GBTheir self test kits are terrible Their self test kits are terrible. If you have calloused fingers it's practically impossible to use, and you apparently need about 20x more blood than they claim you need.

GBVery frustrating Very frustrating. Sent 1st sample in and got no results for 2 weeks, so I contacted them. They said not enough blood was present, and sent me a 2nd test kit. They should have reached out to me 1st, but they did readily shipped 2nd kit. Tried 2nd test kit and followed all their tips - hot water, lancet location, etc. Very little blood came out, so I used the 2nd lancet with same result - the lancets are weak and don't produce enough blood. I ended up getting a sewing needle to stab into my finger to get enough blood and its still probably not enough. Previously, I completed another company's test kit for Omega-3 with a better lancet and an overabundance of blood droplets were produced where I was dripping blood all over the table, so its not me. Try upgrading your cheap lancets - if they don't produce blood, your test is useless.

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).

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.

GBNot worth the $100 when it comes back… Not worth the $100 when it comes back inconclusive. That was a big waste of money. I could have had my doctor do the test for much cheaper and would have received actual results.
