Gluten Sensor

About the test

Gluten intolerance, known as coeliac disease, is widespread in Europe. Gluten is a protein found in many foods. In some people, gluten triggers an immune reaction in the intestines that attempts to fight gluten as though it were a bacterial infection. The body’s reaction to gluten usually leads to a chronic condition that damages the small intestine and causes numerous symptoms such as diarrhoea, loss of appetite and weight loss. Based on certain genetic polymorphisms, Gluten Sensor indicates the risk of developing gluten intolerance. If the analysis shows that you are predisposed to developing gluten intolerance, the recommendation is to avoid foods containing gluten so as not to put yourself at risk of developing gluten intolerance.
