Enterolab Test Results

[christybehling]

Can someone help with interpreting these? I'm a little confused; at what level are you considered to be sensitive to something they tested? 

 

A-1) Gluten/Antigenic Food Sensitivity Stool Panel

Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA      14 Units   (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Fecal Anti-casein (cow’s milk) IgA      176 Units   (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Fecal Anti-ovalbumin (chicken egg) IgA      23 Units   (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Fecal Anti-soy IgA      52 Units   (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

I would say that there are not many people on this forum that are versed in Enterolab's results, because they are doing their own thing with regard to the methods they use to make a gluten sensitivity diagnosis, in comparison to the standard blood tests for celiac disease:

Have you tried contacting them to help you understand what this means, and what you should do?

To me it looks like you have some food sensitivity issues, and with regard to changing your diet you may want to continue eating gluten and get a celiac disease blood panel. A blood test, possibly followed by a biopsy, is the only official way of diagnosing celiac disease.

Another approach would be to eliminate those foods, keep a food diary, then add them back slowly after a few weeks.

Having a "sensitivity" to gluten is not the same as having Celiac Disease. Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder that is triggered by gluten ingestion. It's not a sensitivity, an allergy or an intolerance.
