Re:question concerning celiac

[Guest guest]

Thank you. I will pass this on to my mother.

How do you go about getting a blood sample to a reliable lab? I know of the

labs that are supposed to be good for celiac, but I don't know what the

procedure is to getting it there. For example: if I take my son to my

doctor, he will send him to the hospital for the blood work. Does the

doctor then give instructions to the lab at the hospital where to send it?

What information does the doctor/lab need to send it?

Any hospital lab should be able to do the blood screening test. The

Celiac Research Center was accepting blood for free testing, but I

think they stopped doing that. If you email them, they will help you

1) find a good lab and/or 2) set up a free screening clinic in your

neighborhood and fly someone out to supervise it. (Oh, sure, in your

spare time - lol!)
