    Biocard Celiac Disease At Home Test Kit by 2GPharma Inc.

    Biocard Celiac Disease At Home Test Kit by 2GPharma Inc. - A simple at-home test for celiac disease
    Caption: A simple at-home test for celiac disease

    Celiac.com 10/08/2010 - Finally a reliable, simple, affordable and very rapid test for the detection of celiac disease—and it can be done within the comfort of your own home!

    The new Biocard Celiac Test from 2GPharma Inc. can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of celiac disease, although confirmation can only be done by a medical doctor.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    The Biocard Celiac Test is a home test for the detection of celiac disease-associated IgA antibodies to transglutaminase from a fingertip blood sample that can be obtained hygienically via a small, sterile lancet that is contained within the Biocard Celiac Test kit.

    Test results can be read within 10 minutes. The sampling is practically painless and all materials required for the test are included along with fool proof step by step instructions on how to perform the test (although it is important to read the instructions fully before you use the kit). The results are easy to read and have a 93% accuracy. 

    I decided to use the Biocard Celiac Test on my husband and the entire procedure took less than 2 minutes and the results were received within 10 minutes.  Luckily, he did not carry the antibodies for celiac disease at this time.

    You must NOT be gluten-free for about 2 months prior to the test, or it will likely be false negative.

    My blood test was negative, and I was later diagnosed celiac. Note the accuracy of the test is 93%, which is in actually quite low. Plus you can be celiac without having the antibodies in your bloodstream. Your gut has to be damaged to the point where the antibodies can then get into the blood stream. So use this test with the knowledge that a false negative is likely .

    Bakery on Main’s Cinnamon Raisin granola is gluten-free and packed with an amazing 9 grams of fiber per serving—when they use “Fiber Power” on the front of their package they aren’t kidding.  They use certified gluten-free oats, which is great for celiacs who include oats in their diet. 
    Open Original Shared LinkThis gluten-free cereal tastes great—it is not too sweet, nor does it taste too strongly of cinnamon.  It is packed with raisins, which I love.  On top of this it is dairy, GMO, cholesterol and trans fat-free, and is low in sodium.  In summary, it is a great way to start your day!

    Nuwi Organic Gluten-Free Quinoa Smoothie with Banana
    If you follow health food trends, chances are that you've heard of the superfood pseudograin, quinoa. It is nutrient-rich, packs a complete protein, is high in fiber, etc. etc. The bottom line is that you should probably be trying to come up with a way to integrate quinoa into your diet, whether gluten-free or not. Nuwi offers an easy solution with their gluten-free quinoa smoothie with banana, which is not only gluten-free, but lactose-free with no sugar added as well.

    These smoothies are a great way to take your quinoa on the go, and they actually retain that fresh-blended smoothie quality, even though they're totally shelf-stable. They're relatively light on sugar, and pack 3g of fiber and 3g of complete protein in one tiny 10 oz., 160 calorie bottle. They're worth a try, especially...

    B'Bites Gluten Free Peanut Butter Crisp
    All Natural Bites has created a healthy snack bite that is raw, all natural and gluten-free.  
    Open Original Shared LinkWhat I also like about this product is that it does not contain either soy, dairy or sugar!  The Peanut Butter Crisp is chewy and has just the right amount of peanut butter flavor.  
    These are truly “bites” and are the perfect size to satisfy a craving for sweets, without unnecessary or harmful ingredients.  If you try these, be sure to purchase several bags as they are truly deliciously addicting, yet low in calories.
