Enterolab

Just wanting an opinion. I ordered the Screening test for gluten sensitivity (Fecal antigliadin IgA antibody*) from Enterolab. I sent it to them. I ordered that one because I can't really afford to order all the tests. I am hoping that would be the one most likely to let me know if I might have celiac disease. Can someone tell me what they think if I wasted my money it was 99 plus 20 for shipping. Thanks Linda

I just ordered the full panal. I can't afford it but... I was reading a few posts and more than one person said they were satisfied with the testing results. If you do take the results to your doctor, they'll want to order their own tests anyway.

Hi and welcome. It was so worth it for me. I cannot speak highly enough of Enterolab. I couldn't afford it either, really who wants to spend money like that if it is for nothing, but they are reliable and if you have questions about your results, they email you an answer pretty quick. I found them to be very professional and right on target with me. I shudder to think what condition I would be in if I hadn't found them. Take care and good luck to you.

Thank you both for your replies.

Linda, you definitely didn't waste your money, at least when you get the results, you'll know one way or the other. They appear to be very reliable and very professional. The stool test is a lot more sensitive than either the blood test or the scope for gluten intolerance.

I highly recommend enterolab and you won't be disappointed. I had my whole family tested and we didn't really have the money either. I am so glad we did because we found out that 3 of 4 of us have active gluten intolerance. We didn't go through a doctor or anything, just had testing done based on my allergy tests and curiosity. It is well worth the expense. The IgA will tell you whether you have active gluten intolerance. They can't diagnose celiac, but the two are pretty much the same, gluten-free for life.

Hi Linda,

I think the test you ordered was the best one to get if you don't want to spend much. It is the one that will tell you whether your body is reacting. The gene test is more for additional info. It doesn't tell you whether your body is reacting at this time. It is expensive, I just did several tests on myself. But I believe the insight it provides is so valuable, I have ordered tests for my children now. I justify it financially because it can alter our lives. I have also been very happy with the staff at EnteroLab. I have called a couple of times now with questions and each time someone answers and politely helps me.

Robbin,

My mother told me I was born 95% allergic ..to most everything. I think I outgrew most of them but I shudder to think the testing that would be involved to find all my allergies. Nothing causes a life threatening reaction with me so that is the reason that I haven't been tested before. Now, I'm having stomach problems and I accidently noticed it worsened after eating wheat. First it was only from whole grain bread, now I get some symptoms even from white bread and oats. My weight being up was another suspect symptom.

I wanted to know if you read the Paleo Diet ? This doc thinks people shouldn't eat grains, dairy or legumes. Our ancestors didn't eat these things. It's pretty good read.

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Jack Common · Posted

      Hello! I'm doing a gluten challenge now. I don't know how much bread to eat. There are 4-6 slices of bread a day suggested in most articles. But one slice of bread can be 25 grams or 40 grams. So when it's 25, six slices are just 150 grams. When it's 40 grams, six slices are 240 grams. The difference is huge in my opinion. Can someone recommend the dosage?

      In what way? Skinese:  You paid for it, might as well try.  They are the usual mix and is gluten free. "Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives."   Are you using whole milk yogurt or the no fat yogurt.  The no fat has varius ingrediEnts to mimic fats texture but some people react to the  gums used.   Sibo: Foods that do not contain carbohydrates or fiber do not usually cause problems. This includes meats (beef, pork, lamb, venison); poultry (chicken, turkey, duck); fish and shellfish; eggs; and butter, oils, and hard cheeses. Stonyfield Whole milk yogert, I think, is the only one with lactase for lactose intolerance.  Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] For your skin health you need dietary iodine intake around 500 to 1000 micrograms a day.  I take Liquid Iodine 500 mcg a day.  It is the amount I ate daily in the 1960/s before they stopped using it in bread.  Since 1970 the daily intake of iodine has decrease 50%.  50 mcg/drop in the brand I use.  The dose used to prove Wolff-Chaikoff Effect was upwards of 11 grams The USDA lists the safe range from 125 mcg to 1000 mcg (1 gram).  Japanese say 3000 mcg is safe.  Look at tradition japanese hair, skin, and their childrens intellegence.  They must be doing something more right than us.

      FASANO DIET - not Dasani. For some reason, it is not allowing me to edit my post.

      Yes, she should be eating lots of gluten daily...4 slices of wheat bread would be ideal for the screenings.

      Antibodies went up

      By Barcino · Posted

      Hello,  I cant get my daughter's TTG IGA antibodies to drop into the normal range. A bit of the backstory : both my kids were diagnosed in July of 2023. Both were >250 at diagnosis.  My son went from >250 July 2023  to 33 Nov 2023  to 15.7 July 2024. With <15 being negative. He is almost there.  My daughter went >250 July 2023 to 66.3 Dec 2023 to 31.7 July 2024 to now back up to 35.6.  We are a fully gluten free house and we do not eat out AT ALL in any restaurants other than one dedicated gluten-free bakery. We don't eat any oats. She takes anti epileptic drugs / vitamins so we are double checking all medications and supplements. One medication says they should be gluten free but cant guarantee excipients aren't contaminated so we will be changing that one to a different manufacturer.   Feeling a little worried that her levels are worse and we cant get her into the normal range. We are thinking about cutting dairy or doing the Dasani diet. She doesnt eat a crazy amount of processed food and what she has in gluten free certified and not made in shared lines but maybe we should cut it all out until her levels drop? Any other advice? We will check all personal products also, but we believe everything is gluten free. My son is away at school so trying to figure out what she does and eats that he doesnt. Chickpeas (canned), dairy (he doesnt eat much dairy due to acne) and of course her medications.   Thank you for any input you may have.
