Book Gluten Allergy Test in Gurgaon

Now, there are several tests that could be done to measure celiac intolerance in the body. So, the tests that the doctor recommends should be the ones done. Those tests include:

• Simple blood test: This test checks for certain antibodies in higher quantities in the body if celiac disease is detected.
• Biopsy: A tissue from the small intestine is used for a biopsy. Initially, a blood test will be done, and if there are any traces of celiac, a biopsy of the intestine will be done.
• tTG-IgA test: Also known as the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody Test, is used for the initial screening of celiac. The test is very sensitive and accurate in its detection of celiac in a person – the specific antibody level is measured to see if the person has celiac disease.
• EMA test: This is done for people who are not sensitive enough to the earlier antibody test.
• Total serum IgA test: This is done to verify if IgA deficiency might give false reports for the tTG-IgA test.

Generally, there is very less risk of any major symptoms inside the body. The person might feel slight pain (or some bruising) in the area where the needle has been pierced to take the blood. But those tend to disappear pretty quickly and not cause any major problems to the patient. In very rare cases, the patient might develop blood collection under the skin or infection at the site where the needle was pierced. But that is a very rare occurrence and nothing major to worry about.

There are no major preparations needed for the test (preferably stay empty stomach before the test).

There are minor risks that do not happen under general circumstances. The technicians just need to be a little careful.

Maintaining a strict gluten-free diet is the best way to deal with this disease and prevent future problems.
