A invention relates to a method for diagnosing a subject, or for providing a prognosis of the subject's condition. The method comprises analysing the concentration of a signature compound in a bodily sample from a test subject and comparing this concentration with a reference for the concentration of the signature compound in an individual who does not suffer from the disease being screen for. An increase in the concentration of the signature compound in the bodily sample from the test subject compared to the reference suggests that the subject is suffering from the disease being screen for, or has a pre-disposition thereto, or provides a negative prognosis of the subject's condition. The disease being screened for is coeliac disease or bile acid diarrhoea. |
