Who it's for

When your gut isn't right

Persistent digestive symptoms are common and often have a clear, treatable cause. This panel is a sensible first step if you recognise any of these.

Ongoing gut symptoms

Chronic bloating, abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea or constipation that won't settle.

Unexplained low iron

Coeliac disease is a common hidden cause of iron deficiency anaemia.

Family history of coeliac

First-degree relatives of someone with coeliac disease have around a 10% risk.

Heartburn or ulcers

Dyspepsia, reflux or a history of peptic ulcer disease linked to H. pylori.

Other autoimmune conditions

Coeliac disease is more common in type 1 diabetes and autoimmune thyroid disease.

Before going gluten-free

Coeliac testing is only accurate while you're still eating gluten — test first.

What we check

3 markers across 4 areas

This panel screens for the two most common, treatable causes of persistent gut symptoms — in one blood draw.

Coeliac screen

Tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) is the primary NICE-recommended coeliac screening test.

tTG-IgA

IgA check

Total IgA is measured to make sure a coeliac result isn't falsely negative.

Total IgA

H. pylori

Antibodies to Helicobacter pylori, the bacterium behind most peptic ulcers.

H. pylori

Clear next steps

A clinician interprets the results and advises whether endoscopy or treatment is sensible.

Stomach & ulcers

Helicobacter pylori Antibody

A digestive health panel measuring anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA), total IgA (to exclude IgA deficiency causing a false-negative coeliac result) and H. pylori antibodies. Coeliac testing is only reliable while you are still eating gluten. This is a screening panel and does not replace a clinical diagnosis or endoscopy — every result is reviewed by a clinician.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

What does this digestive health test screen for?
It screens for two of the most common, treatable causes of persistent gut symptoms: coeliac disease (using tissue transglutaminase IgA, with total IgA to avoid false negatives) and Helicobacter pylori infection. A clinician reviews your results and can help identify or rule out these causes and advise on next steps.
Do I need to keep eating gluten before a coeliac test?
Yes — this is important. Coeliac blood tests are only reliable while you are still eating gluten regularly. If you cut gluten out beforehand, the test can come back falsely negative. Keep eating your normal diet until after the blood draw.
Do I need to fast before this blood test?
No fasting is required for the digestive health panel.
How long do results take?
We process your sample promptly and contact you as soon as your clinician-reviewed results are ready — turnaround varies by test. Every result is reviewed by a clinician who explains anything abnormal and the sensible next steps.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly online or by calling 0121 387 3727. Same-week appointments are available 7 days a week, 8am to 8pm.

Understanding your Digestive Health results

Each result in your Digestive Health is reviewed by a clinician before release. Below is a plain-English guide to the key markers included in this panel.

Key Biomarkers

This panel assesses the key markers relevant to digestive health. Each result is reviewed by a clinician who will flag any values outside the expected range for your age and sex.

Reference Ranges

Reference intervals are population-derived and should be interpreted alongside your symptoms and clinical history — a result within range does not always exclude pathology, and a mildly out-of-range result may be clinically insignificant in isolation.

Reference ranges vary between laboratories and are influenced by age, sex, and other individual factors. This information is for educational purposes only and does not replace a clinical consultation. The Vesey reviews every result before it is released to you.
