How Long Does It Take For Celiac Blood Work To Come Back?

I had blood work done for Celiac over two weeks ago and my doctor has still not had the results back from the hospital.  I know the hospital are busy but I'm starting to get concerned something might be wrong.  How long does tests normally take when trying to find celiac?

I got mine back in exactly a week but the health clinic at the university is connected to our hospital so that could speed things up. Maybe you can find a number for the labs they sent your work to, if you know which hospital? 

 

PS. If your blood work comes back positive, then they will refer you to a GI to get an endoscopy. Stay on at least a "gluten-lite" diet until you have completely finished testing. You could start healing and then your tests could come back as a false-negative. 

 

PPS. Welcome to the forum!

      The Trader Joe's GF hamburger buns are the best!

      Just ate some for lunch!  A really superb alternative to gluten-free bread and burger buns that all have the taste and consistency of compacted sawdust.  I bought two packs and now I'm down to one remaining muffin so need to get some more; the only thing is it's their own brand - they don't do mail or on line ordering and the nearest TJ's is in Charlottesville (a real nightmare to drive around) an hour away from me over the mountain.  😒

      When I underwent a scope three years ago, the GI told me I was negative for celiac because there was no intestinal damage (in spite of multiple strong positive labs). I went back to look at my biopsy report out of curiosity, and found this note: “Localized mild nodular mucosa was found in the duodenal bulb. Duodenum otherwise normal.” The pathology from this scope was negative. Does anyone have any insight into mild modular mucosa and what that could indicate or be a precursor to? I’ve read it can be a sign of celiac or other gut issues like h. Pylori, etc.  Thanks in advance!

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?
