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. ;)

      Thank you for the information. I did order/receive GliadinX to have on hand in the event of suspected exposure.

      Celiac or not?

      Just had a letter through from the Celiac team, they’ve diagnosed me through my bloods, no endoscopy/biopsy needed. I guess I’ll be sticking around on this forum and I’m sure I’ll be back soon. thanks for all your help

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?
