No! This test will see if you have HLA-DQ2, HLA-DQ8, and DQA1*05. These are the 3 HLA gene markers that determine if have the potential to get celiac in your lifetime. They will not change or vary based on your intake of gluten.

No, this is not a diagnostic test. Many people have a positive result and never get celiac disease. A positive result is necessary to develop celiac disease – it means you could have celiac disease now or develop it in your lifetime. If you have symptoms of celiac disease and a positive test result, it is important to work with a healthcare provider to determine your diagnosis.

If your HLA markers are negative, then it's very unlikely for you to develop celiac disease. Negative results rule out celiac disease with 99% confidence.

No, these are different tests. Our HLA celiac risk gene test assesses whether you have risk of current celiac disease or developing it in your lifetime. A tTG-IgA antibody test for celiac disease is a screening blood test with limitations that are important to understand. Biopsy during an endoscopy exam remain the gold standard for celiac disease diagnosis.
