What is Anti Gliadin IgG?
This blood test measures IgG antibodies against gliadin, a protein found in gluten. It is often used in conjunction with IgA tests, particularly for individuals who may have an IgA deficiency.
Why is this test important?
Elevated IgG levels can indicate an immune response to gluten and may suggest celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. This test is particularly useful for diagnosing celiac disease in patients who cannot produce IgA antibodies, providing a more complete diagnostic picture.
How to Prepare
It's important to be consuming a gluten-containing diet for several weeks before the test for accurate results. Do not start a gluten-free diet before the test unless specifically advised by your doctor.
