How are the tests shipped? I'm not home during the day and would want to have them delivered to my workplace, but only if the box doesn't give away the contents, lol. Thanks in advance!

Hmmm...I cant remember if there was anything "incriminating" on the box. I dont think it would be too obvious though...not unless you have some very nosey people at work. :unsure:

My husbands test kit from Entrolabs came in a plain brown box with mailing labels that had his name & address & Entrolabs name & address thats it. It also came regular mail it took about 4-5 days to get it. Then to send it back you call a currier service @ an 800 number & schedule the pick up at your house. Then we got the results in 2 weeks by email. They came on Sunday morning. I don't think anyone will know what you rec'd from the outside of the box.

I just got mine in the mail.......does anyone know how they pick it up? I know you have to call a service, but I also work everyday, and I live in an apt. building, so it's not like I can just leave it outside.......and do they give you a specific time that they pick it up? How does that work?

They gave me a window time frame for pick up. The contents for the stool test have to be kept cool so you couldn't leave it outside unless its cold where you live.

You might be able to ask them how you should handle it when you call the 800 number. Good Luck.

Re shipping the sample back. The courier for mine (~5 months ago) was DHL which is owned by Fed-Ex. I was able to drop my shipment at a nearby DHL/Fedex pickup point (I think it was a Staples office supply store). Anyway there is an 800 number to call to get the nearest shipping pickup points.

      Hi Ya All, Dr. just. Told me I have one celiac marker. I have been taking multiple blood test for thin Dr for years. Why couldn’t he have mentioned this! Anyway my functional med practitioner

      Hi, yes I don't. Dr. Who delivered the message said that since I had one marker it wasn't important.

      Not to eat or drink certain ones of what? Do you know what it is specifically you are trying to avoid when you eat? I kind of get the feeling you don't really understand much of this celiac thing.

      Hi Ya , yes I have access to my records. Now if I only knew what I was looking for?? But for me this not important. I already know not to eat or drink certain ones. And I also push the packet on occasionally. Whatnisnto be learned? What's the value to be learned?

      Hello, Jeff and yes, PTL! The word "marker" is typically used in connection with gene testing but gene testing is not usually where testing for celiac disease starts. It usually starts with blood work looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. The most popular antibody test ordered by doctors is the tTG-IGA test but there are others. Here is an overview: Do you have access to your medical record/test results online? What is your next step with this? I assume you are not yet eating gluten free.

      Is tTG 9 normal after 4 months gluten-free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @lizzie42, I have dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks when I am exposed to foods high in iodine.  Iodine can cause dermatitis herpetiformis to flair up badly.  So I avoid high iodine foods like dairy products, crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster, shellfish), Eggs, and iodized table salt.  Spinach,  potatoes, kale, and kelp are high in iodine, too. The antibodies that cause dermatitis herpetiformis are tTg 3 IgA.  The tests for Celiac Disease measure tTg 2 IgA antibodies.  The dermatitis herpetiformis tTg3 antibodies can hang around for two years or more and become more active when exposed to iodine without having gluten present.  Dermatitis Herpetiformis is pressure sensitive and...
