84% Informative

Australian research published on Tuesday in the journal Gastroenterology showed a blood test for gluten-specific T cells had a high accuracy in diagnosing coeliac disease, even when no gluten was eaten.

Currently, every approved method to diagnose it requires people to eat gluten.

Current testing methods require weeks of a person eating gluten, while often enduring symptoms such as diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating.
