When to Use It

Suspect Inadvertent Gluten Exposure?

If you suspect you may have been inadvertently exposed to gluten, reduce fluid intake to concentrate the urine sample. Wait 6-9 hours after the suspected gluten ingestion before performing the test. If the exposure happened at dinner, collect the first morning urine. 

Want Regular Monitoring of Your Gluten-Free Diet? 

To check if you are following your gluten-free diet correctly, collect 3 urine samples over the week: 2 samples during the week and one reflecting weekend intake. For optimal timing, collect two samples late in the day and a third sample first thing in the morning. Reduce fluid intake in the hours (2-4 hours) before testing, as this can affect the result.
