Inclusion Criteria
Patients already undergoing a gastroscopy for either coeliac disease detection or an unrelated reason (control) are invited for inclusion in this study so that the risk of inclusion in the study is associated with an additional 2-4 biopsies collected rather than the gastroscopic procedure itself.
Exclusion Criteria
Minors are excluded from this study.
To minimise the risk of bleeding or infection due to biopsy, patients who are at risk of these complications are excluded from this study such as patients with bleeding disorders, taking anticoagulation medicine or patients who are severely immunocompromised .
