Gluten Reactivity

ANALYTES

Analytes are the substances measured in this test, which include:


  • Anti-Gliadin IgG

  • Anti-Gliadin IgA 

  • Transglutaminase IgA

rESULTS

sample Req.

Antibodies including Gliadin IgA, Gliadin IgG, and Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA are assessed to evaluate immune reactivity to gluten exposure. 


Results are interpreted against reference ranges to determine whether antibody concentrations fall within expected limits or demonstrate elevated immune activity consistent with either non-celiac gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.


  • Anti-gliadin IgG test for IgG antibodies directed against gliadin, a component of gluten. This marker may be elevated in coeliac disease but also in non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, and can be useful in cases with gluten reactivity without celiac disease.


  • Anti-gliadin IgA tests for IgA antibodies produced in response to gliadin. It is detected in approximately 80% of individuals with coeliac disease, but also in non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, and can be useful in cases with gluten reactivity without celiac disease.


  • Transglutaminase IgA tests for IgA antibodies directed against tissue transglutaminase, an enzyme involved in intestinal tissue repair. This is the primary and most specific screening marker for coeliac disease, reflecting gluten-induced immune activity in the small intestine.

The results of your health assessment have identified specific signs and symptoms that are clinically consistent with an increased risk of


  • Gluten Reactivity and Coeliac Disease


Positive Coeliac results are associated with a range of conditions and signs, which have been clinically verified to include


  • Discomfort, loose stools or nausea on exposure to gluten


This investigation is optional and may be used to verify the need for intervention. There is no treatment plan for Coeliac Disease, verification is to ascertain if gluten should be avoided completely. 

A blood collection kit will be dispatched to you by post.


This collection kit must be presented to an affiliated pathology provider, where a qualified phlebotomist will perform the blood draw and arrange return of the specimen to the laboratory in accordance with standard handling protocols.
