Wheat Gluten Intolerance Test - Celiac Test

Product Information

While reputable companies use proven methodologies to analyze your sample, results should still be considered preliminary. Food allergen testing services are offered in Austria, the United Kingdom, the United States, Singapore, and China for all relevant food allergens in raw materials, finished food samples, rinse waters, and environmental swabs. The services are applicable for all steps in the food production process. If you have celiac disease, you’ll need to avoid all sources of gluten. Currently, a gluten-free diet is the only treatment for celiac disease.

Having a gluten sensitivity isn’t the same as having celiac disease. You may experience unpleasant symptoms after eating foods with gluten, but you’re not experiencing the autoimmune complications inherent to celiac. Don’t consider the results a diagnosis. Rather, this is a starting point of insights and information you can use for next steps. There’s no definitive test for gluten sensitivity. If you suspect your symptoms are related to gluten in the foods you eat, the best treatment is to change your diet. At Romer Labs, we offer an extensive range of solutions for gluten detection, including certified and AOAC approved test kits and analytical services. Our gluten test kit portfolio covers ELISAs and LFDs for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of gluten in environmental samples, rinse waters, and liquid and solid foodstuffs. Highly specific, next generation antibody - G12®

Both the ISO 9001 certification and ISO 17025 accreditation guarantee reliable and accurate results. If tests continue to show positive, an endoscopy and biopsy will likely be the next steps to confirm a diagnosis. What makes someone susceptible to celiac disease? Alternative tests may claim to diagnose food related ‘problems’, allergies or intolerances, but they are not used for coeliac disease. Food allergens present a persistent challenge for individuals with allergies, making it crucial for food producers to accurately detect potential allergen contamination. Employing reliable test kits ensures the safety of consumers and compliance with regulatory standards. If you’re eating gluten regularly and experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms, you may be exhibiting symptoms of a gluten sensitivity. Symptoms can include:

In addition to the polyclonal gluten antibody used in its traditional test kits, Romer Labs offers methods that employ a next-generation antibody, the G12®. This monoclonal antibody was raised against a 33-amino-acid-long peptide that contains a repetitive epitope from Alpha-2-gliadin and is and a principal contributor to gluten immunotoxicity. The 33-mer is highly resistant to digestive degradation and is therefore well suited as an analytical marker. Stahl MG, et al. (2021). Mass screening for celiac disease: The Autoimmunity Screening for Kids Study. This is the lowest amount of gluten that can be reliably detected using scientifically validated testing methods and is considered safe for people with celiac disease. Home testing kits for coeliac disease are now available over the counter and online. If you do use a home testing kit it is important that whatever the outcome you discuss your symptoms with your GP.Romer Labs provides a comprehensive portfolio of gluten test kits designed for both qualitative (AgraStrip®) and quantitative (AgraQuant®) analyses of food allergens. These versatile tests cater to various applications, covering all phases of the food production process: Antibody tests: They identify certain proteins, including tissue transglutaminase antibodies, that are present in the blood of people who have celiac disease. The G12® antibody represents the next generation of gluten testing, as it targets toxic peptides that trigger auto-immune reactions in people suffering from celiac disease. It is a monoclonal antibody that was raised against the immunotoxic 33-mer peptide containing epitopes from the gliadin fraction in gluten. Results obtained from immunochemical test systems based on the G12® antibody should be considered to be closer to the ideal of a food safety test, as they establish the important link between celiac disease and detection of the immunotoxic peptides. The AgraQuant® Gluten G12® ELISA test kit is an AACC International Approved method (AACCI 38-52.01) and an AOAC-approved Official Method of Analysis (OMA 2014.03). In contrast, genetic tests are less invasive and typically just require a cheek swab. These tests analyze DNA for mutations that are often found in people who have celiac disease.

There is only one clear way of getting diagnosed - a medical diagnosis with a blood test and gut biopsy. If you already have an autoimmune disease, like type 1 diabetes, your susceptibility for developing celiac disease also increases. How do you know if you’re sensitive to gluten without a test? At-home celiac tests that scan for antibodies require that you eat foods containing gluten for a specific amount of time before taking the test.

No. For accuracy, it’s important that you eat a gluten-containing diet before performing an antibody test for celiac. Tests look for specific antibodies to diagnose celiac disease, and they may not be present in your blood if you haven’t been eating gluten.
