Intolerance Rapid Test - Take Control of Your Gluten Sensitivity
Easily check for celiac disease or gluten intolerance with this convenient at-home Celiac/Gluten Intolerance Rapid Test. Designed for accuracy and simplicity, this test helps detect celiac disease early, allowing you to manage your health more effectively. If your symptoms aren't due to celiac disease, they may be related to wheat intolerance or another sensitivity.
What Does the Celiac/Gluten Intolerance Test Measure?
This test identifies antibodies (IgA and IgG) against deamidated gliadin peptides (anti-DGP), which are crucial markers for diagnosing celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye. Unlike gluten intolerance, celiac disease leads to chronic inflammation in the small intestine and can cause symptoms like diarrhea, weight loss, and bloating.
Key Nutrient Deficiencies in Celiac Disease
Celiac disease often results in nutrient deficiencies due to impaired absorption. Common deficiencies include:
- Iron: Can lead to anemia.
- Calcium & Vitamin D: Essential for bone health; deficiencies can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
- Folate & Vitamin B12: Important for red blood cell production; deficiencies can result in anemia.
- Zinc: Crucial for immune and skin health.
- Vitamin B6: Important for brain function and metabolism.
Addressing these deficiencies through diet and supplementation is vital for managing celiac disease and improving overall health.
How the Celiac/Gluten Intolerance Rapid Test Works
This at-home test detects the presence of anti-DGP antibodies (IgA and IgG) in your blood. A positive result indicates a likely presence of celiac disease, with antibody levels around 20 U/ml. Simply follow the instructions to collect a small blood sample, use the test cassette, and get quick, clear results.
Exploring Additional Sensitivity and Intolerance Tests
If you’re unsure whether your symptoms are due to celiac disease or other intolerances, consider additional tests such as an Allergy Test or a Food Intolerance Test to identify other potential causes of discomfort.
Why Early Detection Matters
Celiac disease affects approximately 1% of the global population but is often undiagnosed due to its varied symptoms. Early detection and management through testing are crucial for preventing further health complications and improving quality of life.
