When should I re-test the Wheat Zoomer and Intestinal Permeability panel?

How long it takes to improve intestinal permeability varies widely per the patient and the protocol used. Therefore, it is up to the ordering provider’s clinical discretion when to re-test the Wheat Zoomer and/or Intestinal Permeability panel to best serve their patient. In celiac disease, the Celiac Foundation recommends retesting a celiac panel and gliadin antibodies 3-6 months after a diagnosis of celiac disease, 12 months after diagnosis, and annually thereafter. The rationale for repeat testing is to monitor disease activity and dietary adherence to a gluten free diet. Until more is known about non-celiac gluten sensitivity, wheat sensitivity, and wheat lectin sensitivity, it may be reasonable to retest according to the guidelines for celiac disease.
