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

      New labs are now very elevated

      Hello, I was very stick, with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel. Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change? What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?...

      Is Cracker Barrel`s gluten-free menu safe for kids with celiac disease?

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to...

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?
