Immuno Gliadin (IgA & IgG) measures antibodies directed against gliadin, a protein component of gluten, using a venous blood sample. Both IgA and IgG antibody classes are assessed to provide a broader view of immune responses associated with gluten exposure.

Clinically, this test may be useful when individuals present with gastrointestinal, systemic or extra-intestinal symptoms that raise consideration of gluten-related immune activity. Anti-gliadin antibodies are often evaluated as part of broader investigations into gluten sensitivity or coeliac disease-related immune responses, alongside other serological markers.

Practitioners typically interpret results in conjunction with symptom history, dietary intake, family history and other relevant laboratory findings. When reviewed in context, the test can support informed discussions with clients about gluten exposure, immune responses and symptom patterns over time.
