GBFirst of all First of all. The first email I recieved from your company had an instructional video on how to operate the blood draw equipment. This video never worked. I have gone back to the web page and the video would never load. Therefore, the reason it took me so long to send my blood sample back was because I believed, due to the instructions, that I had to watch the video first. Next, I decided I would go ahead and go through the process without watching the video. The picture instructions were helpful. Yet, the first lancit I attempted to take the cap off of broke. Thank goodness, I thought, that there was a second lancit. Well, I was able to take the cap off successfully but when I attempted to pearce my finger the lancit was too short. Therefore I had to cut my own finger with a razor blade to draw blood. The rest of the process was easy enough and I sent it off to you.

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).

GBThe 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.

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.

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.
