Guest guest Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Good Afternoon - Just wondering if anyone has done the Enterolab tests? I am interested in it since I won’t have to eat gluten for days/weeks to get an accurate blood or biopsy test. Just wondering.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I did... and it showed that I do have both genetic markers..it showed high amounts of undigested fat. etc etc.. the report was quite detailed and as miserable as I was and as great as I feel now.. gluten free.. I do not need anything shoved up my butt or down my throat to tell me otherwise.... I did the blood test after I went gluten free.. It will still show a wheat allergy... mine was 13.8... I am also fatally allergic to peanuts 24.5... CJ --- In , " Deb Matsuoka " <kdmatsuoka@...> wrote: > > Good Afternoon - > > > > Just wondering if anyone has done the Enterolab tests?

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 FYI, Here's a statement from the American Celiac Disease Alliance on stool testing: " There are well accepted criteria for the detection and diagnosis of celiac disease. The tests used to fulfill these criteria have been subjected to scientific scrutiny and validation. To our knowledge tests of antibodies in stool or saliva have not been validated as a robust test for the diagnosis of celiac disease. Many insurance companies base their decision to cover the costs of testing on the scientific evidence that supports the testing of that individual (indication) and the actual test used (validation). Our organization relies on the expertise of its physician members, as well as the recommendations of the: - American College of Gastroenterology; - North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN); - NIH Consensus Panel on Celiac Disease; and - Childrens Digestive Health and Nutrition Foundation for the most current scientifically proven information on the diagnosis of celiac disease. The ACDA promotes awareness and understanding of celiac disease among the general public and to also disseminate scientifically validated information to guide physicians in the detection and management of the disease.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 And yet so many people have been helped on the way to health by these tests. Beware of the politics of healthcare. Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hi Luther! I have, and I love the team over there!! Author Jacquelline Mallorca recommended EnteroLab after I had received a false negative. EnteroLab was an excellent option for me, since I had been avoiding gluten for several months prior to testing. The whole process is a bit icky, but well worth it!! It does take a few weeks as they state, but everyone was always willing to answer any questions that I called or e-mailed with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I had the gene test with Enterolab. It said I'm positive for the celiac gene and some other gene for gluten intolerance. My blood work is negative--I did the gene test because we suspected that my son has celiac (he does). So, I'm not really sure what the gene tests tells me, or would tell anyone, except to satisfy some curiosity.
