Can Zöliakie Test help with menopause?

A celiac test (e.g., HLA-DQ2/DQ8 or tTG-IgA) can be useful during menopause if unexplained gastrointestinal issues, fatigue, or bone loss are present. Undiagnosed celiac disease can cause malabsorption of iron, vitamin D, and calcium, potentially worsening menopause-related symptoms like fatigue and osteoporosis. However, the test is not a menopause diagnostic tool and should not replace hormone testing (FSH, estradiol). Evidence linking celiac disease directly to menopause is weak; it is more about possible comorbidity. A genetic test indicates predisposition only, not active disease. If celiac is suspected, clinical evaluation by a physician is necessary.
