The Celiac & Gluten Sensitivity profile looks at your body’s response to gluten by measuring the levels of specific antibodies in your blood. This helps to determine if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

The Celiac & Gluten Sensitivity Test helps determine whether your body reacts negatively to gluten and distinguishes between celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).

What It Does

• Celiac Disease Testing:
• Looks for specific antibodies in your blood that indicate an autoimmune reaction to gluten, which damages the small intestine.
• Gluten Sensitivity Testing: Identifies if gluten causes symptoms like bloating or diarrhea without the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease. •
• May also include genetic tests or biopsies for a more accurate diagnosis.

Why It’s Important

• For Celiac Disease: Early diagnosis prevents complications like malnutrition, anemia, and long-term damage to the intestines.
• For Gluten Sensitivity: Helps confirm if gluten is causing your symptoms so you can adjust your diet appropriately.
• Differentiates between celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, and other conditions like wheat allergy.

Bottom Line: This test helps pinpoint whether gluten is harming your body and guides you toward the right dietary changes to improve your health and well-being.
