SELFCHECK Gluten Sensitivity Test for Coeliac Disease

This tests for anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibidies, which is what your doctor would test for. Many other tests test for other things that are not appropriate in the diagnosis of coeluac disease. The test was easy to use with good instructions. The lance worked very well and the capillary tube worked fine- you just have to be patient and keep squeezing your finger (not the bulb). I would definitely recommend. I just wanted to check I didn't have coeliac disease before starting a gluten-free diet (you have to eat gluten for 6 weeks before doing this test, so didnt want to find the diet helped but then be unable to check for CD).

This product is nothing short of a complete waste of money. Firstly the prick of blood was no where near enough to fill the never filling pipette as it doesn't work 🗣🗣🗣....The major failing of this kit is the stupid pipette. All in all please avoid buying this as it's just not fit for purpose . Go to the chemist and get them to do it for you.

It was fairly east to use. A lot of people saying they couldn’t draw enough blood mine was pouring out. My tip is wrap a bit of tape around your finger to create a little pressure and to increase blood flow, it also prevent any pain from the prick. You will most defo draw enough blood. Mine come back negative but I realised i didn’t leave 40 secs between blood and solution so not sure if this will impact The result. I’m due to have an official blood test Soon and will know for sure with in the next week or so I was just so impatient. Has anyone done the test got negative and then positive from the doctors ?

First, make sure you're eating and have been eating gluten normally or this test absolutely won't work. The idea of stabbing my own finger was horrifying, but it surprisingly absolutely did not hurt. You also get two stabbers incase you mess up the first. Place the stabber on your finger pad, NOT the side. It doesn't hurt at all but you'll still be trying to wring your finger out of blood whilst collecting it in the weird pipette. I also recommend doing this with another person to assist. The process is a little complicated and between the counting seconds and squeezing blood out of your hand it you might mess it up. It's easy to do and use, it can just be a little complicating to read the instructions as the steps must be done exactly as written. However a really great test, definitely saves waiting a week for GP results and the GP recognises it as a legitimate test which is great. Would definitely use others from this range.

Easy to use test, however i would also get a GP test done to double check as this test does state may not be accurate on some occasions, i myself am coeliac and wanted family member to check.

The test arrived on the next day of the order, very easy to use and the results show within minutes. There was no doubt on the result, it was negative in my case. I am not able to judge on the accuracy but have no reason to think it wasn’t accurate. It gave me the peace of mind to know that gluten intolerance is not an issue for me, despite being genetically highly predisposed. In case of a positive result, I would have followed up with my GP. In any case, I found the test very helpful and inexpensive.

Easy enough to use if you read the instructions. Only real problem is i don't draw enough blood but managed to get 80percent of recommended blood on the lancet. I don't think you probably need 100per cent as there seems enough to me to do its job. The result got redder for negative during the time to wait, a very clear negative. I think the test is accurate. As i wouldn't say i have a clear problem with Gluten. It was just something i wanted to rule out for my own mind as i have Chronic Fatigue and had a grandad who was celiac.

One of the lancets didn’t work and one alone wasn’t enough to draw enough blood using the flimsy pipette despite following instructions. Unable to complete test. Waste of money.
