MediGoo Coeliac Test

Laboratory standard home test for coeliac disease

Coeliac disease is a common digestive condition where the small intestine becomes inflamed and unable to absorb nutrients. It is caused by an adverse reaction to gluten, a dietary protein that is found in 3 types of cereal; wheat, barley and rye. Foods that includes them you would need to avoid include;

• Pasta
• Cakes
• Breakfast cereals
• Most bread
• Some ready meals
• Beer

If you have coeliac disease and you eat gluten it can trigger symptoms such as;

• Diarrhoea
• Abdominal pain
• Indigestion
• Constipation
• Fatigue

Although there is no cure for coeliac disease by managing your diet and avoiding gluten can control the symptoms and prevent long term consequences. Even if you have the mildest or even non-existent symptoms it is still recommended you test for coeliac disease as continuing to consume gluten can lead to serious health complications.

Medigoo’s home testing kit for coeliac disease uses two painless swaps on the inside of the cheeks. You then send your samples in a prepaid envelope (included) and will receive your results by email within 3 weeks so you can make your changes straight away.
