Blood Tests

After a year and a half or so, i decided to get the blood tests reran again.

So far the total IGA was ran and came out to 211 (thats up 1 from my first test). So its within normal range.

Does the rest of the panel take a while to get back? If i remember right, it took about a week. My doctor said she'd run the full panel so now i wait.

Mind you its only been about 2 hours since i had the blood drawn. :)

Well no, and I have as much patience as a 2 year old who just ate an entire night's trick-or-treat candy, but that isn't the point!

I'm not sure how long it takes, but when the did my husband's tests they didn't call for THREE WHOLE DAYS!!!

You have Christmas to figure in, too. That might add an extra day. Ours were quick but where a lot of people's blood is sent is here in town. Also, previously, they only ran Celiac panels on Tue & Thur. If you got your blood taken today ( Thur) it wouldn't be read until Tue. However, Tue is a holiday so it might not be read until Thur. Or you could get it back tomorrow! But I would think a week, with the holiday.

So then, would it be strange to get one part of it back?

Yes, that is strange to get one part back. You should return it immediately. They may have accidentally given you someone else's part! :(

Not necessarily. My blood tests frequently come in bits and pieces and I think total IgA is pretty easy to run. They can just add your blood to one of the wells on an existing plate.

I doubt that. My hospital has an online distribution system for test results and whatnot.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative.

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating...

Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.
