Why To Buy

This tTG, IgA test helps identify celiac disease, which can cause your symptoms like abdominal pain, anemia, bloating, diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss by detecting antibodies related to gluten intolerance.

Finding the cause(s) of:

  • Abdominal pain: This test can help identify celiac disease, a condition where gluten causes inflammation and damage to the small intestine, leading to abdominal pain.
  • Anemia: Celiac disease identified by this test can impair nutrient absorption, including iron, leading to anemia.
  • Bloating: This test can help detect celiac disease, which often causes bloating due to inflammation and malabsorption in the intestines.
  • Diarrhea: This test helps identify celiac disease, a common cause of chronic diarrhea due to intestinal damage from gluten.
  • Fatigue: This test can help identify celiac disease, which often leads to fatigue due to malabsorption and inflammation.
  • Weight loss: This test can help identify celiac disease, which can cause weight loss due to poor nutrient absorption and intestinal damage.
