honestly, I don't know!!!

Their nurse is so knowledgable and helpful. I would call first thing in the morning and talk to her (or have her call you back). I bet she will be able to give you an answer that will help you make your decision.

good luck!

It doesn't matter what consistency it is when you ship it to them.

Matilda...I think its like Mariann said. I dont think it matters if its formed or not....I do remember worrying about the same thing though. My malabsorption was in the 900's so pretty bad but I wasn't having "D" or anything like that. I think mine was kinda soft but no runny d.

oh wow...I was just thinking about this yesterday and wondering if they had tests like this. Interesting. My husband had to do the same thing with urine...had to collect it in a jug over a course of a couple days and take it back to the dr. lab.

So when do they like for you to do this test? That's one of my BIGGEST problems is the big d and all those urgent trips...I wonder if that test would benefit me. It does seem a bit embarassing though....all I know is I wouldn't want that job! lol

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      You can always to the gluten challenge later, after your pregnancy, should you need a formal diagnosis. I think it's best to play it safe in this case.

      Very true. I also suffered from candidiasis which had affected my intestines and toes. I think this might have triggered my gluten intolerance/celiac.

      Welcome to the forum community, @Jesmar! The HLA DQ2 and DQ8 genes were the original halotypes identified with the potential to develop celiac disease. Since then, other genes have been discovered that apparently afford a predisposition to celiac disease. As is always the case, these new discoveries are not yet common knowledge and not yet widely dispersed in the medical community. It is not genetically as black and white as we once thought.
