The Endomysial Antibody (IgA) Screen with Reflex to Titer Test checks your blood for antibodies linked to celiac disease. You might also hear it called an EMA IgA test or anti-endomysial antibody screen with reflex titer. If your provider ordered this, you can book at participating labs on LabFinder.
Some centers list it as an endomysial IgA screen or EMA screen with reflex titer. It looks for IgA antibodies that can appear when gluten triggers the immune system. If the screen is positive, the lab measures a titer, which helps show how strong the response is.
Common reasons: ongoing belly pain, bloating, or diarrhea, low iron or anemia without a clear cause, slow growth in kids, rashes that itch and burn like dermatitis herpetiformis, or a family history of celiac disease. Your provider may pair this with tissue transglutaminase IgA and a total IgA level for a clearer picture.
You will check in, confirm your order, and a phlebotomist will draw a small tube of blood from your arm. The draw itself takes a minute. The visit usually lasts about 10 to 20 minutes. A small bandage is placed and you can head out.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. A strict gluten free diet before testing can lower antibody levels and affect results, so follow your doctor’s plan.
No fasting is typical: most labs do not require fasting. Do not start a gluten free diet unless your doctor says so: cutting gluten early can lower antibodies. Stay hydrated: water can make the draw easier. Share your medicines and supplements: bring a list, including any immunosuppressants. Wear short sleeves: this helps with the draw. Always follow any instructions from your provider or the lab and bring prior results if you have them.
Celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, long lasting belly pain or diarrhea, unexplained weight loss, poor growth in children, and iron deficiency anemia. Results must be read in context. Your doctor will review your numbers along with your history and symptoms before recommending next steps.
