did you have to wait a full three weeks for your results, seriously?

It's now been 2 weeks since they received my DNA. Gosh, I really can't stand waiting for testing results. Regardless of what the tests are for.

SO, I'm just trying to get a general idea on how long it "really" takes.

Thanks!

Mine was 1 day shy of the 3 week mark. When they say 3 weeks, I think they mean it!

I maybe not the "right" place to be posting this, but I am considering the Enterolab testing. I have been gluten-free for about 6 weeks and I am starting to feel much better, but my family is a bit skeptical without diagnosis. Enterolab tests intolerances not celiacs correct? Do you recommend the complete panel---is the genetic test of importantance? Im thinking if I have something to back this up, they may be more supportive down the line.

Thanks for any help and direction!

Bummer. I was really hoping I would not have to wait... another whole week. Looks like I probably will though, according to the general consensus.

Amyb - I've already had the blood tests and biopsy. I already know that I'm gluten intolerant... I just want to know whether or not I have the genes. And, if so... it'll help me (hopefully) to convince some of my family members to be tested as well. My 6 year old has Celiac, so.... I'm almost HOPING I have the genes, that way... we'll know why she has it.

In any event, Enterolab tests for the GENES for sensitivity and Celiac. The genetic test is not a diagnostic test by any means. The other tests can tell you whether or not you are dealing with nutrient absorption issues and whether or not you are producing the antibodies, but the tests can't diagnose Celiac.

On the 21st day, I emailed them and lo and behold, my results showed up that day. I'm not a very patient person when it comes to waiting for test results, and it KILLED me to wait so long! Good luck!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
