What this Test measures
Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects about 1 in 100 people worldwide. It occurs when gluten is ingested and triggers an immune response that attacks the small intestine. This can cause damage to the intestinal lining and prevent the absorption of nutrients, leading to a range of symptoms. However, celiac disease can be challenging to diagnose because it affects people differently, and the symptoms can be similar to other conditions, such as food sensitivity or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is estimated that up to 83% of people with celiac disease are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, leading to ongoing health problems if the condition is not treated correctly.
A simple blood test can detect whether you have harmful antibodies in your blood that attack your own body in response to gluten consumption.

- Deamidated Gliadin IgA
- Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG
- Deamidated Gliadin IgG

Questions? We Have Answers.
Celiac disease is a chronic and multiorgan autoimmune disease that affects the small bowel in genetically predisposed persons due to the ingestion of gluten. It can present a wide range of symptoms such as anemia, vague abdominal symptoms, esophagitis, neuropathy, ataxia, depression, short stature, osteomalacia, and multiple others. For the majority of patients, their celiac disease remains undiagnosed.
If you are experiencing the following symptoms when eating foods that contain gluten (wheat, rye, barley, triticale), you are a good candidate for the MLD Celiac Disease At Home Test.
Symptoms:
- Abdominal Pain
- Bloating
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Flatulence
- Weight loss/failure to thrive
- Headaches
- Peripheral neuropathy
Those with increased risk for celiac disease typically have a family member with celiac disease, have other autoimmune disorders and/or have Type 1 diabetes.
With a specificity of 98.5%, MLD’s Celiac Disease At Home blood test identifies the presence of the following antibodies:
- Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA
- Deamidated Gliadin IgA
- Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG
- Deamidated Gliadin IgG
Your results will indicate whether or not your body is producing certain antibodies – Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA, Deamidated Gliadin IgA, Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG, Deamidated Gliadin IgG – that are linked to celiac disease. Note – only a healthcare provider can diagnose celiac disease by reviewing a patient’s medical history and symptoms and performing additional tests.
