Hello Christtheking,

Thank you for your post. I haven't used Enterolab but am seriously considering it. I've been through the gamut of tests including a colonoscopy, fluoroscopy. blood tests, etc. to rule out everything but IBS. My celiac blood tests came back normal, but I feel that I have either gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.

My husband won't be thrilled about paying for the lab fees at Enterolab, but I think he'll be willing to do it - I'm just afraid they'll also come back negative.

Peace to you and keep me posted on your progress,

New Yrs BB

Dear New Yrs BB,

Get the test. Tell your husband that insurance will cover it. Usually they will because preventative measures are always better for them. i.e. they discover your disease so they will not have to shell out thousands later because it went undiagnosed. Get the test and call your insurance to see it they will cover it. Usually they will.

1. Is it helpful to be partially gluten-free but not 100% to gain benefit or is this an all or nothing diet?

2. How long should it take to feel 100% back to normal.

3. Can any one recommend a good book on how to be 100% gluten-free?

4. Remember please share your experiences with Enterolab. Personally I

New YrsBB---Spend the money and go with Enterolab.....I did and it was the best money I have spent medically. I had a blood test at the doctor's office that came back negative/with a phone call from the nurse!!! Enterolab sent me the test, I did exactly as they asked, sent it back overnight express, and had my results in less than two weeks (they say 3-4). The results come via email and are comprehensive and complete enough for me. I tested gluten and casein intolerant. I bought the complete test with gene testing too. As I have a granddaughter that has celiac disease and this is quite heriditary, we wondered where she got it......it was me. I now eat gluten-free/cf exclusively, it is a way of life for me. I had a kind of jump up on things as I have been cooking and baking for her for five of her six years of life. You should see her, she is amazing. Get Betty Hagman's cookbook, it is the best one. Best wishes,

Barbara

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      vitamin D levels in obsessive-compulsive disorder "The number of participants with vitamin D insufficient ... and vitamin D deficiency ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly higher than the control group... and also the number of participants whose vitamin D levels were in the normal range ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly lower than the control group." Low vitamin D iscommon in Celiac Disease patients. Also no lithium in drinking water (bottled water) or in areas with low ground water Lithium contributes to anxiety. Association between naturally occurring lithium in drinking water and suicide rates The EPA calculated a provisional oral reference dose (p-RfD) of 2 μg/kg-day using the Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value   https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-11/ucmr5-technical-fact-sheet-lithium-in-drinking-water.pdf Should we all take a bit of lithium?! Raising my vitamin D to 80 ng/ml and taking 5 mg a day of Lithium Orotate for a few month helped me.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      After 3 months without gluten he will have healed and his blood tests will be negative. That does not mean "not celiac, ok to eat wheat, rye and barley again.  It does mean the diet is working.  Many of those recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease are often deficient in vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals.  It's a side effect called Malabsorption.  Get his blood checked for 25(OH)D level to be sure.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yeah, but that's probably not where you want to eat, anyway.

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.
