Description: Detects Exposure to Gluten for Better Dietary Management. Gluten Peptide is commonly present in stool. Gluten-containing grains (such as wheat, rye, barley, and oat*) are digested into their gliadin and glutenin subunits. A specific section of the gliadin protein, referred to as the 33-mer peptide, is resistant to digestion in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract and functions as a significant immune trigger in certain individuals, including those with celiac disease (CD).1 Even in non-celiac gluten-sensitive (NCGS) individuals, the 33-mer protein can be antigenic, inducing food sensitivities and intestinal permeability (leaky gut). When intestinal permeability is present, this antigenic peptide can drive extra-intestinal symptoms – those presenting outside the GI tract – such as skin manifestations, headaches, behavioral symptoms, and more.
This test is a direct quantification of the 33-mer gliadin peptide present in stool samples. Because this peptide is highly resistant to human digestion, it can be accurately detected in a person's stool several days after consumption of gluten. The Gluten Peptide (Stool Gluten) marker can be ordered as an add-on to the GI-MAP in the Results Portal.
