    The NICE guidelines suggest testing for total IgA as well as IgA tTG. Might be worth referring this your GP to this if it hasn't been done.

    Other tests that might be worth considering for home testing include IgA anti-DGP, IgG anti-DGP, and IgG tTG. It is also possible to have a genetic test to see whether you are susceptible to coeliac disease by seeing what type of HLA gene you have. Almost everybody with coeliac disease has either HLA-DQ2, HLA-DQ8, or HLA-DQ2.2, and anyone not having one of those halotypes is unlikely to have coeliac disease.
    Home tests are fairly accurate although not as accurate as an accredited laboratory. I found several UK suppliers - I have not used them, have no connection and am not recommending them, I am just giving this as an example of what is available.

    Not that I recall. I felt lousy prior to a gluten free diet and then gradually improved over 9 months. Going back on gluten for testing was very unpleasant indeed.
