What is the test for gluten intolerance or just sensitivty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood test: The most concise way to make the diagnosis is a small bowel endoscopy with biopsies taken to examine the histology under the microscope. Tissue transglutaminase (ttg) and antiendomysial antibodies are two sensitive blood tests that also will help confirm the diagnosis.
