immunoglobulin A is measured alongside it because a small number of people are naturally low in IgA, which can make the main antibody result harder to interpret. A result from this test does not diagnose coeliac disease; it can help you and your GP decide whether further investigation is worthwhile.
Among the 11 tests in our Coeliac test comparison group, the median is 1 biomarker and £169, so this test's price sits exactly at the median while offering one extra marker. Cheaper alternatives with more markers exist, though: Selph's Coeliac Disease Blood Test covers 4 markers for £63, and Bluecrest Wellness's Coeliac Disease test is £65 for 1 marker. London Medical Laboratory's Coeliac/Gluten Sensitivity Profile covers 3 markers for £124, also less than this test.
The scores reflect this: clinical depth scores well since its two markers beat the group median of one; clarity scores well for publishing full detail, though not the report format; value for money is middling since the price sits right at the group median with no discount; collection convenience is moderate since there is no at-home option, though a home nurse visit is offered; trust signals and results and follow-up reflect Medichecks' standard facts: a Trustpilot rating of 4.5 from 2,477 reviews, UKAS ISO 15189 accredited partner labs, doctor review included as standard, and 25 years trading since 2001.
This suits people with symptoms such as bloating, fatigue or unexplained weight loss who want to check for gluten-related antibodies before deciding, with their GP, whether further investigation is worthwhile. You need to keep eating gluten in at least two meals a day for six weeks beforehand for the result to be meaningful, and to visit a clinic or arrange a home nurse visit, since there is no at-home option. If cost matters more than convenience, Selph's Coeliac Disease Blood Test covers twice the markers for well under half the price, at £63.
You provide a blood sample either at an in-store clinic, with a home nurse visit, or as a venous draw at a clinic; there is no at-home finger-prick option. Before testing, you need to have been eating gluten in at least two meals a day for at least six weeks. The fact sheet does not detail further lab processing beyond the two markers measured. Results are back within 2 days, and every test comes with a doctor's review as standard.
At £169, this two-marker coeliac antibody test sits right at the median price for coeliac tests we track, but rivals such as Selph's four-marker Coeliac Disease Blood Test cost less than half as much. You need to visit a clinic or arrange a home nurse visit, since there is no at-home finger-prick option, and results are reviewed by a doctor. You also need to have been eating gluten in at least two meals a day for six weeks beforehand for the result to be meaningful.

2 biomarkers against a median of 1 across the 11 tests in its comparison group.
A blood sample taken at home by a visiting nurse or phlebotomist; with a venous or clinic option as well; a home nurse visit is offered; results in around 2 days, well ahead of the gut health norm of 5.
Results are reviewed by a doctor; the provider does not describe the report format.

Broad coeliac panel priced well below rivals
A 4-antibody blood panel used to assess for coeliac disease, covering tissue transglutaminase, endomysial and deamidated gliadin antibodies plus total IgA, for people with ongoing gut symptoms after eating gluten.
3-marker coeliac panel priced below the group median
A blood test measuring IgA and IgG antibodies used to help assess coeliac disease and gluten sensitivity, alongside tissue transglutaminase IgA. Suited to people investigating unexplained gut symptoms possibly linked to gluten.
Broad symptom screen priced above the coeliac group median
A 4-marker blood and stool panel screening for coeliac antibodies, gut inflammation and H. pylori infection, for people with IBS-type symptoms who want other common causes checked alongside a GP assessment.
Mid-priced coeliac check, cheaper than most rivals
This blood test measures tTg-IgA, the antibody most often used to investigate coeliac disease, to help you decide whether further testing is worthwhile. It suits adults eating a normal, gluten-containing diet who want a first coeliac check.
Cheapest coeliac screen in the comparison group
A rapid at-home finger-prick blood test for tTG-IgA antibodies, a marker commonly used to help assess whether ongoing gluten-related symptoms warrant further investigation.
One of the cheapest coeliac screening tests we compare
A blood test that measures tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG), used to screen for coeliac disease, an autoimmune reaction to gluten. It suits people with digestive symptoms who want an initial screen before seeing a GP.
Most biomarkers in its group, but the priciest by far
A blood test combining genetic risk scores and autoantibody screening for both Type 1 diabetes and coeliac disease, for anyone wanting to check both conditions together.
Fastest Better2Know coeliac screen, priced above most peers
Screens for coeliac disease and gluten sensitivity from a single blood marker, with results back in two working days. Suits people who want a faster result than Better2Know's other coeliac screens.
Nearly triple the median price for one coeliac marker
Tests for a coeliac disease marker from a blood sample. Despite the name, Better2Know's own description discusses tissue transglutaminase (TTA) antibody testing rather than a distinct genetic method.
Most expensive test in its coeliac comparison group
A single-marker blood screen for coeliac disease from Better2Know, with results in around 10 working days. Suits people who want a basic check without paying for a wider panel.
