When is the coeliac disease blood test package recommended?
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition that often causes vague symptoms — by testing for the most specific antibodies, the blood test package helps to shed light on the real cause of your complaints.
-
Persistent digestive problems
If you regularly experience bloating, a feeling of fullness or chronic diarrhoea, especially after eating cereals.
-
Iron deficiency and tiredness
If you have iron deficiency or anaemia of unknown origin, which may indicate poor absorption of nutrients.
-
Family history
Coeliac disease runs in families, so screening is especially recommended if it has already been diagnosed in a close family member.
-
Vague abdominal pain
If heartburn or abdominal discomfort keeps coming back and dietary changes do not bring lasting improvement.
-
Complaints over the age of 50
At this age, new digestive complaints should be taken particularly seriously.
-
Sudden weight loss
If you are losing weight although your appetite and diet have not changed significantly.
-
Bad breath and skin symptoms
Certain skin rashes — such as dermatitis herpetiformis — can be closely linked to coeliac disease.
-
Delayed development in childhood
If a child in the family shows delayed growth or recurrent diarrhoea.
A single blood sample, targeted antibody testing — and if the result is positive, every step up to tissue sampling is available with us.
This list is for information only and does not replace a specialist examination. Do not start a gluten-free diet before the test: antibodies can only be detected if the body is exposed to gluten. If you have any questions, call us: 06-1-413-2500 (H–P 9–17).
Why have your blood tests done with us?

Did you know?
Five questions and answers about the coeliac disease blood test package.
-
Did you know that coeliac disease can develop at any age?
It is not just a childhood disease: in many people the first symptoms appear after the age of 50, when the body can no longer compensate for the damage to the bowel.
-
Did you know that untreated coeliac disease may increase the risk of certain cancers?
With a gluten-free diet started in time, the lining of the bowel regenerates and the risks are reduced to a minimum.
-
Did you know that you should not start a diet before the lab test?
For antibodies to be detectable in the blood, the body must be exposed to gluten in the weeks before the test.
-
Did you know that the coeliac disease blood test package can also be paid for from your health fund account?
Like all our services, this one can also be conveniently paid for from your health fund savings.
-
Did you know that bloating and alternating bowel habits are among the most common symptoms?
If you experience these over a long period, coeliac screening is the first and most important diagnostic step.
