Hello All -

I had my panel run more than a week ago and still haven't heard anything back. My doctor had said that since the lab had to send the test out, it would take a while longer than in house tests and that he thought it'd be about a week. I also allowed some extra time for post-holiday backup (I had it right after new years) but I'm getting anxious.

I'm just wondering how long it took for all of you to get your antibody tests back.

My doctor and I agreed that regardless of the results I'm going to have an endoscopy but we're waiting for these to come back first. I'm getting impatient, especially because it seems that my symptoms are only getting worse and I'm anxious to begin my exclusion diet but I need to wait until after the biopsy is taken! :unsure:

Thanks,

Phedre

It was about a week for me! I would be calling and asking about them if you still don't have them.

I did mine testign teh same way. We did the blood tests and scheduled a biopsy right away before we even got teh blood work back.

Yeah, I'm going to give him a ring tomorrow to at least check the status of things. Basically all of this testing is just to make things official before I go on the diet - I'm still going to do it anyway to see if it helps, especially after reading about all the people here who tested negative and then improved on it!

Thanks :)

      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.

      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.
