With Quicktest \u003cstrong\u003eGluten test\u003c\/strong\u003e you can find out if you suffer from gluten intolerance. Our gluten test comes with a home testing kit and is done by taking blood from a fingertip prick. In \u003cstrong\u003egluten intolerance \u003c\/strong\u003eElevated levels of IgA antibodies against tissue transglutaminase are most often seen. Our gluten test indicates anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies in the blood. Note: If you have excluded gluten from your diet when taking the test, eat a gluten-free diet, there is a risk that the test result will be negative even though gluten intolerance is present. If you eat a gluten-free diet, it is recommended to eat at least one meal a day for 14 days before taking the test to get a more reliable test result.\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does gluten intolerance mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\nAt \u003cstrong\u003eCeliac disease\u003c\/strong\u003e, also called \u003cstrong\u003eGluten intolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e, the body's immune system is activated when you eat gluten and attacks the gluten in the intestine. When gluten proteins, which are found in wheat, rye and barley, reach the small intestine, an autoimmune reaction is triggered. This causes the immune system to attack the villi on the lining of the small intestine, which becomes inflamed. If the small intestine is exposed to gluten for a long time, the inflammation becomes so severe that the intestine has difficulty absorbing nutrients. The body then suffers from nutritional deficiencies.\u003cstrong\u003e Untreated celiac disease therefore increases the risk of complications such as iron, vitamin and trace metal deficiencies.\u003c\/strong\u003e.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eGluten intolerance\/celiac disease\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ecan affect both children and adults.\u003c\/strong\u003e The disease occurs and debuts in all age groups, young and old. Today it is estimated that almost three percent of the Swedish population suffers from celiac disease and at the same time an increase is seen in society. Currently, the only treatment for gluten intolerance is a strict gluten-free diet.\n\u003ch2 class=\"entry-title\"\u003eCommon symptoms of gluten intolerance?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe most common symptom of gluten intolerance is stomach discomfort such as gas, diarrhea, bloating, constipation, weight loss, and nausea. \u003c\/strong\u003eBut celiac disease can also cause other symptoms, which may not be as obvious, and they can vary greatly between different people.\u003cstrong\u003e Diffuse symptoms may include fatigue, depression, mouth blisters, skin rashes\/eczema, and joint and bone pain.\u003c\/strong\u003e In some cases, symptoms of gluten intolerance can also manifest themselves in delayed growth in children.\n\n \n\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication information\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nFact-checked 2025-02-07 by\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.quicktest.se\/om-oss\/\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLeg Doctor Fredrik Lönnqvist\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLeg Nurse\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Quicktest Sverige","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57369187156352,"sku":"GLU307","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/9199\/2448\/files\/quicktest_glutentest_v2.webp?v=1770665924","url":"https:\/\/quicktest.se\/en-be\/products\/gluten-test-1","provider":"Quicktest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
