About Celiac Disease:

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten. It damages the small intestine lining, leading to villous atrophy and reduced absorption of vital nutrients, including vitamins (B12, B6, Folate, D3) and minerals (iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium).

A strict gluten-free diet is essential only for individuals with confirmed celiac disease. In other gluten-related conditions like Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS), reduction or careful monitoring of gluten intake may be advised.

Symptoms of celiac disease may include:

• Diarrhea or alternating with constipation

• Bloating and abdominal discomfort

• Loss of appetite, weight loss

• Oily or foul-smelling stools

• Osteopenia or osteoporosis

• Iron-deficiency anemia

• Delayed growth or development

• Mouth ulcers, abdominal pain, fatigue

Importantly, 20% of individuals with celiac disease may remain asymptomatic.

What’s in the box:

• Test strip

• Blood collection device
