Celiac Disease Antibody Screening Test

The Celiac Disease Antibody Panel is a blood test designed to detect specific antibodies associated with celiac disease, an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and many foods and products that contain these grains. In people with celiac disease, consuming gluten causes the immune system to attack the lining of the small intestine.

This immune response damages the intestinal villi, which are tiny projections responsible for absorbing nutrients from food. When the villi are damaged, the body cannot properly absorb vitamins and minerals, leading to malnutrition and a wide range of symptoms that may affect digestion, energy levels, bone health, and neurological function.

Celiac disease can develop at any age and presents differently from person to person. Some individuals experience digestive symptoms such as diarrhea or abdominal pain, while others may have non-digestive symptoms like fatigue, anemia, migraines, or infertility. Some people have no noticeable symptoms at all but are still at risk for long-term complications.

Early detection through antibody testing is critical. Identifying celiac disease before significant intestinal damage occurs allows individuals to adopt a gluten-free diet that can restore intestinal health, relieve symptoms, and prevent serious complications.

What Is Included In This Test?

This panel measures multiple antibodies associated with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.

Your results include:

• Tissue Transglutaminase antibodies IgA and IgG
• Deamidated Gliadin peptide antibodies IgA and IgG
• Immunoglobulin A level to confirm accurate antibody testing

These markers work together to provide a reliable assessment of immune response to gluten.

Why Does This Test Matter?

Celiac disease is common but frequently goes undiagnosed because symptoms can be vague or mimic other conditions. Without testing, individuals may suffer from unexplained health issues for years.

Untreated celiac disease can lead to serious complications, including anemia, osteoporosis, infertility, neurological conditions, liver disease, and increased risk of certain cancers. Early diagnosis helps prevent ongoing intestinal damage and reduces the risk of additional autoimmune disorders.

Antibody testing offers a non-invasive first step toward diagnosis and helps identify individuals who may need confirmatory testing, such as an intestinal biopsy. It also provides clarity when symptoms are persistent but unexplained.

Because antibodies decrease once gluten is removed from the diet, testing while still consuming gluten is essential for accurate results.

Who Should Consider This Test?

This test is ideal for individuals with symptoms, risk factors, or conditions associated with celiac disease.

You should consider this test if you:

• Have digestive symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, or abdominal pain
• Have unexplained iron deficiency anemia or nutrient deficiencies
• Experience fatigue, migraine,s bone or joint pain
• Have a close family member with celiac disease
• Have another autoimmune condition such as type 1 diabetes or thyroid disease
• Have fertility issues or recurrent miscarriage
• Have certain genetic conditions such as Down syndrome or Turner syndrome

Testing helps uncover celiac disease even when symptoms are mild or absent.
