Home testing kits now available in the UK

The home testing kits developed by Biocard will soon be available over the counter. While we welcome a new tool that could help to get more people diagnosed we would stress that blood tests for coeliac disease are not 100% accurate and there are individuals who may have false negative results - even if they have not changed their diet. The self-testing kits should not replace a medical diagnosis and we recommend that if anyone has symptoms of coeliac disease they should go to their GP. 

The Biocard Celiac Test is currently on sale in the UK and a kit can be purchased from www.coeliactest.co.uk  for £19.99
