What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained digestive issues like bloating, gas, stomach discomfort, or irregular bowel movements after eating. It helps identify if gluten might be triggering an immune response in your body, even if you don't have celiac disease. Many people use this test when they suspect gluten-containing foods are causing their symptoms but want concrete evidence before making dietary changes.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your gluten IgG antibody levels mean for your digestive health and overall wellness. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary modifications, elimination strategies, or whether you should consider further testing for celiac disease. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your antibody levels over time using our trends feature to see how dietary changes are impacting your immune response.

What's included in this test?

This test measures Gluten (f79) IgG antibodies. This test measures IgG antibodies to gluten, which indicates whether your immune system is reacting to gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. Unlike celiac disease testing, IgG antibodies suggest a delayed sensitivity reaction that can cause digestive discomfort, bloating, fatigue, and other symptoms hours or days after eating gluten. This measurement helps you understand if gluten is a hidden trigger behind your ongoing health issues.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is valuable for anyone experiencing persistent digestive issues, unexplained bloating, fatigue, brain fog, or skin problems that might be food-related. It's especially useful if you've noticed symptoms seem worse after eating bread, pasta, or baked goods, but celiac testing came back negative. People considering an elimination diet often use this test to guide their dietary decisions with objective data.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms that suggest gluten sensitivity include bloating and gas after meals, stomach cramping or discomfort, irregular bowel movements (diarrhea or constipation), persistent fatigue even with adequate sleep, brain fog or difficulty concentrating, and unexplained headaches. Some people also experience skin issues, joint pain, or mood changes that improve when they avoid gluten-containing foods.

How can I naturally reduce gluten sensitivity symptoms?

Start by keeping a detailed food diary to identify patterns between gluten consumption and symptoms. Try an elimination diet by removing all gluten-containing foods for 3-4 weeks, then slowly reintroducing them while monitoring symptoms. Support your gut health with probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, and fermented vegetables, and consider digestive enzymes with meals. Focus on naturally gluten-free whole foods like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and gluten-free grains like quinoa and rice.

What is gluten and why does it cause problems for some people?

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye that gives bread its chewy texture. For some people, the immune system mistakenly identifies gluten as a threat and produces antibodies against it, leading to inflammation and various symptoms. This is different from celiac disease (an autoimmune condition) but can still cause significant discomfort and health issues that improve when gluten is removed from the diet.

What does a high gluten IgG level mean?

High IgG antibodies to gluten indicate your immune system is actively reacting to gluten proteins. This suggests you may have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, where gluten consumption triggers an inflammatory response causing digestive symptoms, fatigue, brain fog, or other issues. While not as severe as celiac disease, this sensitivity can significantly impact your quality of life and often improves dramatically when you follow a gluten-free diet.

How often should I retest my gluten sensitivity?

If you test positive for gluten IgG antibodies and eliminate gluten from your diet, consider retesting after 3-6 months to see if antibody levels have decreased, confirming that gluten was the trigger. If levels are high and you're implementing dietary changes, retesting every 6-12 months helps track your progress. Some people find their sensitivity improves over time with gut healing, while others need to maintain long-term dietary modifications.

What should I do if my gluten IgG is elevated?

If your results show elevated gluten antibodies, start by eliminating gluten-containing foods from your diet for at least 3-4 weeks and monitor how you feel. Focus on whole, naturally gluten-free foods and read labels carefully since gluten hides in many processed products. Work on healing your gut with bone broth, fermented foods, and anti-inflammatory foods. If symptoms persist despite dietary changes or you have severe reactions, consult with a gastroenterologist or registered dietitian who specializes in food sensitivities.
