Having Problems Getting Test Results From York Lab

Anyone else experiencing delays from York Labs in getting back their FoodScan test results? I was charged for the test back in January and still haven't received my results. I have emailed them and was told "another week" - I hope I haven't wasted my $379 on this...

I didn't have any problem with York. I requested that they email me my results and they did that, before they mailed out the package. I received my results in approximately two weeks. I would email them again.

I found York customer service to be very good, our test results took very long too, but we eventually received them. We did it during the end of the Summer and the Florida hurricanes held it up. York accepts emails, so if you want to contact them that way, they'll respond. I've had questions after the test and contacted them via email and they got back to me within the week.

I too suffered a prolonged delay with some implausible excluse. The receptionist was sympathetic, but unable to actually help. I suspect the wait is on the other end (England). I think the US "branch" give a too optimistic estimate of turn around. Regarding answers to questions... I found them sloppy in their monitoring of email and "John" was hard to get ahold of after the sale.

Kvogt -

How long was your "prolonged delay" if you don't mind me asking? I was billed for the test the first week of January - so I'm over 2 months now without any results and really needing an answer as to other possibilities as to why I'm so sick.

Sorry for the slow reply. My delay was like 5-6 weeks. I was expecting 3 weeks, especially since I paid for the faster delivery. They said their lab had "email problems". I was unimpressed with their reason. I suggest you call and complain - loudly.

If you put the test on your credit card, I would call up and dispute the charge with your credit card company, informing them that you are unable to secure a reliable response from the company. You'll have your test sooner rather than later this way, I assure you.

I spoke to John the director at the Florida office of York Labs late yesterday and he promised to have my results emailed to me today or I would get my money back. I'll keep you posted as to what happens.

John the director at York Labs (Hollywood, FL location) promised me I would have my results no later than 3/17 and he came through. The 2 page lab results were emailed to me, with the rest of the package being shipped first class.

(I am severely reactive to 14 different food items including corn, soy, dairy, eggs, etc. plus another 4 items were shown to be moderately reactive and I should rotate them. No wonder I've been so sick.)

I mailed mine 3 weeks ago and hope to hear soon (expecting to wait 4-6 weeks). Do you think I should contact them after 8 weeks. Glad you heard.

Melanie -

I would start calling after 8 weeks, don't use the email. They blew off my emails asking about the results with no response at all.

  • 2 weeks later...

Hi, I got my test results today. I'm a little confused by them but thought I would let you know I got them. I think it took 4 to 5 weeks.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      Researchers are working on T cell modification therapy that could one day let celiacs eat gluten.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
