Celiac dx : Gliadin is a protein found within gluten. Its presence is what triggers the formation of the IgA and igb anti-gliadin antibodies. The gliadin IgA test is one tool your doctor uses to find out if you are gluten-intolerant. The test analyzes the serum of your blood using blood drawn from a vein in your arm. The blood test is virtually painless, though you may develop a small bruise at the site whe.
