What to watch with Zöliakie Test and gut health?

When considering a celiac test (e.g., HLA-DQ2/DQ8) and gut health, be cautious: a genetic risk marker alone does not diagnose active celiac disease – it only indicates predisposition. Diagnosis requires serology (tTG-IgA) and duodenal biopsy. MyBody-X does not offer such a combined test. For gut health, stool tests for inflammation (e.g., calprotectin) or microbiome analysis are available, but their clinical utility is often unclear. Many commercial tests overstate the relevance of single markers. Always consult a gastroenterologist before making dietary or therapeutic changes based on home tests. A positive genetic result without symptoms does not justify a gluten-free diet.
