Gluten blood test – none in Wellington

To diagnose gluten-sensitivity, the best test is the gluten antibody test: the AGA (Anti-Gliadin-Antibody), also known as the IgG-gliadin antibody.

I spoke at the gluten-free ans allergy show in Wellington over the weekend.  But,  I have not been able to find any medical laboratory in Wellington that offers the AGA (Anti-Gliadin-Antibody), also known as the IgG-gliadin antibody.

They only offer the DGP (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide antibody) which does not identify people with gluten sensitivity.

I will ask more people.  Aotea labs does not offer this test.  Cheers, Dr Rodney Ford.
