When using a celiac test in the context of weight loss, watch for: the test (typically tTG-IgA) requires ongoing gluten consumption to be accurate – a gluten-free diet before testing can cause false negatives. Celiac disease can cause unintended weight loss due to malabsorption, but after diagnosis and a gluten-free diet, many patients gain weight, sometimes excessively. The test alone does not predict weight loss success; it is a diagnostic tool. MyBody-X does not offer a dedicated celiac test; their nutrient deficiency test may help identify related deficiencies (e.g., iron, vitamin D) common in untreated celiac disease. Evidence is based on clinical practice, not from the provided context. Caveat: Suspected celiac disease requires medical evaluation and duodenal biopsy as the gold standard.
