Please Answer Enterolab Question

[gary]

Hey,

I just had a quick question for anyone who can answer it. I'm wanting to order the enterolab package to check for gluten sensitivity, ect. THE WHOLE WORKS. But right now I'm in the process of applying to dental school which means I'm flying all over the place interviewing. There is nothing in the package that makes it so that it needs to be completed right away and sent in is there. I was wondering because I was about to order but am going to be gone for the next 3-4 days and I don't want to cause any problems in the process of the test. Are the tests ok to sit for a few days before they are completed and sent in? Does anyone know?

Thanks,

Gary

Gary,

There is nothing that can't wait until you get back. Good luck on your school applications.

What they send you is a collection bucket for your poop and swabs for your tissue samples from your cheek. They can sit unopened as long as you need them to.

However, keep in mind that once you DO collect your samples you may need to freeze it if it's not going out the next day. Swabs are good for only a week--if you anticipate having to wait longer than that to send them in you have to freeze them.

The samples can only be sent on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, so plan to collect your sample accordingly. Once you collect your sample, box it up, put it in the bag and call for pickup. Then you can leave it on your porch and go to work, like I did.

They give you explicit directions on how to mail the sample back.

Good luck, and let us know what your results are!
