What Is Enterolab?

I see "Enterolab" in many people's siggies.

Is this a specific lab? A specific test your doctor orders?

Maybe I haven't heard of this because I am in Canada?

It is a stool test that you can order yourself that tests for gluten and other intolerances. I am not sure if you can order it in Canada. You can find out about it at www.enterolab.com.

Enterolab is a private lab in the US run by Dr. Kenneth Fine that does stool testing for celiac-related antibodies as well as other food intolerance antibodies and celiac and gluten intolerance gene testing. Many doctors do not use the lab, nor support his work, because it hasn't yet been peer reviewed, but there is research that suggests his methodology is valid and possibly better than blood serum testing.

Does he give an explanation for not having peer review? Being a scientist, I am incredibly suspect of anyone who would conduct science and choose not to have their research validated thru peer review.

I just talked to them a few days ago. He is working on releasing a study. He did not want his results released until his study was finished, by what I understand. His work is surpassing the blood tests apparently and one day may become the new gold standard. I am only reporting what was told to me, just was tested by them and am awaiting my own results, after being diagnosed with celiac 6 years ago.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
