Celiac Disease Complete Profile Blood Test

Also Known As

Celiac Disease Antibody Test, Gliadin (Deamidated Peptide) IgA, IgG, or IgA, 

Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG), IgA, IgG 

The Purpose of a Celiac Disease Blood Test

If you have celiac disease, you’re not just being trendy in trying to avoid gluten, the proteins found in wheat, barley, rye, and other grains. While some people have gluten sensitivity that causes gastrointestinal irritation, celiac disease is more severe.

With this autoimmune condition, you can’t digest gluten; even worse, it prevents your small intestine from properly digesting food. That can lead to GI damage and nutritional deficiencies if celiac disease isn’t managed. A celiac test can help diagnose this disorder so you can develop a treatment plan; it can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of your plan to make sure it’s working.

What Does the Celiac Disease Test Measure?

This test detects any antibodies your immune system produces in response to gluten consumption. With celiac disease, the gluten is identified by the immune system as a germ (just like a virus, for instance) and mounts a defense against it. These antibodies affect the small intestine, causing symptoms such as bloating or gas.

Who Should Take a Celiac Test?

This condition is hereditary, so you may want to use the celiac disease blood test as a screening if you have a family history of the disorder. (You may also be more susceptible to celiac disease if you already have another autoimmune disorder.)

A celiac disease test is also recommended if you haven’t been diagnosed with the disorder but have associated symptoms, including:

• Stomach pain
• Gas
• Diarrhea or constipation
• Bloating
• Nausea and/or vomiting
• Unexplained weight loss
• Stools with an unpleasant odor
• Non-GI symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, mouth sores, and skin rashes

Celiac Blood Test Preparation

You don’t have to follow special instructions before taking a blood test for celiac disease.

Celiac Disease Complete Profile Blood Test Results

A positive test result means you have antibodies linked to celiac disease and may need to undergo more testing to determine if there is any gastrointestinal damage. If antibodies weren’t detected in your blood sample, that means you have a negative result. In some cases, the results may not be inconclusive and you may need to re-test.
