Waiting For Enterolab

Hi Everyone.

I WAS logged in (I thought) as "Laferriere", but as I am machine and computer incompatible, something went VERY wrong and I haven't been able to write in for weeks! Well, now I've changed my log-in name and, hopefully, have figured this out. I thought I would post when I got the results from the Enterolab testing. I, too, have some reservations with the authenticity of Dr. Fine, but I decided to go ahead anyway. I hope to have the gene-testing and other tests back maybe next week. I have scientists in my family-Dad, Uncles, cousins- and know that peer review is essential to good science. If anyone can point the way to more info on Dr. Fine, that'd be great. Thank you all again for your posts. 3 months gluten-free and still nowhere near symptom-free. But MUCH better overall. Still trying to figure it all out. This gluten/food thing is truly an odyssey!

Thank you. I don't know what a "CV" is, but I'll try to find out. I have been to his website.

It's the abbreviation for the latin words that basically mean resume. I'd try to write out the latin words, but I'm sure I'd butcher the spelling of them!!

Don't feel stupid, until last year, I didn't know what it meant either. My results took less than two weeks.

They say they will have them back to you within three weeks...I think our was only two weeks (maybe only 1 1/2 weeks) since we got them back a week earlier than we thought we would.

I haven't gotten mine yet. :(

It's been 2 weeks tomorrow.

I'm getting impatient! I feel like the Jeopardy theme should be running in the background!

Thanks, All...yes, I am anxious just to have some more info-maybe. It will be officially 3 wks on July 26, so I guess I should just breathe. Having a very bad week this week and can't find the hidden gluten. Has anyone ever had intestinal reaction to waxed dental floss or suntan lotion?

No, have you been grilling out? I've had reactions to charcoal! Could you have a problem with dairy or soy? I was looking for the hidden gluten and discovered dairy. Keep reading and rereading all your products till you feel better. You'll keep finding stuff that has gluten.

Actually, Carla, I brought my food to my Mom's birthday barbecue, (this was Sat. the 15th) but decided to go ahead and be brave and eat a couple of roasted zucchini with salt and balsalmic vin. Things were okay that night, but not good since. Last night was THE WORST since April- just about every symptom back. Nights are the worst for me-usually after 2 AM. It's not good 'cause I never really rest! Maybe the barbecue was a bad idea, although I didn't have more than three thick slices of zuc. I am very frustrated and discouraged- I was doing a lot better. Does this happen?

Sounds normal. I've been gluten-free for seven months and just got glutened last Friday. My brain-fog let up enough today to do some filing and balance the checkbook, but my energy certainly isn't where it could be.

Be sure to read balsamic vinegar's label. I believe that some of it might have flavorings if it's not real balsamic ... someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also, balsmaic vinagraitte dressing often has soy sauce in it (I read several recipes for it on the internet and discovered this).

Don't get discouraged. It will happen less often as you go on.

Shoot - I get balsamic vinagarette all the time. Maybe this is why I've been feeling yucky recently... Thanks for posting.

I also heard somewhere that some charcoals are made from partical-board type woods, which contain glue, which in turn can contain gluten... I always use foil when BBQing. My mum says that some charcoals will say on the package if it's made from "pure" wood or not, but I haven't actually checked this out myself.

Thanks, Carla- I know from reading this board that all of you seem to have ups and downs- I guess it's the going right back to the beginning that scares me. AND when I can't be sure of the source. I knew the basalmic was iffy and my sister had it in a container, not the original jar, so... I'm trying not to get depressed again. Thank you for your encouragment.

btw, CV = ciriculum vitae, generally used for scientific researchers, professors, and practicing doctors whereas everyone else uses 'resume'

Natural charcoal is okay and not hard to find. It's actually easier to light, but doesn't burn as long, so be ready when you light it!

Newmans Own Balsamic Vinagrette is gluten-free and Dairy Free. It is good and should be widely available.

Carla and all,

Thank you again for your posts. I did just get the Enterolab results and while I don't have the two celiac genes- Yay!- I have two genes predisposing to gluten sensitivity and apparently the Antigliadin shows I'm still reacting to gluten as of two weeks ago! So I guess I haven't found all the places it's hiding. They say because I got one gene from each parent so I gave one to all (both) my kids. So I guess they'll know and I'll know to pay attention to that. Yesterday I cut out a few more things- a ginger spice that I can't get confirmation of gluten-free and some candied ginger (my only sweet!) It was a better day but I'm very hungry and I can't afford to lose any weight. Carla, I've seen you post that Ruffles potato chips are okay. I stopped Cape Cod because I realized they have corn oil and I'm not eating corn. I'm scared to try anything new right now- particularly processed food of which I eat almost none except the chips and my rice cereal. I'm going on... Take care all and good health to all!

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.
