Understanding one's celiac disease status through the Mayo Clinic TSTGP screening empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their diet and overall health. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Detecting celiac disease early is crucial, as it allows individuals to adopt a gluten-free lifestyle, preventing further damage to the small intestine and associated health complications. The TSTGP screening provides a gold standard diagnostic tool for individuals seeking to confirm or rule out celiac disease, offering them the opportunity to safeguard their well-being and embrace a gluten-free future.
