Women should take the test whenever they are experiencing change in body weight and composition. Loss of hair and sensitivity towards cold temperature.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a Total Protein (Protein, Albumin, Globulin, A/G) Test or Take a CELIAC PROFILE (TTG IGA ABS, GLIADIN IGG & IGA ABS) Test
