Anyone Go Through Enterolab?

I was just wondering: has anyone out there gotten a negitive result back from enterolab? I know that I have some kind of gluten problem, (100%), but I don't know yet if it is full blown Celiac, intolerance, or sensitivity.

I'm just wondering how accurate and specific these tests really are.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi,

I got my results through enterolab and found out I have a celiac marker gene and elevated immune reaction levels. I definitely recommend enterolab - it may not diagnose celiac disease specifically, but it will tell you what kind of sensitivity you have as well as whether or not you have the celiac disease gene. In terms of people having "negative" results, I'm not really sure. My mom got tested through them after I did and discovered that she has a sensitivity, but not the gene for celiac disease and she's changed her diet accordingly. It's worth the money! Good luck!

Thank you. I actually got the Gluten Sensitivity Stool Panel Complete without the gene test because that was like another 150 dollars. But I'm thinking, if I get any positive results for the sensitivity I will order the gene test afterwards. Spending all that money at once is out of my budget, I'm a college student.

How long did it take for your results to come back? And they send them via e-mail right?

I would still recommend getting the gene test when you can afford it. Your genes won't go anywhere, whereas the immune reaction results will change depending on whether you're gluten-free or not. So if you have raised levels from the gluten stool panel, go off gluten and then get the gene test later when you can afford it. You only have to pay for it once, and it will clarify things for you and perhaps even your family. Since my mom has only the gluten sensiticity genes, it's clear that my father carries the celiac gene (and passed it to me), and it's important that he knows the dangers of eating gluten. Who knows whether he'll listen or not (ha ha).

I got my results on a Sunday - it took a little over a week, I think. And yes, they send them via email. I'm curious about your results, so forward them to me if you like! Good luck!

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
