Celiac disease antibody tests are primarily used to help diagnose and monitor celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder caused by an inappropriate immune response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, and related dietary proteins in rye and barley. Celiac tests are usually ordered for people with symptoms suggesting celiac disease, including anemia and abdominal pain.Deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP) antibodies (anti-DGP), IgA or IgG — may be positive in some people with celiac disease who are negative for anti-tTG, especially children less than 2 years old. It may sometimes be ordered with or following an anti-tTG test, especially if anti-tTG is negative. DGP IgG testing along with anti-tTG IgG is recommended by the American College of Gastroenterology for people who have low IgA or IgA deficiency. If the anti-DGP test is positive, it may be used to monitor celiac disease.
