Private coeliac disease testing: 2026 prices, blood and genetic tests

indekscen.pl editorial team · published 30 September 2026 · prices according to the 5 October 2026 index

A private coeliac disease test, consisting of a blood antibody panel, most often costs PLN 215 (typically PLN 200 ‑ 325), according to 4 laboratory price lists collected by indekscen.pl. The cheapest single test starts at PLN 194, a comprehensive profile costs up to PLN 694, and a genetic test costs around PLN 321.

Suspected coeliac disease is usually investigated first with a blood test, but the diagnostic process often does not end there. Laboratories offer individual tests, broader panels and genetic tests, with prices varying severalfold. We compare the private cost of each step, what the NFZ covers and what may not be included in the price of the test itself.

How much does a private coeliac disease test cost?

A private coeliac disease test most often costs PLN 215, and half of laboratory price lists fall within the PLN 200 ‑ 325 range. The median applies to a blood antibody panel, based on 4 price lists collected by indekscen.pl. The cheapest individual test costs from PLN 194, while a comprehensive diagnostic profile costs up to PLN 694, depending on the collection centre.

Details and sources are available at coeliac disease test. The laboratory price does not include a medical consultation or interpretation of the results, which are charged separately by some providers.

Can coeliac disease be detected with a blood test?

A blood test for coeliac disease detects antibodies produced by the body in response to gluten and usually costs PLN 200 ‑ 325 privately. The most commonly measured markers are tissue transglutaminase antibodies (anti‑tTG) and total IgA, because an IgA deficiency can lead to a misleading result. A blood test result is an important indicator, but the diagnosis is made by a doctor, often after further tests.

A blood test is useful only if the diet contains gluten. If someone has already switched to a gluten-free diet, their antibody levels may fall and produce a false negative result. Before having the test, ask your doctor how to prepare.

How much does a genetic test for coeliac disease cost?

A private genetic test for coeliac disease costs around PLN 321. It checks whether someone has genes associated with a predisposition to the disease (HLA‑DQ2 and HLA‑DQ8). A negative result virtually rules out coeliac disease, while a positive result does not mean that the person has the disease, only that it may develop.

A genetic test is performed only once in a lifetime and does not require the person to eat gluten, so it is sometimes ordered for relatives of people with coeliac disease or those who are already on a gluten-free diet. It does not replace antibody testing.

Test	Private price	What it shows
Blood antibody test (panel)	PLN 200 ‑ 325	whether the body is currently reacting to gluten
Individual test, cheapest offers	from PLN 194	one marker, e.g. anti‑tTG
Comprehensive diagnostic profile	up to PLN 694	several markers at once
Genetic test	around PLN 321	genetic predisposition
Gastroscopy with biopsies	PLN 450 ‑ 550	condition of the intestinal lining

What tests are needed to rule out coeliac disease?

Ruling out coeliac disease usually starts with a blood antibody test, which costs around PLN 215 privately. A doctor determines the next steps. The typical pathway is as follows:

1. Blood antibody test while following a diet containing gluten.
2. Consultation with a doctor to discuss the result, usually with a gastroenterologist.
3. Gastroscopy with biopsies taken from the duodenum, if the doctor considers it necessary. It usually costs PLN 450 ‑ 550 privately, with an additional charge of around PLN 550 for anaesthesia.
4. Genetic testing in selected cases, e.g. when the results are inconclusive.
5. Additional tests, e.g. a full blood count, iron and ferritin, because coeliac disease is often associated with deficiencies.

We discuss gastroscopy under anaesthesia in more detail in the article gastroscopy under anaesthesia.

Are coeliac disease tests available through the NFZ?

Coeliac disease tests are free through the NFZ if a doctor issues a referral. An antibody test may be ordered by a doctor who considers it medically indicated, while gastroscopy and specialist tests are usually ordered by a gastroenterologist. Without a referral, the same antibody panel costs PLN 200 ‑ 325 privately.

Whether a GP can order a reimbursed coeliac disease test depends on which tests are available at the particular clinic. The easiest option is to ask at reception or during your appointment. People usually choose private testing for speed, because laboratory appointments are available immediately, while there is often a wait for an NFZ gastroenterologist appointment.

