Enterolab Results

Finally had the enterolab done. My GI doc suspects celiac based on my symtoms, can't tolerate milk but seem ok with lactaid milk. history of anxiety attacks at same time as IBS symtoms started 25 yrs ago (only had one real panic attack, but still seems to have anxiety spells that were random) Do feel much less foggy brained and much less fatigued and much fewer week long 4 hour bouts of bad cramps/D followed by gut paralysis. I do not want to accept this, but I am afraid it is true. I am in denial, I am educated (MD) but I need some people to say YES, STAY AWAY FROM GLUTEN/CAISEN FOREVER and maybe some lecturing. Hmmmppf, sigh.

ok, here are my results:

2007- Promethius celiac panel neg

2010- ditto after being off gluten for a month

Sept 2010- enterolab results after 2 mo of gluten free:

Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 24 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Fecal Anti-tissue Transglutaminase IgA 8 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score 356 Units (Normal Range is less than 300 Units)

Fecal Anti-casein (cow

Hi, you have the main celiac gene, HLA DQ2,5 as it is 0201 in the beta chain.

Now only a few of thse with DQ2 are celiacs, but it is about the risk.

The high fecal fat score is important here, together with teh symptoms and the antibodies.

maybe a normal blood test for tissue transglutaminase will be positive now even though you have been off gluten for a while.

Enterolab does not diagnose Celiac but can give you some valuable answers. My local celiac chapter does support Dr. Fine's test for people who do not show positive on regular testing but their symptoms do resolve on the gluten free diet. Some people need to see that yes they do have the antibodies, malabsorption, or high risk genes to keep them true to their diet. We do see some negative enterolab tests although not often because you usually already know you have a problem with gluten. The negatives are usually when the whole family is done and not everyone has a problem with gluten.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.
