    Still don't have test results....

    Katie had her test on Friday at 11AM. We were told by the lab at Children's Hosp that the peds office would get the results Saturday morning. I called the pediatricians's office anyway early Friday afternoon, and they didn't have them yet. I had my husband call Friday around 5 and then we...

    Are there any medicines that can alter sweat tests?

    How long for sweat test results?

    Katie has her sweat test on April 21 at 10:30 AM. How many of you were able to wait and get the results that day while you were still at the hospital? It's a Friday, and I would like to know rather than wait out the weekend, if possible.

    fecal fat test update

    First I want to thank you for the responses to my posting about my Katie and the tests she's having. Right now, we are no closer to a diagnosis but her GI found fat in her stools on the most recent tests and wants to run another round of stool testing. I spoke to a GI doctor at the Children's...

    fecal fat tests?

    New here with some questions about testing: My 5 year old daughter had a fecal fat test done, and it came back with fat in her stool, so the GI is requesting a 72 hour fecal fat test. She also had a pancreatic elastase-1 test done. The nurse said it was "ok" but wouldn't elaborate. My...
