Transglutaminase IgA Stool Test Kit

Measures transglutaminase IgA in stool — an antibody associated with the immune response to gluten.

What this test measures

Transglutaminase IgA antibody in a single stool sample.

Why these markers matter

Transglutaminase IgA is an antibody the immune system produces in response to gluten in some people. It's more commonly measured in blood; the stool version looks at the same antibody at the level of the gut itself. Worth knowing before you order: antibody testing is affected by whether you're currently eating gluten. Testing after removing gluten from the diet can produce a result that reflects the diet rather than the underlying picture.

What you get

Kit posted to you with instructions and return packaging. Results in your private dashboard, typically within about a week.

Before you collect

Keep eating gluten normally unless your practitioner has told you otherwise. Removing it beforehand makes the result difficult to interpret.

Who this suits

People investigating gluten-related symptoms with a practitioner.
