Gluten intolerance (Coeliac disease), known as sprue in adults, is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine, when the immune system attacks the body‘s own tissues. The common symptoms of gluten intolerance include bloating and diarrhea, caused by a reaction to a gluten protein found in many foods. The following symptoms could be also a sign of gluten intolerance: weight loss, malnutrition and skin disorders. Screen Test Celiachia is intended as an aid in the detection of gluten intolerance. Screen Test Celiachia as an immunochromatographic rapid test detects the presence of anti-tTG IgA antibodies in whole blood. If the blood sample contains anti-tTG IgA antibodies, these will bind with the colloidal gold labelled anti-IgA antibodies and the tTG (derived from the lysis of red blood cells in the dilution buffer). tTG will then bind the complex to the stationary protein line (test line) forming a visible, red line. The test has also a control system with a control line. The test result must be confi rmed by a physician with further recommendation to maintain a gluten-free diet. An explanation of how to read and interpret the test result is given in this instruction pamphlet. Therefore, it is important to fully understand the entire instruction pamphlet before performing the test.
