Need Help With My Mom's Enterolab Results!

I'm sorry for asking another Enterolab question! I've read a bunch of past questions & replies and I'm still confused. :)

I was diagnosed with celiac in Feb '06 (not through Enterolab) and I finally talked my mom into getting tested as well (she has a history of autoimmune thyroid problems like I do)... I told her about Enterolab since I had read a lot about it on here. So she had the complete panel done, and now we're just trying to interpret the results.

She is rather skeptical about these results, and is hesitant to give up gluten (and casein/soy too I guess) since she isn't having any obvious symptoms right now. So I guess my questions are:

* Do these results reflect that intestinal damage is already occuring?

* What do the gene results mean?? I've read the information from Enterolab on interpreting the results, and I still can't figure out how to explain it to my mom in a clear, concise way. Help!!

Thank you all in advance!

Basically she has one celiac gene (dq3 subtype 8) and one gluten sensitive gene (dq1 subtype 6).

She has an active sensitivity for gluten, dairy, and soy as you noted. She also has an autoimmune reaction and mild malabsorption.

I am one that didn't really have obvious symtoms either. Going gluten, dairy and soy free for me cleared up some joint pains I had been having and I now have a mild reaction when glutened. I am fastidious about soy so don't know what kind of reaction I would have with that. All three can cause damage to the intestines and the low malabsorption shows some damage, although it would be hard to say which one or if all are contributing.

      Muscle atrophy in legs

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Polymyositis is a rare autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack your muscles. Any autoimmune disease is associated with low vitamin D.   Even as a kid I had weak legs.  Now I feel the burn just walking to the mailbox. A case-control study found that patients with polymyositis (PM) had higher lactate levels at rest and after exercise, indicating impaired muscle oxidative efficiency. The study also found that an aerobic training program reduced lactate levels and improved muscle performance.

      Micronutrient Inadequacies in the US Population "A US national survey, NHANES 2007-2010, which surveyed 16,444 individuals four years and older, reported a high prevalence of inadequacies for multiple micronutrients (see Table 1). Specifically, 94.3% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D, 88.5% for vitamin E, 52.2% for magnesium, 44.1% for calcium, 43.0% for vitamin A, and 38.9% for vitamin C. For the nutrients in which a requirement has not been set, 100% of the population had intakes lower than the AI for potassium, 91.7% for choline, and 66.9% for vitamin K. The prevalence of inadequacies was low for all of the B vitamins and several minerals, including copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc (see Table 1). Moreover, more than 97% of the population had excessive intakes of sodium, defined as daily intakes greater than the age-specific UL" My Supplements: Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg  (Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels in the body decrease steadily with age, reaching 10–20% of young adult levels by age 70. DHEA is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that the body uses to create androgens and estrogens.) 500 mcg Iodine 10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg Selenium twice a week 200 mcg

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      The paleo diet is based on the idea that the human body evolved to consume a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and that the modern diet is out of balance. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1–4:1, while the modern diet is closer to 20:1–40:1. The paleo diet aims to restore this balance.

      Hey all!

      Best thing you can do for them! First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease. Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet.   Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental problems in children, including implications on reproductive functions and lowering of IQ levels in school-aged children. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population.

      Thanks. I ve joined coeliac uk but found them particularly unhelpful - they told me to eat gluten for 6 weeks then have an  endoscopy! I m actually a retired hospital dietician so pretty well know what I m doing…… Louise
