I should think you should have the results within two weeks. Can you check your own test and lab results via computer in your healthcare system?

Thanks! Glad this site is active.

I had the biopsy  done at the hospital no way to get it other than Dr.

Not sure how your healthcare operates where you live but here in the USA it doesn't matter where the procedure is done it will still go into your medical record which is accessible to the patient online through the healthcare group you are a part of. The healthcare group provides the patient members with access to their records through a software portal. But in Canada your healthcare is totally socialized so it may not work the same.

It would be worth sending an email, or calling your doctor to see if you can get the results sooner, especially if you are suffering on a gluten-free diet. It sounds like all your celiac screening is now completed (I assume you had a blood test before your biopsy), and if so, you should be able to go gluten-free, but I'd let you doctor know beforehand.

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      corn: It is the second most commonly genetically modified food on the planet (soy is #1) Genetic modification of foods continues to kill animals in scientific studies. It is an incomplete protein. It is difficult for humans to digest (ever see corn in your stool?) It is high in calories and low in nutrient value It is a new food to the human genome. It is being used as a staple food for our cattle, fish, chicken, and cars. Cows and fish are not designed to eat grain. (Have you ever seen a fish jump out of a lake into a corn field for supper?) When animals eat corn as a staple they have shorter life spans. Corn fed beef is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Grass fed beef is not. ...

      Corn Gluten vs. Wheat Gluten: Corn gluten (zein) is different from wheat gluten (gliadin), but both are types of gluten.  Inflammatory Response: Some celiac patients have shown an inflammatory response after consuming corn.  Cross-Reactivity: Corn can mimic gluten in sensitive individuals, potentially triggering immune responses similar to those caused by gluten.  Individual Sensitivity: Many individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance find that they can't tolerate corn gluten, even though they avoid wheat, barley, and rye.  Nonresponsive Celiac: Some individuals with celiac disease don't respond well to a gluten-free diet, and this may be due to gluten contamination...

      Home-made kefir

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free journey! It’s great that you’re exploring ferments like kefir—they can be a wonderful support for gut health, especially when navigating celiac or gluten sensitivity. Kefir is rich in probiotics, and many people find it soothing during gut healing. It’s great that you’re already thinking about making sauerkraut and kimchi too—those are fantastic next steps! And that’s incredibly generous of you to offer kefir grains; I’m sure there are folks in NYC who would love to start their own batch. Keep sharing and exploring—you’re off to a great start!
