    Thanks for the responses! Helped with the anxiety, at least. Imaware received the sample today, and they say it should be fine. In case anyone else runs into this kind of snag in the future, here's the response I received: "The good news is we have designed multilayer packaging and our collection devices help the sample remain stable at ambient...

    So I did it - I did the gluten challenge for 7.5 weeks, and I hated every second of it. I got the Imaware at-home test, did the finger stick, and shipped the blood sample through UPS as instructed. UPS shipped to the lab via 2nd-day air. It was supposed to arrive yesterday (Fri 2/25), but I refreshed the tracking page this morning and it's been delayed (till...

    That's a good idea. Thanks! I'll just have to think about it financially.

    There are businesses that you can order labs through - e.g. Walk-In Lab, Any Test Now. And the home test kit Trents mentioned. It's probably more expensive than doing it through a doctor, but the tests go to the same labs a hospital would send them to. And yes, I'll be sure to get the full panel!

    Got it. I've been avoiding red meat on the anti-inflammatory diet, but I'll give some lean red meat a try. Thanks!

    Thank you! This is really good info. I've been feeling so much better since I went gluten-free, I'm kind of scared that going back on will make my mental health plummet again. I'll try the B12 and ginger ... don't currently have a doctor or insurance (had some bad experiences and the US insurance system is messed up), so I'll steer clear of iron supplements...

    Hi! New to the forums, and I'm doing the gluten challenge in preparation for the blood test. I haven't had gluten for about two months, been feeling much better (extreme anxiety disorder has calmed down a lot, chronic pain has lessened, and things are much better in the bathroom). Ate gluten yesterday and today, and I'm already in pain again. Six more weeks...
