testing for gluten sensitivity?

[Guest guest]

Has anyone used a stool test to detect gluten sensitivity in their

children when the Celiac panel came back negative?

Thanks in advance,

I have brought this new test to the public directly via the internet

in a lab called EnteroLab . This new stool test can detect

antigliadin antibodies in stool whether a person has symptoms or not.

It is ideal for children who do not have to be stuck with a needle.

Samples can be mailed from your home without having to go to the

hospital or a doctor's office. Furthermore, you can decide if you

want to be tested and do not have to beg a doctor to test you for

gluten sensitivity.

Thus, because the antibodies produced as the result of gluten

sensitivity are mainly secreted into the intestine rather than the

blood, analyzing stool turns up many more positive tests than blood

tests. It is only when the immune reaction has been present for long

periods of time and/or the process is far advanced that antibodies

are produced in quantities sufficient to leak into the blood.
