There have been some posts in the past of a few who tried to use york and had bad experiences. Anyone used them since they became OHR -- say in the last six months -- with good results?

i used them and their customer service is terrible. The results took about 2 months and i believe they were pretty accurate. iam going to do another one through Genova Diagnostics. I faxed them a threatening letter when i didnt receive my results after 2 months and they emailed it to me the next day. Good lab, but bad support.

Grrr. That's what I was afraid of. They are the only company that I can find that will allow me to test IgG & IgE without going through a doctor. The state of Alabama is picky, for some unknown reason.

Thanks for your input!

If you are patient and dont mind waiting, the lab is supposed to be pretty good. The results are self-explanitory, so you dont need there support. I suggest faxing them if you have any questions. Calling the number is pointless.

I posted this question a few weeks ago and didn't get any replies.

My kit was received by them back in October and I can't seem to get the results.

They are rated an F by the Better Business Bureau so I would say others are definitely having problems.

THey do not answer the phone or respond to emails or voice mails....maybe I'll try the fax as someone suggested.

I had the same non-responsive experience with this lab back in July 2007. After 4 months of no results and no response to emails or voice mails I filed a charge back on my credit card. They never disputed it. So luckily I got my money back. I was only out the frustration of not receiving the results.

You should send them a threatening letter by fax..........it worked for me immediately..........results in 24 hrs after that!

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
