INITIAL APPOINTMENT:

During a 15-20 minute session at our practice, our dedicated nurses will efficiently collect essential blood samples, specifically for:

• Genetic testing of human leukocyte antigens (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8).

• Genetic testing for these antigens is crucial in diagnosing or ruling out celiac disease. Testing before altering your diet is vital, as starting a gluten-free diet may skew the test results, making them appear normal.

FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENT:

Following your initial visit, a follow-up phone appointment with a GP within 7-10 working days will be arranged. This 15-minute appointment allows one of our experienced GPs to discuss the results with you over a phone call.

Additionally, a detailed breakdown of the results will be emailed to you for your reference and understanding.

If you have any questions please contact our practice on 01253 207568 or info@fyldeprivategp.com.
