Biosynex Gluten Celiac Disease - Instant Home Test

What is being tested?

The BIOSYNEX Gluten Self-Test is a rapid immunological test for the preliminary assessment of possible celiac disease .
The test detects IgG antibodies against deamidated gliadin peptides (DGP) in capillary blood. These antibodies can occur in connection with a gluten-related autoimmune reaction .

The test serves as a diagnostic guide and does not replace a medical diagnosis.

Why can early clarification be beneficial?

Celiac disease often goes undetected for a long time because the symptoms can be nonspecific or develop gradually. Without proper diagnosis and dietary adjustments, untreated celiac disease can lead to long-term complications .

The self-test allows for a low-threshold initial assessment of whether further medical clarification might be advisable.

When is the test useful?

The test can be considered if symptoms repeatedly occur after consuming gluten-containing foods, for example:

• Abdominal pain
• Flatulence
• Diarrhea
• Skin reactions
• unintentional weight loss
• Signs of deficiencies

It is suitable as a screening test , especially if no medical examination has yet taken place.

Implementation and evaluation

The test is performed entirely at home and requires only a small drop of blood from the fingertip.
After applying the sample and the dilution buffer, the result is visually displayed within a few minutes .

Important information on how to conduct the test

• A gluten-free diet for several weeks or months can lead to a decrease in detectable antibodies.
• For the most reliable results, the test should be performed while consuming a gluten-containing diet .

Result and classification

• Positive result: Antibodies that may be associated with celiac disease were detected. Medical evaluation is recommended.
• Negative result: No corresponding antibodies could be detected. This does not rule out other forms of gluten sensitivity .

This test does not detect non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) . There is currently no specific laboratory test for this type of gluten reaction. More information about "non-celiac wheat sensitivity" can be found here .
