    Why To Buy

    This t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA test helps identify celiac disease, a condition where your body reacts to gluten, which can cause the symptoms you're experiencing.

    Finding the cause(s) of:

    • Abdominal pain: Elevated tTG IgA levels can indicate celiac disease, a common cause of abdominal pain.
    • Anemia: Celiac disease can impair nutrient absorption, leading to deficiencies like iron deficiency anemia.
    • Bloating: Inflammation and malabsorption caused by celiac disease often lead to bloating after eating.
    • Diarrhea: Damage to the small intestine from celiac disease frequently causes chronic diarrhea.
    • Fatigue: Nutrient deficiencies and chronic inflammation associated with celiac disease can cause significant fatigue.
    • Weight loss: Malabsorption of nutrients due to celiac disease can lead to unexplained weight loss.
