Measures

IgG antibodies to deamidated gliadin peptide, a component of gluten.

Why it matters

One of the antibody tests used when investigating the immune response to gluten. It's typically ordered alongside tTG IgA rather than alone, as the two answer slightly different questions.

Before you collect

Keep eating gluten normally. Antibody levels fall when gluten is removed, so testing after starting a gluten-free diet can produce a result that reflects the diet rather than anything else. If you've already stopped, speak to your practitioner before testing.
