Are you or a loved one experiencing digestive discomfort or unexplained health issues? Coeliac disease might be the culprit. This common digestive condition affects approximately 1% of the UK population, with many more likely suffering from its milder forms, often misdiagnosed as conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The significance of identifying coeliac disease cannot be overstated, as it can impact your overall well-being. That’s where our Coeliac Test Kit comes to your aid.
Coeliac disease is a digestive ailment that leads to inflammation and damage in the small intestine, preventing the absorption of vital nutrients. Although it affects both men and women, reported cases in women are notably higher, often occurring at any age.
An adverse reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, is the root cause of coeliac disease. This means that understanding your gluten intolerance status is pivotal to your health.
Don’t let coeliac disease go undetected, as it could be affecting your health more than you realise. Take the first step toward a healthier you with our Coeliac Test Kit. It’s time to regain control of your digestive health and overall well-being.
Gluten is a dietary protein found in any food that contains wheat, barley and rye, including pasta, cakes, bread, breakfast cereal and beer.
Eating foods containing gluten can trigger a range of gut-related symptoms, such as diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bloating and flatulence (passing wind), indigestion and constipation.
It can also cause a number of more general symptoms, including fatigue, unexpected weight loss and an itchy rash.
There is no cure for coeliac disease, but switching to a gluten-free diet should help control symptoms and prevent the long-term consequences of the condition. Even if you have non-existent or mild symptoms, changing your diet is still recommended because continuing to eat gluten can lead to serious complications. Therefore, it is important to get a diagnosis so that you can make the necessary changes.
The test detects the presence of the antibodies IgA and IgG, which have been proven to be present in those who suffer from gluten intolerance.
It is very simple – just make sure your hands are clean and warm, and then obtain a blood drop using the lancets included and transfer to the test cassette. Then just add 3 drops of the buffer solution and then read your results after 10 minutes. If you get just a control line, then this is a negative result for Coeliac disease; if you get 2 lines, then this indicates a positive result for Coeliac disease.
You should consult with your GP for advice on the next steps, which will include altering your diet to reduce or eradicate gluten intake.
It is recommended to take the test when experiencing Coeliac disease symptoms as outlined above. It can be done any time of day, on a full or empty stomach.
No – the antibodies will not be present if you are not eating any gluten–based food or drink.
