How Long Do Labs Usually Take Processing This Blood Work?!

I work in a doctor's office, and the lab is in the same building where I work. I went for "celiac antibodies" testing exactly 1 week ago (on Friday April 20) in the lab. I am the person who picks up the lab results for our office and I have looked through all the results every day, and nothing has come back yet. In the office where I work we usually get most tests back the very next day... though I do know that some tests can take a long time to come back.

Anyone have any idea how long labs usually take when processing blood for celiac antibodies?

Thanks a lot ... :)

Hi Annie,

I just got tested last week and my results came back fairly quick (a few days) but I do know that the Lab had to ship to a different location because they do not do that kind of testing in their facility. That may be why it is taking longer?

Hope you get them soon!

I had my blood work taken on Wednesday. The lady @ the labs front counter said 2-3 days. The phlebotimist said a week and the doctors office wouldn't allow me to make my re-check appointment for less than 2 weeks. I don't think they really know how long it takes, they all seemed to be guessing.

We had our son tested 2 weeks ago and haven't heard back yet. I figured it might take some time but I'm starting to get antsy. I said to my husband, "maybe they came back positive and she needs time to do some homework before she has a talk with us about the results". :lol: Really I like her because she seems to have a curious mind. But she was reluctant to test him, in a well meaning cautious way.

I had my blood drawn yesterday and the phlebotomist said my doctor should have the results in 2 business days.

The Celiac panel often takes a little longer, depending on which lab is used....I would say 1-2 weeks is what I have seen/experienced.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
