PRIMA Coeliac Celiac Gluten Test

Follow the instructions (read them through first before doing anything else). It is an easy test to conduct. Clean hands, prick finger - per the diagram provided, let the blood form a drop, place the pipette on the drop and it sucks up bood, repeat till there is blood up to the black line, put blood from pipette into reagent bottle, mix well, three drops onto lateral flow, wait 10 minutes. If you have a sea of red like one of the pics you have used too much blood or too much reagent mix (only three drops needed). There is a very faint white line if you have sensitive eyes, barely visible - this is not a positive result - the line will be coloured if there is any indication of positive test. Everything worked well, prick drew blood easily when used as recommended - side of tip of ring finger; avoid front of fingers especially if you have thick skin/calloused hands (workmen, older people, some musicians etc). As with any lat flow test it will not be infallible but if the control line shows and there is no other coloured line you can deduce that it is much less likely that the condition tested for is present. Would be happy to use such a kit again.

A bit disappointing. GP warned me to avoid these home tests as they are not accurate so still none the wiser what is causing my symptoms. This purchase was in haste to self diagnose and avoid attending blood testing clinic during pandemic. Not confident in my results which were negative, and also like others think the pipette was useless (full of air so would let me drop blood up to the test line)!! My test still had blood travelling across the window post ten minutes so the test results are classed as invalid following instructions. Sadly a waste of money for me and I only wish this was half the price so I could try again with confidence in results and also drawing blood for the mixture (which I am confident self pricking). My advice, try for curiosity BUT follow GPs clinical blood tests before drastically changing your diet as these tests seem more of a suggestion rather than diagnoses.

My autistic 11 year old said it didn't hurt at all. Quick and easy. Hopefully accurate results as ticks one off the list for potential causes of said 11 year olds digestive issues. Didn't even notice the site of blood taking for rest of the day! I was a bit worried given the other reviews but they said it didn't hurt at all!

I used my own lancets as I'd read others were having trouble with the supplied one. It was a little difficult to produce enough blood to fill up the pipette but I managed. The leaflet supplied was clear and I had no issues following the instructions. The test seemed to work fine and I had a clear line in the control area, the test area had a completely white line. I've read some other customers experienced the same thing. I'm assuming this was an evaporation line of dome sort, there was no colour to the line. I'm reading the results as negative but as I haven't been to the Dr, it's hard to be completely sure.

Is it accurate? To be honest, i'm not entirely certain. But i can tell you this - if you're just vaguely questioning your ill health and wondering, perhaps, that it might be gluten intolerance, but you're not overly convinced, then this is ideal. Its fairly cheap and it takes about ten minutes. It may not provide nuclear-grade proof whether you're celiac or not, but it gives you a nice idea. It may be psycho-somatic (at the price i expect so) but...well, the way i look at it:1) if i was gluten intolerant and this tells me i am, then i have proof and will outright stop eating eating gluten. WIN2) if i'm NOT gluten intolerant and this tells me i am, then i incorrectly stop eating gluten therefore don't sufferWIN3) if i am gluten intolerant and this tells me i'm not, i'll continue to eat gluten, still feel bad and consult a doctor, who will then correctly diagnose me and i'll stop eating gluten. EVENTUAL WIN4) i'm not gluten tolerant and this tells me i'm not, WINso whats to lose?

Well there seemes too be alot of good reviews on this item which made me go for it n the first place!! P Which turned out to be a totaly waste of money for me! I’m not saying it’s a waste of money due to the good reviews I’m just saying it was a waste of money for me! I had problems getting the 10 🩸 of blood out! I’am a diabetic and know what I was doing! I pricked all my fingers n still didn’t get enough! I didn’t wanna give up so I cut my fingers with a kitchen knife! Abit drastic I know but i didn’t want to waste the test not that it helped cuz I found a crack n the blood syringe thing! So I’m no better off apart from £10 lighter! I hate written poor reviews but what can you do! Not only was it a waste of money I’m still running too and from the loo 💩 💩 💩 please don’t look at this review as a bad review I’m just saying what i experience!! I would 100% buy again from this seller! but can’t realy afford to at this moment in time, it’s just hard to get a doctors appointment around here at the mo 😀👍

This gluten intolerance is a great kit to help to see if you have a reaction to gluten which is in a lot of food.

I decided to buy this despite the bad reviews. The biggest one being that the lancet didn’t work. I was happy to see it was now supplied with two lancets. I read the instructions carefully and used the first lancet against the recommended finger, no amount of massaging was ever going to provide enough blood and I couldn’t fill the dropper tube. It recommends once the dropper tube is in contact with blood you don’t remove it but I ended up having to and use the second lancet on a different finger only this time the Dropper tube wouldn’t work. Complete waste of time and money.
