Enterolab Results Back

Well, I got my Enterolab results back. I'm not sure how to interpret things, though. If anyone has insights into this, let me know. Things were positive, which I suppose I expected, though.

________

Gluten Sensitivity Testing

Fecal Antigliadin IgA 24 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 19 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

Microscopic Fecal Fat Score: 67 Units (Normal Range < 300 Units)

HLA-DQ Gene Molecular analysis: HLA-DQB1*0201, 0604

Food Sensitivity Testing

Fecal anti-casein (cow's milk) IgA antibody 22 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

_______

There was also another statement about the genes which I don't understand compared to the molecular analysis statement above:

HLA gene analysis reveals that you have a genotype containing the main gene that predisposes to gluten sensitivity and celiac sprue: HLA-DQB1*0201 (HLA-DQ2) and/or HLA-DQB1*0302 (HLA-DQ8).

______

Does anyone have a clue what all this might mean?

I also appear to have an above normal range results for casein.....I'm wondering if continuing to eat some casein would also do damage to the intestines.

This is sort of depressing overall because if I have to cut out all dairy and all gluten, that's kind of dismal for me. After getting these results my hubby and I went out to dinner and I pigged out on French bread, baked potato w/sour cream, and a strudel dessert. I'll be paying for this tomorrow...and the next day too, probably. I don't know why I did this. Rebellion against the diagnosis perhaps??? :(:(:(

Positive for Antigliadin IgA

Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 19 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

Positive for Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA

Microscopic Fecal Fat Score: 67 Units (Normal Range < 300 Units)

No damage in the intestines yet

HLA-DQ Gene Molecular analysis: HLA-DQB1*0201, 0604

You have DQ2, one of the two main genes for celiac disease

Food Sensitivity Testing

Fecal anti-casein (cow's milk) IgA antibody 22 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

Positive for anti-casein (cow's milk) IgA

This is the blanket response they add to anyone's results who is positive for one of those two genes. I think they are very busy now with lots of people ordering the tests. They used to give a more detailed description. You can go to their website for more detailed info.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      Yes and variations in their sources for natural and artificial flavors could be the culprit as well.  I might be on the more sensitive side, but I do fine with McDonald's fries and burgers if I take the bun off, and other foods that have certified gluten free ingredients and only cross contamination risk preventing the gluten-free certification.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, the yeast could have been cultured on a wheat substrate. But another batch may use a yeast extract cultured on something else that did not contain gluten. These food companies will switch suppliers according to what is the cheapest source at any given time. I take it you are a pretty sensitive celiac.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      The regular cheddar and sour cream Ruffles have yeast extract, which is probably the source of gluten.  Pinpointing the exact cause of gluten exposure is always tricky, but I've come to learn my initial reaction to gluten compared to the ongoing symptoms that will occur days, weeks, and sometimes months later.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, that's probably best. (Honestly, that is an extraordinarily high number, I've never seen anything like that. I repeated my blood tests (not taken while pregnant BTW); before giving up cake, pizza, and beer, I wanted to know for sure! You don't wanna mess around with anything while pregnant. Congratulations and best of luck!

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      Here are the ingredients listed for the regular sour cream and cheddar Ruffles: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola, Corn, Soybean, and/or Sunflower Oil), Maltodextrin (Made from Corn), Salt, Whey, Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Onion Powder, Monosodium Glutamate, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Buttermilk, Sour Cream (Cultured Cream, Skim Milk), Lactose, Butter (Cream, Salt), Sodium Caseinate, Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Skim Milk, Blue Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Lactic Acid, Garlic Powder, Artificial Color (Yellow 6, Yellow 5), Whey Protein Isolate, and Milk Protein Concentrate. CONTAINS MILK INGREDIENTS. Here are the ingredients listed for the baked ones: INGREDIENTS: DRIED POTATOES, CORN STARCH, CORN OIL, SUGAR, MALTODEXTRIN (MADE FROM CORN), SALT, SOY LECITHIN, DEXTROSE, WHEY, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, ONION POWDER, CHEDDAR CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, BLUE CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), CITRIC ACID, ARTIFICIAL COLOR (YELLOW 6 LAKE, YELLOW 5 LAKE, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6), SKIM MILK, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, GARLIC POWDER, LACTIC ACID, DISODIUM INOSINATE, AND DISODIUM GUANYLATE. CONTAINS MILK AND SOY INGREDIENTS   They look a lot the same except for the baked product contains soy. What do you suppose is the hidden source of gluten in the regular Ruffles that is not found in the baked ones? Could you be mistaken in attributing your reaction to the Ruffles? Could it have been from gluten in something else you ate around the same time or even a non-gluten tummy event?
