Gluten Sensitivity IgE Diagnostic Panel

This test detects IgA antibodies to endomysium, the tissue surrounding muscle fibers. The endomysium IgA test is highly specific for celiac disease, an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten consumption. A positive result strongly suggests celiac disease, especially when combined with tissue transglutaminase (tTG-IgA) testing. This test is used for screening and diagnosis of celiac disease in patients with suspected gluten sensitivity. A positive result typically warrants follow-up with intestinal biopsy for confirmation.

This test measures IgA antibodies against gliadin, a protein component of gluten. Your immune system produces these antibodies when exposed to gluten in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Elevated levels suggest an immune reaction to gluten in wheat, barley, and rye. This test helps diagnose celiac disease and monitor adherence to a gluten-free diet in diagnosed individuals.
