GlutenCHECK Gluten Intolerance Test

Great kit, quick and simple to use. Important to note that the finger prick thingy is a single fire, so don't go pressing the button to test it. It only works once! The glass capillary tube is inside the little plastic cone shaped container so easy to miss for some. Very simple and easy to use kit with clear results in 10 minutes but you MUST read the instructions first!

Very clear instructions good quality items for nearly all of the components except I got t the last stage of the process where you need to use a pipette to drop 3 drops of diluted blood into the reader. Fine except pipette was completely ineffective, cheap 2 moulded plastic pieces that did not draw the solution and split, rendering them completely ineffective and I did not have any other alternative but to pour in which of course meant too much went in probably making test null and void. infuriating that complete all steps then whole thing is a waste of time because corners skimped on a useless pipette. Waste of money

Seems to do the job but mine came with no capillary tube to measure out the blood and the Lancet was ineffective. So to get my result I had to cut myself with a sharp knife and drip in 2 small drops of blood.

Instructions are not great, as they refer to a different finger pricker compared to what's actually in the pack. Also there is a bit of plastic test tube type thing in the pack I still don't know what it was for. However, it is easy. The key is not opening the pack that contains the actual test (like a pregnancy test so I'll refer to it as this even though it's for coeliac) until you get blood, as once opened it must be used quickly. So all you do is prick finger with finger pricker tool by putting finger on end and pressing button. Doesn't hurt but I bled quite a bit. Put one drop of blood by squeezing finger into clear solution which is in a little bottle. Shake up and it is now a pink solution, this waters the blood down a lot so it absorbs inot the test. Open pregnancy tester type kit from its foil package at this point, take dropper, collect blood and put three drops on hole on left side of pregnancy tester type thing. Blood and clear liquid mix drops then absorb into the pregnancy tester type thing, and move right along the tester towards two windows. The right of these two windows gets a line in it to show you performed the test correctly (the blood has got to the test windows) the left of these two windows only gets a line if it detects the antibodies present if you are coeliac. Much easier and quicker than going to doctors.

I suspected that I might be gluten intolerant and had been contemplating going to the doctors for a while, I am aware how reluctant GPs can be to give a diagnosis for coeliac disease, so wanted to go in to the surgery "fully armed"! Fortunately the test came out negative and I know know that gluten isn't an issue for me - that's one illness off the list at least!! The test is very easy to do and the finger prick doesn't hurt very much at all - all in all, very easy, a reasonable price for peace of mind and the results were very clear. I would definitely recommend to anyone who suspects they are gluten intolerant.

Can't fault this product. The instructions are incredibly easy to follow. The "finger pricker" does its job and collecting the blood was easier than a walk in the park. You don't need much, just about half the glass rod, place in the buffer and mix well, couple of drops onto the biosensor and you have your answer within 60 seconds. The product could have come with disposal information, working in a lab, we usually have strict rules as to where we can place biohzard waste. I came to the conclusion that it was safe for disposal as long as I washed the apparatus before disposal.

After reading the instructions a few times over, it was fairly simple to understand. I followed the first few steps - pushed the pin in, twisted and pulled out. I then pressed against my finger and pushed the button but nothing happened... I tried several times but nothing worked. I tried to manually prick my finger using the device but sadly it didn't work and I had to throw the test away :( so I have wasted the money and still don't have a result.

This is a complete swindle - first of all you can't return the product if on reading the instructions you decide it is not suitable. Secondly the amount of blood required to do the test is just ridiculous; not just one drop as in a blood sugar test. Thirdly the results are ambiguous like a poor quality pregnancy test. What a waste of money.

Do no buy this product. It only has instructions in other languages and the website provided does not help. It is made my some sketchy overseas operation and I have no clue if it works. I complained to Amazon about this issue and they refunded my purchase.

Muy práctico

It's important to hold capillary pipette horizontally as in the picture

Easy to use, only took me 15 minutes total. The directions were clear and in English, easy to read. The Lancet only works once, so be sure to press firmly against the skin on a tender section of your fingertip to get it right. Results were clear and has eased my mind. I trust the accuracy for now, I am going to also get a full food intolerance test done soon.

No English instructions and vague results. Some of the items are so small it is difficult to use.
