About Anti Gliadin IgM
Anti Gliadin IgM completes the antibody panel used to investigate gluten sensitivity and celiac disease, and is sometimes checked in younger children whose immune systems respond differently to gluten exposure.
No fasting is required, and as with the other gliadin antibody tests, it is important to keep eating gluten normally before your sample is taken.
How to Prepare
- No fasting required.
- Keep eating gluten as usual before your test.
