Find Clarity About Your Digestive Health with the tTG IgA Test
Are you tired of unexplained stomach pain, bloating, or fatigue that just won’t go away? Many South Africans struggle with digestive discomfort for years without understanding the cause. The Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Antibody IgA Test provides the answers you’ve been searching for, offering accurate detection of celiac disease – a condition that affects thousands of South Africans without proper diagnosis.
Understanding Your tTG IgA Test
This specialised blood test detects antibodies that your immune system produces when it reacts to gluten. When someone with celiac disease consumes gluten-containing foods, their body creates tTG antibodies that attack the intestinal lining. Our advanced Enzyme Immunoassay method precisely measures these antibodies, giving you reliable results you can trust for making important health decisions.
The test requires just 2 mL of serum with no special preparation needed, making it convenient and straightforward. Samples submitted by 9 am receive same-day reporting, so you don’t have to wait anxiously for answers.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you experience any of these persistent symptoms, this test could provide life-changing insights:
- Chronic diarrhoea or constipation that doesn’t respond to usual treatments
- Unexplained weight loss despite normal eating habits
- Persistent bloating, gas, or abdominal pain after meals
- Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Iron deficiency anaemia that doesn’t resolve with supplementation
- Family history of celiac disease or autoimmune conditions
- Skin rashes, joint pain, or neurological symptoms with digestive issues
Many patients in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban have found relief after getting tested and making appropriate dietary changes.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested for celiac disease isn’t just about managing symptoms – it’s about preventing serious long-term complications. Early detection through tTG IgA testing can help you:
- Prevent Nutritional Deficiencies: Untreated celiac disease can lead to malabsorption of vital nutrients, causing osteoporosis, anaemia, and other health issues
- Reduce Cancer Risk: Proper management significantly lowers the risk of intestinal lymphomas and other cancers associated with untreated celiac disease
- Improve Quality of Life: Many patients experience dramatic improvements in energy, mood, and overall wellbeing after diagnosis and treatment
- Protect Future Generations: Since celiac disease has genetic components, your diagnosis can help family members get tested earlier
Understanding Your Test Results
We understand that waiting for medical results can be stressful. Our team provides clear, easy-to-understand reports with guidance on next steps:
- Negative Result: Low levels of tTG antibodies suggest celiac disease is unlikely, though your doctor may recommend further testing if symptoms persist
- Positive Result: Elevated antibody levels indicate possible celiac disease, requiring consultation with a gastroenterologist for confirmation and treatment planning
- Borderline Results: Sometimes results fall in a grey area, requiring additional testing or monitoring
Regardless of your results, our healthcare professionals are available to discuss what they mean for your specific situation and guide you toward appropriate next steps.
