Biocard™ Celiac Test
How does it work?
The Biocard™ Celiac
Test is an accurate finger tip blood test. It
detects Coeliac Disease associated IgA auto-antibodies
against Transglutaminase Enzymes, which completely and
exactly correlate with the disease.
The test procedure only takes
between 5 and 10 minutes.
The test performance has been
studied at the University of Tampere, Finland, by
comparing the results to biopsy proven clinical
diagnosis.
The Biocard™ Celiac
Test can also be used to monitor the effectiveness
of a gluten-free diet by re-testing after 3 months.
The Biocard™ Celiac
Test is as accurate as tests performed in pathology
laboratories and is safe and simple to use.
Performing
the Biocard™ Celiac Test
If you get a
positive result
Consult your medical practitioner
- it is essential that you continue with a normal diet
until you have the diagnosis confirmed by a medical
practitioner, ie. DO NOT exclude gluten from your diet.
If you get a
negative result
You could save yourself the
expense and inconvenience of an unnecessary gluten free
diet. However, always seek help from your medical
practitioner if your symptoms persist as there may be
another reason for your symptoms.
Whether your result is positive
or negative, you will be far more informed as to the
cause of your symptoms after taking the test.
