Got gut symptoms and want to know if you have coeliac disease gluten sensitivity? Take a quick and easy blood test to find out.

Want to know if you have coeliac disease (celiac disease)? Take a coeliac disease blood test to find out.
Our Coeliac Disease Blood Test is a comprehensive antibody test that's recommended for diagnosing coeliac disease. The test is fast, accurate and you get a doctor's report explaining exactly what your results mean.
The bottom line is that if you want to know if you have coeliac disease, this is the blood test you need.
Coeliac disease affects about 1-in-100 people but most don't know they've got it. Although some people refer to coeliac disease as "gluten allergy", coeliac disease is actually an autoimmune condition, not an allergy. This means that coeliac disease is caused by your immune system reacting against your own body. In coeliac disease, a substance called gluten triggers your immune system to attack the lining of your gut, causing inflammation and gut symptoms. Gluten itself is harmless, it's the body's reaction to it that causes a problem. Gluten is found in wheat, barley and rye so you'll find it in bread, pasta, cakes and even beer.
Our coeliac blood test is for you if you have been experiencing any of the following symptoms commonly associated with coeliac disease:
You can also have these symptoms after eating gluten without having coeliac disease. This is called non-coeliac gluten sensitivity. The main way to tell the difference between Coeliac Disease and non-Coeliac gluten sensitivity is to take a Coeliac Disease test.
Lastly, it's important to know that a third of people with coeliac disease don't have any symptoms. This is called "silent-coeliac disease".
The coeliac disease blood test checks your levels of tissue transglutaminase IgA (TAA) antibody.
TAA Level (IU/ml) Meaning < 0.3 Possible IgA deficiency. We'll go on and test your total IgA levels and deamidated gliadin peptide antibodies if necessary. 0.3 - 6.9 Normal: coeliac disease very unlikely 7-10 Borderline. Coeliac disease possible, we'll go on and test your anti-endomysial IgA antibody levels for further information. > 10 Positive. Coeliac disease likely, we'll go on and test your anti-endomysial IgA antibody levels to confirm.If the test result is negative, but you still get symptoms when eating gluten, then you may have non-coeliac gluten sensitivity.
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune reaction to gluten characterised by inflammation in the bowel. However, some people complain of gut symptoms when eating gluten but have no inflammation in the bowel. This is "gluten intolerance" or "non-coeliac gluten sensitivity". The only way to tell the difference between non-coeliac gluten sensitivity and coeliac disease is to take a coeliac disease test.

Think it's probably irritable bowel syndrome but not sure? Before accepting a diagnosis of IBS, take our IBS test to check for the other common causes of gut symptoms.
Screening Test for Coeliac Disease
This test measures IgA and IgG antibodies, essential in helping to diagnose coeliac disease and gluten sensitivity. Due to the comprehensive scale of this profile a phlebotomy sample is needed.
Worried that gluten might be affecting your health? If you've been experiencing symptoms like bloating, fatigue, or unexplained weight loss, our Coeliac Blood Test can help identify whether coeliac disease could be a concern.
Understanding coeliac disease Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the ingestion of gluten - a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye - triggers an immune response that damages the lining of the small intestine.
This test measures the level of transglutaminase antibody (tTG) in the blood. High tTG levels indicate coeliac disease, an autoimmune disorder in which gluten triggers an immune reaction that damages the gut and can affect many parts of the body.
Type 1 Diabetes and Coeliac Disease are closely linked autoimmune conditions that can develop silently before symptoms appear.
