    No worries I know my description was a little confusing. That's it exactly yes. And just hoping if anyone with experience of wait times on the NHS might be able to shed light on their experience. Afraid I'm not sure about the second point. It may be that the NHS have differing ways of doing things VS elsewhere? Thanks again for your quick replies

'Current guidelines advise that samples for coeliac disease investigation are initially screened for tTG antibodies. EMA will usually only be required when the tTG result is positive in new patients...

    Hey, apologies if this has already been asked, I couldn't see any recent chats about this. Could anyone who has received a Coeliac screening blood test on the NHS please share how long it took you to receive results? I've been waiting 3 weeks and just trying to suss how much longer it may be. I know they do TTG and then only do the EMA if the first test is...
