If you took a blood test and the doctor says it came out normal what does that mean?

Question

I went to the doctor today to see if i have iritable bowel syndrome and the doctor says he wanted to do lab work on me so he took a sample of my blood and sent it to the lab. If my blood test comes out normal what does that mean?

Answer 1

Um....that you're in good health.

Answer 2

I would say it means it came out normal, but that's just me.

Answer 3

If you had Irritable bowel syndrome, it would mean you have a spastic colon. If the colon is hyper, then the little cilia fingers inside will send the food out the r****m without holding onto the nutrients.

The fact that your blood lab numbers look good means you didn't develop any complications associated with IBS like malnutrition.  I hope that helps.

Answer 4

It means that nothing is wrong with you, and there is nothing to be concerned or worried about. You are doing fine.

Answer 5

that you don't have the condition in which he or she tested you for and you readings were good your healthy. YEAH

Answer 6

Not much. Any test has four possibilities: you can have the disease when the test says you do, you can have the disease when the test says you don't, you can be free of the disease when the test says you have it, or you can be free of the disease when the test says you don't. In the case of irritable bowel syndrome, there is no blood test for that illness, so your doctor is checking for things that could mimic it. Since those would be most unusual, the tests will probably be normal; and if the tests were abnormal, it would be at least as likely that the tests were "false positives," that is, showing an abnormality that does not truly exist, as it would that you have something else. These tests are very low-yield in finding pathology, but it isn't a bad idea as a precaution.

Answer 7

If your doctor is a vampire, then it means it tasted good, otherwise it means there was nothing abnormal in your blood, such as high sodium.

Answer 8

It means you have nothing to worry about and you don't have diabetes or high cholesterol and stuff like that.

Answer 9

good health lol :)

Answer 10

Well, it means that everything in your blood is the way it should be and that if your doctor thinks you have it even though the test is normal, other tests might be done, but chances are your fine if it comes out normal.
