Disappointed The test was a little pricey but I loved the fact I could just return my sample in my mail box. My biggest disappointment was that my test was inconclusive, there was enough blood just one of my markers was a little elevated so I didn’t learn a thing from the test and wasted $80

The kit was very easy to use but it did not give me the answers I was told it would. The kit was very easy to use and understand. But I am disappointed that I did not get the information I was looking for. I specifically talked to the young man at the food convention we went to in Schaumburg and told him I already knew I was not celiac. My question and concern was am I gluten sensitive. He assured me your test would address that and let me know if I was indeed gluten sensitive. No where on the test results did it address that issue. The only thing it clearly said was that I am not celiac, which as I said I already knew. So this was a total waste of the money I spent for it.

Not Effective No matter what I do, I can't get enough blood for a sample. The first kit I bought was in April and I used all three lances to puncture three different fingers and put roughly 8 drops of blood on the sample collector but it wasn't enough. When i called the company because my results were inconclusive, they made it sound like it was my fault for how i completed the test. I literally did everything according to the instructions. The sample collector comes with a spot where you drop your blood on and then it's supposed to be absorbed and spread to another section of the collector. I had a small pool of blood at the collection spot (8 drops of blood while the instructions said i only needed 4 drops) and nothing was being absorbed or spread to where it needed to be. There was literally a dome of blood at the collection site but it wasn't being absorbed by the strip. They sent me another kit and I lanced three fingers again and still not enough blood to fill the sample collector. It was the same story as my first experiences. The instructions ask for 4 drops of blood at each collection spot and suggest that lances 2 and 3 are backup lances. My 8 drops of blood couldn't even fill one of the collections strips. I literally would need to slice open my hand in order to get enough blood for this collector. I give up...I'm just going to go to the doctor so that they can draw blood instead of me walked around with punctured fingers like a Shmuck.

Lancets were very difficult to use Lancets were very difficult to use, both broke, making blood draw long and painful.

Collecting blood uncomfortable The Lancet used to cut your finger is a small blade. Squeezing blood out of your finger was kind of difficult. The labs near where I live wont draw blood without a doctor's orders so I hope this is reliable. You are supposed to send your blood back without any ice pack or anything to keep it cold which concerned me so I hope that doesnt effect anything. But i would do this again if there was a test I thought I needed but couldnt get.
