  • Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG antibodies
  • Endomysial IgA antibodies
  • Tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies
  • Total IgA antibodies

About this test

The Coeliac Disease Blood Test measures four antibodies: tissue transglutaminase IgA, endomysial IgA, deamidated gliadin peptide IgG, and total IgA. Testing total IgA alongside the others matters because some people have an IgA deficiency that can make a tissue transglutaminase IgA result misleadingly low, so the panel also checks deamidated gliadin peptide IgG as a backup marker in that situation.

Against the 11 coeliac tests we track, its 4 markers are far above the median of 1, and its £63 price is 63% below the £169 median. Most competitors, such as Bluecrest Wellness (£65) and Blue Horizon Medicals (£106.25), test only the single tissue transglutaminase marker. Only Selph's own Essential IBS Test (£199) and Randox Health's Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes and Coeliac Detection Panel (£299) match its 4-marker coverage, both at a substantially higher price.

This combination of high marker count and low relative price is why it scores at the top of the scale for Clinical Depth and value for money. Collection Convenience and Trust Signals also score highly, reflecting the choice of collection method and doctor review of every result.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you have gut symptoms that could be linked to gluten, such as bloating, diarrhoea or stomach pain, and want a fuller antibody panel than the single-marker tests most providers offer. If you have already had a positive antibody result and want additional markers alongside inflammation and infection screening, Selph's own Essential IBS Test (£199) covers a wider mix, though at a higher price.

How it works

You can collect a sample at home with a finger-prick kit included in the price, or pay more for the Tasso EasyDraw device, a clinic visit or a nurse draw at home or work; a self-arranged venous draw is also included. A Selph doctor reviews your antibody results and provides a written report, typically within 2 to 3 days.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Tests 4 coeliac antibodies where most rival tests measure only one.
  • £63 is 63% below the £169 median price for coeliac tests we track.
  • Includes a total IgA check, which helps flag a false-negative result in people with IgA deficiency.
  • Four collection options, including a nurse visit at home or work.

Cons

  • An antibody result still needs interpreting alongside your symptoms and diet, so see your GP about next steps.
  • Slower turnaround (2 to 3 days) than Selph's single-marker blood tests, which return in 1 to 2.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Broad coeliac panel priced well below rivals
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

This 4-marker coeliac antibody panel costs £63, well below the £169 median for the 11 coeliac tests we track and far ahead on marker count, since most rivals test only one antibody. Only Selph's own Essential IBS Test (£199) and Randox Health's Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes and Coeliac Detection Panel (£299) match its 4 markers, both at a much higher price. The main thing to bear in mind is that any antibody test needs interpreting alongside your symptoms and diet.
