Selfcheck Gluten Sensitivity Test

This test is not suitable for children less than 6 years old.

Some self-testing kits check for both IgG and IgA antibodies. Tests for IgA antibodies, like the SELFCHECK test, are more specific with fewer false positive results. Although IgA tTG tests are regarded as the gold standard for coeliac disease screening, around 1 in 500 people have an IgA deficiency which could give a false negative result.(1)

The self-test kit is easy to use at home, requiring only a small finger-prick blood sample to perform the test and gives a reliable result in 15 minutes. The test is CE certified and registered with MHRA.

How the test works

Just like laboratory tests, the SELFCHECK test detects an established biomarker for the diagnosis of coeliac disease called tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies (tTG IgA), from a finger-prick drop of blood.

Most people find the test easy to use, and contains everything you need to safely test at home, and get a reliable result in minutes. You can contact our professional, health check experts if you need help to use your test or interpret your results.

Accuracy of the test

• >97% agreement with laboratory tests for tTG IgA
• results in 15 minutes 

Your result is easy to read;

• one line in the test cassette window means a negative result and no tTG IgA antibodies have been detected, it is unlikely that you have coeliac disease. People with IgA antibody deficiency may also give a negative result.
• two lines in the test cassette window indicates a positive result and that a high level of tTG IgA antibodies are present, and it is likely that you have coeliac disease.
