The new test for Celiac disease that healthcare may use is called EMA-IgA Test.
After the tTG-IgA test to help make the diagnosis of Celiac Disease.
The most accurate test is tTG-IgA (tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody) IgA = Immunoglobulin A. The two definitive diagnostic blood tests are: Serology testing for antibodies in your blood. Elevated levels of certain antibody proteins indicate an immune reaction to gluten. As well as genetic testing for human leukocyte antigens located in the Human locus antigen (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DC8) can be used to rule out Celiac disease. Thank you.

Several blood tests:
Tissue transglutinase
Deaminated gliadin peptide
Endomyseal antibody (Most specific, but also the most expensive.

The test of choice for celiac is called anti-endomysial antibody (IgA, IgM). To test for celiac though, you must be ingesting gluten for at least a couple of weeks for the test to turn positive.
