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.

Yes. They did ask me if I wanted morning or afternoon pick up window. They said they could pick up as late as 8:00 pm.

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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
