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.

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
