Gluten sensitivity and celiac disease are two conditions that are caused due to the body's inability to digest gluten protein found in wheat and related grains. These conditions can lead to various symptoms that can impact the quality of life. The Antigliadin IgG test is a reliable blood test that can help in detecting the presence of IgG antibodies against the gliadin protein found in wheat and related grains.

The healthcare provider will then discuss the results with the patient and provide further guidance on treatment options if necessary.
