These are my results, I did call entrolab, but I was wondering how some of you feel if the results are really bad, or somewhat good compared to what you may have seen previously. I would appreciate your comments!!!!

John, your results show very clearly that you're gluten and casein intolerant. They also show that your intestines aren't too damaged yet, as you have no malabsorption yet, which is great.

I am no expert on the genes, somebody else will have to chime in here.

You obviously need to be gluten-free and casein free for life, no question about that.

I absolutely ditto what Ursula said. She's 100% right. You need to be gluten and casein free for life.

Your results are positive for gluten and casein intolerance, but it looks like you caught it early. My results are below. I was gluten-free for 3 months when I took the test and was getting a lot healthier. My absorption was visibly improved in that three month's time (sorry for the visual <_< ), but still tested as 285, barely within range.

So, looks like you need to avoid it, but caught it early. How are you feeling?

I copied just a blip from an article on the main site.

With a double celiac gene it is good that you caught this early. You have just gone over on the ttg for autoimmune response. Malabsorption isn't a problem. Casein is low, but over the limit they have set, which basically means that people have responded to going casein free at these numbers. Your sensitivity is on the low end to, but the reference enterolab uses is that you aren't just a little bit pregnant, you're all the way pregnant. You aren't just a little bit gluten sensitive, (as in being able to cheat), it is a lifetime compliance.

Understanding the Genetics of Gluten Sensitivity by Dr. Scot Lewey

This article appeared in the Summer 2006 edition of Celiac.com's Scott-Free Newsletter.

For example, if you are DQ2/DQ2, DQ2/DQ8, or DQ8/DQ8, a term Scott Adams of www.celiac.com has dubbed a “super celiac” you may be at much higher risk for celiac disease and have more severe gluten sensitivity. Certainly if you are DQ2 and/or DQ8 positive you are at increased risk for celiac disease. After a single copy of DQ2 or DQ8, it appears that DQ7/DQ7 might be next highest risk. Dr. Fine has also noted some other associations of the DQ patterns with microscopic or collagenous colitis, neurologic manifestations of gluten sensitivity and dermatitis herpetiformis, which has been one of the gluten sensitive conditions noted to be, at times, occurring in DQ2, DQ8 negative individuals.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?

      Just wondering can anyone help me out.heading on holidays and don’t really know what expect.if I get glutened are there tablets that you can take

      Does anyone else get soaking wet sweats just out of nowhere? I’m not in menopause, there’s nothing wrong with me except celiac disease and my thyroid, and I’m taking my medicine. I am 18 days gluten-free but I cannot stop sweating and it makes me freezing cold and I’m soaking wet and changing my clothes literally as I’m changing my clothes the new clothes are soaking wet and nobody will help me. Please somebody out there help me.

      Sometimes I end up spitting out a drink of water! But for the most part I do ok with the liquids that I've been sticking to which Is hardly anything carbonated (meaning diet soda mainly)  I drink alot of tea which I make myself lipton cold brew sweetened with half sugar and half Splenda, smoothies when I could in the beginning but made with milk so I'm now using orange juice instead of the milk but it doesn't workout real often I drink black coffee in the mornings with no trouble usually and I've been experimenting with some juices but the sugar content is a set back I'm not a huge water fan but will drink it unfortunately where I live I can't do the tap water I'm the only one who has a problem with it apparently but for some reason I just can't...unless I'm using it in coffee or tea and the tea even took me some time to stand yes I have thought about boost/ ensure but they are very costly for someone who is scrapping the bottom at this time

      Do you believe your swallowing is a manifestation of your neuropathy? I'm thinking if you are having trouble getting food down you need to focus on consuming things that have a high nutritional density so that whatever you are able to get down counts for something. Have you looked at Boost and other high protein/high calorie shake products?  They are fortified with vitamins and minerals as well. Do you have any trouble with aspiration of liquids? For celiac testing purposes, the guidelines are calling for daily consumption of about 10gm of gluten - the amount in about 4-6 slices of bread - in order to ensure valid testing. That sounds like it would be a challenger for you.
