Which is the most correct test to certain gluten allergy? Is skin prick test to certain food allergy more credible than allergy profile test in which blood is taken to test it?

Question

Prick test is just to check when you need some reading for comparison and frequent testing is required. Glutencheck is a rapid test for use at home to detect the presence of iga tissue transglutaminase antibodies (ttg) in whole blood. Glutencheck is suitable for both, an initial diagnosis of gluten intolerance as well as a therapy follow-up. Blood sampling for test is better option. You can go for total serum iga and igg. Do you have any symptoms or just for knowledge. You can discuss with me in details through Lybrate.
