How Long For Test Results?

[lonewolf]

I had my kids in on Monday morning to be tested (Celiac panel) and forgot to ask the doctor how long it would take to get the results back. Before I call to pester them, I thought I'd ask you all how long it has taken for your tests. I'm thinking I don't even want to know until after Christmas at this point, but the kids keep asking.

Thanks,

Liz

Depends completely on the lab, but the lab my doc uses takes about a week to get back. The lab my son's GI doc used, only took 3 days. Dunno if that helps, or not. If i was you I would just call and ask, better then sitting around wondering

depends on the lab and the doc. expect at least a week, it may be two or three. by three, I'd call.

Thanks, I think I'll wait until at least the end of next week before calling. Really, it will make Christmas easier on the extended family. Everyone is used to me and my special diet, but it would throw them all for a loop if there were more of "us".

The labs that analysed my tests are usually fast. I have recieved some of my test results within 2 days, but I always called and asked for them when I got them that quick. Let us know how everything goes.
