coeliac disease, irritable bowel syndrome and gluten intolerance

Home test kit for gluten sensitivityA gluten free diet could be your route back to health and vitality - but first get a reliable diagnosis
Feeling
tired, diarrhoea, bloating, wind, urgency to use the toilet
after eating, nausea,
mouth ulcers, constipation, headaches,
depression, bone and joint pain, weight loss, anaemia.... the list goes
on and could mean you have IBS but any one of these symptoms could also
mean that you have a sensitivity to gluten known as coeliac disease.
The Home Celiac Test kit is simple to use, safe, accurate and will give you a result in 5 minutes.
Around
1 in 10 people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms could
actually have coeliac disease - a specific type of
autoimmune response to gluten found in wheat, barley and rye often
confused with gluten intolerance.
Once
diagnosed, coeliac disease is treated with a strict gluten free diet
and most people regain their health and vitality within weeks after
years of suffering.
This simple and clinically proven home test
kit will tell you in just 5 minutes whether you could have
coeliac
disease or not.

Five
good reasons why you shouldn't ignore your symptoms... or those of your
relatives
- It is important that diagnosis is made
early as left untreated, coeliac disease can increase the risks of infertility, osteoporosis and
cancer (has anyone in your family suffered from
these diseases? - you may be at risk too)
- 4 out 5 people with coeliac disease don't
know that they have the disease or are at risk from the complications
- Half a million people in the UK are
likely to have coeliac disease but have not yet been accurately
diagnosed
- Around 1 in 10 people have been incorrectly diagnosed
by their doctor as having IBS but actually have coeliac disease
- If you have coeliac disease there is a
high chance (1 in 10) that your
children or parents also have coeliac disease
frequently asked questions
Is the test medically recognised?
In
2006 and 2007 this very same home coeliac test was used to test MPs at
the House of Commons as part of an awareness raising event by Coeliac
UK, a charity providing support and advice for people diagnosed with
coeliac disease. The test kit uses the same technology as hospital
laboratories but has been simplified so that it is easy and reliable to
use by anyone at home.
How accurate is the test?
A report in the British Medical Journal
which studied 2690 children and 120 adults showed that the finger prick
blood test for coeliac disease was as accurate as hospital laboratory
tests (Korponay-Szabo et al. BMJ 2007;335;1244-1247).
Why an early diagnosis is essential
The importance of an early
diagnosis of coeliac disease cannot be over-stressed. Left
undiagnosed and untreated, coeliac disease
carries
a higher risk of developing osteoporosis, infertility and bowel cancer
later on in life.
What is gluten?
Gluten
is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye - some
people are also sensitive to oats but the good news is that once you
have been diagnosed you can lead a healthy, normal life by avoiding
gluten in your diet and there is a lot of support available from
organisations such as Coeliac UK.
Who developed the test?
Developed by medical scientists and doctors in Finland, a world centre
of expertise for
coeliac disease, the Coeliac Test is clinically proven to give
results as accurate as hospital laboratory tests.
How does the test work?
The test detects high levels of IgA
anti-transglutaminase antibodies from a simple finger prick blood spot.
This is an established blood test for
coeliac disease which has also been shown to give comparable results to
intestinal biopsy and uses exactly the same materials found in tests
used by doctors and laboratories.
Coeliac Test Rated 10/10 by Daily Mail
"This
test is quite valid - the gold standard for 99 per cent of coeliac
patients is the presence of these antibodies," says Tom MacDonald,
professor of immunology at Bart's and the London University medical
schools. "The test is useful because GPs sometimes fail to diagnose
coeliac properly and the longer it is left untreated the worse it gets
- leading to complications such as anaemia. If you suspect a problem
this is a good way to test yourself, though see your GP to confirm it.
"Coeliac disease is a condition which can be cured with a gluten-free
diet, so a person with a positive result can then take immediate
action."
Reliability Guaranteed
This product
is CE marked as an In Vitro Diagnostic Device for home use according to
European IVD directive 98/79EC. Which means that this home test meets
or exceeds the standards required for medical tests used in hospital
laboratories.
Are you currently gluten free?
If you have been completely
avoiding all wheat, barley and rye products as part of a strict gluten
free diet for longer than six weeks there is a
chance that you may get a false negative result. This applies to all
blood tests for coeliac disease and
intestinal
biopsy. This is because a strict gluten free diet allows the intestine
to heal and the antibody levels to return to undetectable levels.
