Gliadin

Gliadin intolerance is a condition in which individuals have difficulty digesting gliadin, a protein found in gluten-containing grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. This condition can lead to digestive discomfort. Unlike a gliadin allergy, which triggers an immune response and more severe reactions, gliadin intolerance primarily causes gastrointestinal symptoms after consuming gluten-containing foods.

Description

What is gliadin intolerance and how does it differ from gliadin allergies?

Gliadin intolerance involves the digestive system’s inability to properly process gliadin, resulting in discomfort and various symptoms. This is a non-immune response, unlike a gliadin allergy, which is an immune reaction to proteins in gluten, potentially causing severe symptoms like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Gliadin intolerance generally leads to milder, primarily digestive-focused symptoms and does not involve the immune system.

What are the common symptoms of gliadin intolerance?
  • Bloating and gas
  • Abdominal pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea
  • Indigestion
When should I consider getting a gliadin intolerance test?

If you consistently experience digestive discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, or diarrhea after consuming gluten-containing foods like bread, pasta, or baked goods, it may be wise to consider a test for gliadin intolerance. This is particularly important if these symptoms disrupt your daily activities or if the specific cause of your discomfort is unclear, as it could be indicative of other dietary sensitivities or health issues.

How can I manage and cope with gliadin intolerance in my daily life?

Managing gliadin intolerance involves avoiding or limiting gluten-containing grains and foods in your diet. Since wheat, barley, and rye are common sources of gluten, it’s important to be cautious when reading food labels and choosing gluten-free alternatives. Seek gluten-free grains and flours, such as rice, corn, or gluten-free oats. Consulting with a dietitian can help ensure a balanced gluten-free diet. Keeping a food diary can be beneficial in identifying other potential food intolerances and in tracking dietary adjustments.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
