IgG-gliadin antibodies tests are not readily available from most labs in NZ and Australia. If you cannot get this test done (and celiac disease has been excluded by the other blood tests – tTG and DGP). Then, it is worthwhile trying out a gluten-free diet to see if you feel heaps better.
It is my experience that those who go ahead and have the IgG-gliadin blood tests (if you can get it) take the gluten sensitivity issue quite seriously. They will then commit to a stricter gluten-free diet. They are more likely to get well. If you are not fully committed to gluten free, and still have some gluten, then you may not find the full benefits of gluten-free diet. Cheers, Dr Rodney Ford.