How much does the entire private coeliac disease diagnostic process cost?

The complete private diagnostic process for coeliac disease consists of several separate items, so we list them side by side rather than giving a single total:

Median and typical range from public price lists, as at 5 October 2026. Each price includes a source and quotation on the service page.

The median cost of a full blood count is PLN 25, so it is worth adding one when your blood is taken. If the diagnosis is confirmed, a change of diet is also required. An initial dietitian appointment usually costs PLN 205 ‑ 275, and we discuss the cost of a nutrition plan in more detail in the article how much does a diet plan from a dietitian cost.

What are the signs that you should be tested for coeliac disease?

Doctors usually order a coeliac disease test, costing around PLN 215 privately, for persistent intestinal symptoms or deficiencies that cannot otherwise be explained. Coeliac disease does not always cause typical symptoms. Alongside abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhoea, symptoms may include fatigue, iron-deficiency anaemia, weight loss, skin changes or slower growth in children.

None of these symptoms alone indicates coeliac disease, and some people have no symptoms at all. If you have worrying symptoms, it is therefore best to see a doctor first. They will assess whether testing is needed and which tests should be performed. It is particularly worth discussing if a close family member has coeliac disease.

Coeliac disease or lactose intolerance: how much do the tests cost?

A lactose intolerance test, also known as a hydrogen breath test, costs around PLN 199 privately, similar to a coeliac disease antibody panel. The symptoms of the two conditions can be similar (bloating, abdominal pain and diarrhoea), so a doctor may sometimes order both tests. lactose intolerance test is performed at a laboratory or clinic, with the result available on the same day.

What affects the price of a coeliac disease test?

The price of a coeliac disease test mainly depends on its scope: a single antibody test is much cheaper than a comprehensive profile. Other factors include:

• Scope of the panel. A single marker costs from PLN 194, while a profile covering several markers costs up to PLN 694.
• Type of test. A genetic test is more expensive than a basic blood test.
• Laboratory and collection centre. The same laboratory chain may charge different prices at different locations.
• Panel or individual tests. Tests purchased together as a panel are usually cheaper than those purchased separately.

How can you avoid overpaying for coeliac disease tests?

• Do not immediately buy the most comprehensive profile. Ask your doctor which markers are needed.
• Compare prices at several collection centres operated by the same chain and at competing laboratories.
• Do not stop eating gluten before the test without consulting your doctor, to avoid having to repeat the tests.
• Check what is available through the NFZ. A doctor’s referral may cover the full cost.

Frequently asked questions

Can a GP order a coeliac disease test?

Na NFZ badanie przeciwciał w kierunku celiakii zleca lekarz, który widzi do tego wskazania, a zakres badań dostępnych w danej przychodni warto sprawdzić na miejscu. Bez skierowania to samo badanie kosztuje prywatnie zwykle PLN 200 ‑ 325.

Do you need to fast before a blood test for coeliac disease?

Laboratoria zwykle zalecają pobranie krwi rano, na czczo albo kilka godzin po lekkim posiłku, ale szczegółowe zalecenia podaje konkretne laboratorium. Cena badania, około PLN 215, od tego nie zależy.

Is a pharmacy coeliac disease test reliable?

Test domowy z kropli krwi może wskazać, że warto zrobić badanie, ale nie zastępuje oznaczenia w laboratorium, które kosztuje zwykle PLN 200 ‑ 325. Wynik testu domowego zawsze omów z lekarzem.

How much does a coeliac disease test for a child cost?

Badanie przeciwciał u dziecka kosztuje w laboratoriach tyle samo co u dorosłego, zwykle PLN 200 ‑ 325. O zakresie badań i ich interpretacji u dzieci decyduje pediatra albo gastroenterolog dziecięcy.

Can you eat gluten before a coeliac disease test?

Przed badaniem przeciwciał nie należy przechodzić na dietę bezglutenową, bo wynik może wyjść fałszywie ujemny. Jeśli już jesz bez glutenu, zapytaj lekarza, co zrobić przed badaniem.
