I should think you should have the results within two weeks. Can you check your own test and lab results via computer in your healthcare system?

Thanks! Glad this site is active.

I had the biopsy  done at the hospital no way to get it other than Dr.

Not sure how your healthcare operates where you live but here in the USA it doesn't matter where the procedure is done it will still go into your medical record which is accessible to the patient online through the healthcare group you are a part of. The healthcare group provides the patient members with access to their records through a software portal. But in Canada your healthcare is totally socialized so it may not work the same.

It would be worth sending an email, or calling your doctor to see if you can get the results sooner, especially if you are suffering on a gluten-free diet. It sounds like all your celiac screening is now completed (I assume you had a blood test before your biopsy), and if so, you should be able to go gluten-free, but I'd let you doctor know beforehand.

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.

      Juice shots? Anti inflammatory

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I avoid turmeric now because I'm on low dose aspirin, but used to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYBN4DJ My recipes always vary according to what I have on hand, but my base is a frozen berry mix from Trader Joe's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/fruits-greens-smoothie-blend-075603 In the warmer months I include herbs from my garden like Italian parsley and basil. I add almond milk as well.

      Thank you! This is very helpful. Quick followup: what is your recommendation re: gluten-free prepared foods (labeled gluten-free or certified gluten-free) during this time of being more strict about eating gluten-free? Is it necessary to eat only whole foods prepared at home, or is it safe to include prepared / packaged foods in her diet (I'm thinking particularly of snack foods)?

      Is blending same as cold press? Is there any juice recipe you tried that you feel helped like the ginger turmeric? Is there a brand turmeric powder you used etc? I used Aloe vera years ago but the taste is hard to get down. What are your go to juices you made?
