A celiac test (antibody or genetic) can indirectly help with fatigue if undiagnosed celiac disease is the root cause. Celiac disease often causes chronic fatigue due to intestinal inflammation and malabsorption of iron, vitamin B12, and folate. Identifying celiac disease through testing allows for a gluten-free diet, which frequently improves energy levels. However, genetic testing (HLA-DQA1/DQB1) can only rule out celiac disease, not confirm it. Diagnosis requires positive serology (tTG-IgA) and duodenal biopsy. Furthermore, fatigue has many other causes (thyroid disorders, iron deficiency, sleep issues, stress). A positive test does not guarantee that fatigue is solely due to celiac disease. The test is a useful screening step but not a standalone solution. Evidence: strong clinical data linking celiac disease to fatigue.
