Had a blood test last week for dx all my symptoms. Phoned surgery today for result and have to go back in 2 weeks for a full blood test. Any experience?

My test last week was for celiac disease, iron, folate and d12 levels.

Probably to see if there changes in the time period. I wouldnt be too concerned about having more blood tests, the more they test, the more they can eliminate and it is better to be tested than not.

Thanks. I wonder why they would ask for a full blood test this time but I only had certain things tested last time?

First blood tests are usually to get a base line, then they do further tests to follow up on what they have or havent found, and a lot of the time it is to eliminate conditions.

Dont worry yourself, it is good they are checking you out

Good luck
