Gluten self-test

The Biosynex Gluten Self-test allows you to determine at home, quickly and safely whether you are likely to have celiac disease. If this is the case, consult your doctor for a definitive diagnosis and take the appropriate measures.

Following a gluten-free diet for 1-3 months prior to the test is likely to lead to the disappearance of celiac-specific antibodies and may interfere with the positivity of the test. We therefore recommend using Biosynex Gluten Autotest in the context of a gluten-containing diet to give a reliable result.

The Biosynex Gluten Self-test only detects the presence in your blood of anti-deamidated gliadin antibodies characteristic of celiac disease. Other types of gluten hypersensitivity exist with symptoms suggestive of functional digestive disorders and/or allergic manifestations in subjects not diagnosed with celiac disease. If your symptoms persist as part of a gluten-free diet despite a NEGATIVE result of the BIOSYNEX Gluten Self-test, consult your doctor.

There is no contraindication to the use of the Gluten Self-Test in children of any age. However, if the child is too young, we recommend that the child be referred to his or her doctor.

Celiac disease and gluten intolerance are synonymous. However, scientists recommend that the term ‘gluten intolerance’ should no longer be used as it is too often mistaken for all patients who cannot tolerate gluten. However, we know that some people feel better when they eliminate gluten from their diet without having antibodies against the gluten protein in their body. In this case we talk about gluten hypersensitivity.

The gluten self-test looks for IgG antibodies against Gliadin (GDP: Gliadin deamide peptide): the aim is to find out whether this protein is present by taking a micro drop of blood.

As with any self-test, any patient with a positive result should be referred to a doctor who will prescribe a confirmatory laboratory test as recommended in the instructions for use. Our self-test provides a diagnostic orientation on a suspicion of celiac disease or not, it comes into action in first intention and in no case in substitution of a complete course of screening, confirmation and management of this pathology.

Our self-test is an additional tool to facilitate access to the diagnosis of celiac disease, which is currently both under-diagnosed and sometimes self-diagnosed without objective basis.

The test is made in France with the OFG (Origin France Guaranteed label).

No, no test can detects them.

Today, a person is considered NCGS if he or she does not suffer from intolerance or allergy to gluten (or wheat to be precise), but experiences an improvement in his or her state of health following the elimination of this element from the diet. The causes and the very existence of this syndrome are still very much debated. There is no medical test that can formally establish a diagnosis, and scientists are struggling to gather solid evidence that gluten is responsible.

Removing gluten from the diet is a very restrictive and time-consuming process. In some instances, it can lead to nutritional deficiencies in the case of indiscriminate self-restriction.
