How are Zöliakie Test and Fruchtbarkeit related?

A celiac test (e.g., IgA-tTG antibodies or HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genotyping) and fertility are indirectly linked: untreated celiac disease can impair fertility in both women and men due to chronic inflammation and nutrient malabsorption (iron, folate, zinc). Studies indicate that a gluten-free diet can improve fertility in celiac patients. However, the test itself is not a fertility test—it only identifies celiac risk or presence. Evidence comes from observational studies and clinical practice, not large RCTs. Caveat: a positive genetic test (HLA) does not confirm celiac disease; diagnosis requires duodenal biopsy. For fertility issues, medical evaluation is essential, not just a home test. MyBody-X may offer a celiac genetic test, but its relevance to fertility is indirect and should be interpreted cautiously.
