Gluten Intolerance (Celiac Disease) Rapid Test (1 pc/box)

Gluten Intolerance Rapid Test

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder caused by an immune reaction to the gluten protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and some other grains. When a person with celiac disease consumes foods containing gluten, the body triggers an immune response that damages the lining of the small intestine.

As a result of the immune reaction to gluten, the absorptive capacity of the small intestine decreases, and nutrients are not properly absorbed. Over time, this can lead to nutrient deficiencies, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and other health problems. Symptoms can vary widely and may affect the digestive system, skin, joints, nervous system, and other organs.

People with celiac disease must follow a strict gluten-free diet, which excludes foods containing gluten. This includes wheat, barley, rye, and products made from them. It is important for individuals with celiac disease to carefully read food labels to avoid hidden sources of gluten.

Celiac disease is a common condition, and its exact cause is not fully understood. Genetic factors may also play a role in the development of the disease, and multiple family members may be affected. Diagnosis is usually made based on blood tests and intestinal biopsy.

Although celiac disease cannot be cured, following a strict gluten-free diet can eliminate symptoms and allow the small intestine to recover. It is important for people with celiac disease to regularly consult their doctor and dietitian to ensure proper nutrient intake and effective disease management.

A French-manufactured home-use gluten intolerance rapid test can assist in the detection of gluten intolerance.

Test Procedure

Please read the Instructions for Use carefully before performing the test.

Step 1

1. Open the pouch and remove the test cassette. Place it on a clean, flat surface.

4. Gently press the fingertip to form a large drop of blood.

Step 3

1. Hold the capillary tube horizontally and place it into the drop of blood until it is completely filled.

2. Place the filled capillary tube into the vial containing the sample dilution buffer and close it with the cap.

3. Mix the contents by turning the vial upside down several times until the blood in the capillary tube is fully mixed with the buffer solution.

4. Remove the cap again and use the pipette to collect the diluted sample by pressing the rubber bulb.

5. Hold the pipette vertically and place 3 drops of the diluted sample into the sample well (S) of the test cassette.

Step 4

1. Note the time and wait 5 minutes before reading the result.

2. Place the adhesive bandage on your finger.

Interpretation of results

Positive
Two lines appear, the control line (C) and the test line (T). One of the two lines may be lighter or darker than the other. You are likely to have celiac disease.

Negative
One line appears, the control line (C). The line may be light or dark. You are unlikely to have celiac disease.

Invalid
No control line (C) appears, or neither control (C) nor test line (T) appears. Your home test is inconclusive or invalid.
