The Celiac Disease Comprehensive test assesses for the presence of specific antibodies associated with celiac disease, an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten. This test includes measurements of IgA and IgG antibodies, as well as tissue transglutaminase antibodies. Understanding your antibody levels can help diagnose celiac disease and guide dietary changes for managing symptoms. This test is essential for individuals experiencing digestive issues or suspected gluten intolerance.
