Do Home Coeliac Tests Work?

The study found that the test can accurately monitor response to the gluten-free diet. Higher tTG and DGP antibodies were found 94 percent of the time in celiac disease not being treated with the diet compared to 64 percent when the gluten-free diet was being followed.

Are home celiac tests accurate?

These tests are not regarded as accurate or reliable. They do not diagnose coeliac disease. If you think you may have coeliac disease, you should continue to eat a normal diet which contains gluten and discuss getting tested for coeliac disease with your GP.

Can I test myself for celiac disease?

At-home antibody test

Called imaware™, the test measures the same antibodies to gluten as the tests that doctors use in their offices as the first step to diagnose celiac disease — anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG) and deaminated gliadin peptide (DGP) tests.
