GBNot 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.

GBDisappointed 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

GBIt may be my issue but when I purchased… It may be my issue but when I purchased the test I was under the impression it would tell me a definitive answer on whether I had Celiac or not. Instead it gave me a percentage of likelihood of me having it. That’s not helpful to me.

GBPossibly not accurate Nothing in the test says you should be eating a lot of gluten before you take the test. It's cut back months before for calorie considerations. After reading up on celiac and testing, I now think the test was inaccurate because I was barely eating any and hadn't been for sometime. I thought just a little should be enough for the test. My DNA says I'm likely to have celiac and my aunt was just diagnosed with it (after I did my test).

GBHorrible Horrible. My results came back "inconclusive" biggest waste of 100 dollars.
