The SELFCHECK Gluten Sensitivity Test can help you find out in 10 minutes whether your symptoms, similar to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), could be due to coeliac (celiac) disease. Coeliac disease is relatively common, affecting around 1 in 100 people in the UK. Coeliac disease is not a wheat allergy, or gluten intolerance, but is a type of gluten sensitivity that is frequently misdiagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
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 10 minutes. The test is CE certified and registered with MHRA.
Symptoms of coeliac disease
Symptoms can vary depending on the severity of the condition, and may include digestive issues like stomach pain, bloating, constipation or diarrhoea, fatigue, joint and muscle pain, mouth sores, headaches, depression and anxiety.
If you have untreated coeliac disease, you're also more likely to develop lactose intolerance, where your body lacks the enzyme needed to digest the natural sugar (lactose) found in dairy products. Lactose intolerance can also cause symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort.
