Exams and Tests
A complete blood count (CBC) may show signs of anemia. It is important to determine the cause if anemia is detected. An increase in alkaline phosphatase level may indicate bone loss, which is commonly experienced before diagnosis.
Low cholesterol and albumin levels may reflect malabsorption and malnutrition. Mildly elevated liver enzymes and abnormal blood clotting may also be noted.
Several antibody blood tests are used to screen for celiac disease. in screening.
An endoscopy with small bowel biopsy, particularly of the lower sections of the intestine most commonly affected, will show an flattening of the villi.
A follow-up biopsy or blood work may be ordered several months after the diagnosis and treatment. These serve as a final confirmation of the disease. Normal results mean the patient has responded to treatment, thereby confirming the diagnosis. However, this does not suggest that the disease has been cured.

You can get tested for celiac disease which is a form of gluten intolerance and that involves some blood work for different antibodies. IgA(EMA) and IgA(Ttg) I think are the two you want although there are some others too. If those are positive, your doctor may want to do an endoscopy too.
