How Many Days Did Your Ttg Ab Blood Test Result Take?

I'm going out of my mind waiting, I had blood drawn for the tTg Ab (Tissue transglutaminase antibody) test 4 days ago. Major hospital in a large city. Their lab website says "1-3 days" for results, and they do send it out. I called today but they are still "pending".

If you had the tTG blood test, how long did your results take to come back? Do you think that the fact that it's taking longer indicates a probable negative result? I know, it's all speculation but I need something! Thanks.

1-3 days?? really?? That may be for the stuff they do in-house. We've always been 10 days or so and it's always been sent out and then the results have to go to the doctor's office first.

It totally depends on the lab they send it to. If they send it to ARUP it's pretty fast (about one week). Other labs vary. My tTG was ran at Quest Diagnostics and it took nearly one month to get my results.

:o A month??? Yikes! I was waiting to go gluten-free in case I needed a biopsy but I don't know if I can go another month. Thanks for the fast reply, I wish my doctor's office was as fast.

My sample was collected at a small doctor office. Maybe my sample sat in a refrigerator for a week or more. It may also depend when your sample arrives...they may only do certain tests on certain days. Maybe I was just unlucky. ;)

      Do you consume dairy? Have you recently had an infection or cold? Do you have digestive symptoms?   Do you eat processed gluten free foods? What is your Vitamin D level?

      Help figuring out stomach pain

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @lizzie42, How are your daughter's bowel movements?  Does she have gas, diarrhea or constipation?  Does her squeezing feeling move around in her abdomen or is it consistently in one spot?  Is she dehydrated? How much fruit does she eat?  Fruit juices? I'd recommend cutting out the cheese for a while, till you get it sorted.

      If you're more comfortable starting slow, that's fine, but do increase your dose to 500 mg per day as quickly as possible.  The World Health Organization recommends 500 mg thiamine HCl per day when deficiency is suspected.  Dr. Lonsdale had researched high dose thiamine for decades, and he has used higher doses, 1 to 3 grams in some cases.   Like I explained above, it's at that 500 mg level or higher that passive diffusion happens and thiamine can get into cells.  Inside the cells, thiamine turns the mitochondria back on.  Mitochondria produce energy the cells use to function.  I had been taking a multivitamin containing thiamine HCl regularly and still had become deficient. ...
