Pa Recommended Enterolab!

Yesterday my 6 year old (Celiac) daughter had pre-anesthesia testing as she has to undergo another EGD on Friday morning. She's 100% compliant with the gluten-free diet, but something still isn't "right" and they are trying to rule out and/or find other issues.

While discussing her issues with the physician's assistant, I was asked about my GI issues. I explained how I had the "questionable" blood tests and a negative endoscopy. She asked if I'd ever had the gene testing. When I said that I'd been considering it, she jumped right in with her "approval" for Enterlab and their ability to determine whether or not one carries the genes. She said, "No genes... No Celiac, but that doesn't mean no intolerance." It made me so happy to hear a medical professional make that statement. =)

So, I've ordered the gene testing. I'm *very* interested in the results. I'm hoping that if I do have the genes, I can convinced my mother and sister to have the testing done as well. *fingers crossed*

Thanks for posting this, I needed something to cheer me up today. What wonderful news about the PA, hopefully the majority of the med professionals will start to see it's validity as a diagnostic tool.

I hope everything went well with your DD's endo and that they figure out what is going on.

I wasn't going to post because I didn't think it would be a "big deal." And, judging from the fact that there are numerous views and only one response, I think I was right. But, since I made one person happy... I'm glad I posted.

I really was shocked when I heard positive remarks about Enterolab, as thus far... none of our doctors have had anything nice, at all, to say about their tests.

My MD is very positive about Enterolab. He said clinically he has seen so many patients helped who have gone off gluten due to a positive Enterolab. He said he has had a lot of kids haven endoscopies, but not even one has come back with a positive, but still have a great dietary response.

He really respects Enterolab and said that they have consistently used it in their practice and found it very accurate.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Tyoung · Posted

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Confused with test results

      By Captain173 · Posted

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      Anyone Got Sick From Canola Oil?

      By gailc · Posted

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.
