Coeliac Disease Test Kit Wheat Gluten Intolerance Tests

Basics Celiac disease is a common digestive condition where the small intestine becomes inflamed and unable to absorb nutrients. It affects about 1% of the Global population, with experts warning that the actual amount of people affected will be much higher because milder cases may go undiagnosed or be misdiagnosed as other digestive conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Reported cases of celiac disease are two to three times higher in women than men and it can develop at any age. Celiac disease is caused by an adverse reaction to gluten. What foods contain gluten? Gluten is a dietary protein found in any food that contains wheat, barley and rye, including pasta, cakes, bread, breakfast cereal and beer. What are the symptoms of coeliac disease? Eating foods containing gluten can trigger a range of gut-related symptoms, such as diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bloating and flatulence (passing wind), indigestion and constipation. It can also cause a number of more general symptoms, including fatigue, unexpected weight loss and an itchy rash. Why do I need this test? There is no cure for coeliac disease, but switching to a gluten-free diet should help control symptoms and prevent the long-term consequences of the condition. Even if you have non-existent or mild symptoms, changing your diet is still recommended because continuing to eat gluten can lead to serious complications. Therefore, it is important to get a diagnosis so that you can make the necessary changes. What's included in the box?
