How Long Before Test Results Come In?


Orinda

My 5-year-old has been complaining of stomach pain for months, and while it's not severe, it's enough that it reminds me of her sister before she was diagnosed 5 years ago via biopsy. So last Friday I took her to a pediatric GI at a children's hospital who ran a full celiac panel. I was just wondering how long it takes to do all of them? I know I can view her ttg-IgA tonight online, but that's the only one that they post for parents to look at, and based on prior testing, it's pretty much worthless as her total IgA is on the very low side.

 

It drives me crazy that they don't post all the results online, but I'm not sure when to start bugging them via phone if it takes a week for all of it to get done.

 

Thank you!

Hard to say, since every lab is different. What did your doctor say? Waiting is so hard! Hang in there, Mom!

Most seem to be done in a week or two.  The EMA IgA takes the most time because of the titre (dilutaions).

Hang in there -- it is hard to wait.  I'm sure it's got to be much harder since you're waiting on results for your small child.  We all want to protect our kids!

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
