The fastest SIBO Test, complete at home and get your results in 5 working days. SIBO is where you have high levels of bacteria in the small intestine and maybe contributing to your digestive symptoms
Test whether your adverse reaction to gluten is due to coeliac disease. Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition that means when you eat gluten, your immune system is triggered to attack your small intestines.

What is gluten?
Many people have adverse reactions to gluten which is part of the protein found in wheat, oats, rye and barley. In extreme cases this manifests itself as coeliac disease. However many sufferers, who would not necessarily be diagnosed as coeliac, find that their health improves dramatically with the removal of gluten from the diet.
It is important to remember that some people have coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity without significant symptoms. Coeliac disease is usually recognised early in childhood, but may disappear in adolescence and reappear later in adulthood.
At Smart Nutrition we pride ourselves in offering the best cost possible for the coeliac test
The gluten antibody (Coeliac test) test:
Symptoms associated with gluten sensitivity:
It is now known that coeliac disease involves an abnormal immune response in which the body produces specific gluten antibodies to fight the gluten which then react with an individual’s own digestive tract. Elevated levels of specific antibodies can diagnose this reaction.
The coeliac test measures:
Total IgA
Anti-deamidated gliadin IgA (DGP IgA)
Anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG IgA)
Anti-deamidated gliadin IgG (DGP IgG) 9.1
Anti-tissue transglutaminase IgG (tTG IgG)
Anti-endomysial IgA (EMA IgA
The coeliac test requires a blood sample from a blood draw. You will need to arrange a blood draw via your GP or private phlebotomy service. The fee for any blood draw is not included with your test fee.
Samples must be received at the laboratory within 24 hours of the blood draw. Do not book a blood draw on a Friday-Sunday.
Before the coeliac test ;
Eat a varied diet 2-3 weeks before collecting your sample. Doing so will help to ensure the presence of antibodies to problematic foods. Antibodies to a particular food may be absent if the food was not consumed recently.
If you have been avoiding gluten for some time, one of the antibodies will come up with a false negative reading, so it is important that you eat some gluten-containing grains prior to completing the test.
Do not eat foods that you have a known allergic reaction to.
The following medications may influence the antibody test results: Glucocorticoids (e.g., oral prednisone and/or steroid metered-dose inhaler), chemotherapy, other immunosuppressive agents (e.g., Humira, Rituxan), NSAIDS (e.g., Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Aspirin), anticonvulsants (e.g., Carbamaze.
Antibody testing may be inaccurate if you are a patient with liver disease, severe kidney disease, protein-losing enteropathy, HIV infection or other immuno-deficiency conditions. The test results will be inaccurately influenced if you have rheumatological pathologies associated with the production of heterophilic antibodies, for instance rheumatoid factor (RF).
Do not stop any medication without consulting your GP or therapist.
It is recommended that children are at least 1 years of age. IgG testing can be influenced by maternal factors in the first year. Breastfeeding can transfer IgG and IgA antibodies but the clinical significance of these is inconclusive.
IgE antibodies do not cross the placenta but patterns of sensitisation need to be considered. Sensitisation in foods can occur when a baby is a few weeks old but respiratory allergens is thought to be around 2-3 years. Allowing 1 year means this process can happen.
Please return via a next day service Monday – Thursday only. A courier option is sent with your test kit. You pay the laboratory directly for this test and also the return courier if you use the service. You can also make your own arrangements for returning your samples via a next day service.
Samples must be received at the laboratory within 24 hours of the blood draw. Do not book a blood draw on a Friday-Sunday.
Results for the coeliac test will take 12 working days*
* Please note that in busy periods this may be extended by a couple of days.
Your coeliac test results will be emailed to you.
