Anti-tranglutaminase-6 antibody test - Gluten Sensitivity Test

Posted by kmst1994 @kmst1994, Jan 13, 2023

Has anyone in this group had the TG6 antibody test done? I am having trouble finding a lab in the US that conducts this specific test. I have read some articles regarding the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals in the UK conducting research and finding some links between gluten sensitivity with neurological symptoms and a positive TG6 antibody test. Professor Mario Hadjivassiliou is the medical researcher associated with this research.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

Mayo used to have the Tg6 test, but I can't find any sign of it now. 2 places in the US where you might get the test is Dr Peter Green at NY Presbyterian hospital in NYC and the Cyrex 3x array from cyrex labs. Know that you must be eating gluten for a given amount of time before the test. If you quit sometime fairly recently, it might also be valid.
