Test for celiac disease - genetic
Digestive problems such as loss of appetite, abdominal discomfort, nausea, straining to vomit, bloating, and loud bowel movements can be overlooked for some time. However, with more frequent occurrence and in connection with other symptoms (occasional diarrhea or constipation), they may indicate a hitherto hidden serious digestive disorder - celiac disease. It is far from manifesting itself only in childhood, but more and more often we come across it only in adulthood.

Test for celiac disease - genetic
What interests you about the Genetic test for celiac disease?
How are tests for celiac disease performed?
The genetic test for celiac disease tests specific HLA genes (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8) from the blood, associated with the occurrence of the disease. The serological test for gluten intolerance tests the blood for antibodies against tissue transglutaminase and deamidated gliadin peptide.
How do I know if I have celiac disease?
At Unilabs, you can undergo a genetic test for celiac disease, which tests for specific HLA genes (DQ2 and DQ8) that are associated with the disease. You can also undergo a serological test for gluten intolerance, which tests for IgA and IgG antibodies.
When can celiac disease manifest?
Celiac disease can occur at any age and manifests itself in different ways. In children under 3 years of age, the typical manifestation is the so-called malabsorption syndrome, i.e. insufficient absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. In older children, intestinal symptoms are less noticeable and in adulthood, extraintestinal symptoms come to the fore (6).
What does celiac disease stool look like?
Celiac disease stool is often light yellow, bulky, greasy, and foul-smelling, all due to undigested fats and food debris. It is difficult to pass and the urge to defecate occurs 3 to 4 times a day.
How much do celiac disease tests cost?
At Unilabs, we offer a genetic test for celiac disease from blood for 80 euros. We offer a serological test for celiac disease (gluten intolerance) from blood for 50,70 euros.
How does gluten intolerance manifest itself?
Gluten intolerance (also celiac disease) is an autoimmune disease in which the body reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. Typical symptoms include diarrhea or constipation, bloating, abdominal pain, intestinal bleeding, but also fatigue, nervousness, headache or weight loss due to nutrient deficiencies.
What is the difference between celiac disease and gluten allergy?
Gluten (wheat) allergy is an excessive immune system reaction to gluten mediated by IgE or non-IgE antibodies and is associated with rapidly occurring unpleasant symptoms after consuming a specific type of food containing gluten, e.g. wheat, but not other gluten grains. Celiac disease (gluten intolerance) is an autoimmune disease, the immune system reacts abnormally to gluten and causes inflammation and damage to the small intestine.
How to detect gluten intolerance?
The easiest and most effective way is to undergo a gluten intolerance test, both genetic and serological, in which we will determine both the hereditary predisposition to the development of the disease, as well as the (ab)presence of antibodies against the gluten-digesting enzyme. You will receive the test result within 15 working days.
What does celiac disease stool look like?
The symptoms of celiac disease are generally variable and there is no clear definition of a typical “celiac” stool. Some patients may also have constipation, but diarrhea is more common, when the stool is watery and loose, may also be oily and bulky, is difficult to flush, and may have an unpleasant odor.
How do I know if I have gluten intolerance?
At Unilabs, we have prepared for you a genetic and a serological test for gluten intolerance, which will reveal whether a hereditary predisposition or the presence of antibodies in the serum is behind long-lasting digestive problems.
