Test Results -- Not Sure What To Do

Below are my results from EnteroLabs. As you can see, only one of my tests came back positive (the Antigliadin IgA). What does this mean? EnteroLabs said I have gluten sensitivity (including a gene for it).

What this doesn't explain is the falling of my cholesterol from a healthy 180 to 122 in about a year. My fecal fat score was "normal" so it's not as if I'm pooping it out.

What do you guys think?

Gluten Sensitivity Stool Test

Fecal Antigliadin IgA 11 Units (Normal <10 Units*)

Stool Test for Autoimmune Reaction to Tissue Transglutaminase

Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 7 Units (Normal <10 Units)

Stool Test for Small Intestinal Malabsorption

Microscopic Fecal Fat Score: 291 Units (Normal < 300 Units)

Stool Test for Dietary Yeast Sensitivity

Fecal Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae IgA 7 Units (Normal <10 Units)

Stool Test for Milk Sensitivity

Fecal anti-casein IgA antibody 8 Units (Normal <10 Units)

Stool Test for Egg Sensitivity

Fecal anti-ovalbumin IgA antibody 9 Units (Normal <10 Units)

Thank you,

Shannon

You need to avoid gluten. 180 cholesterol is healthy? Mine was 210, and doc wasn't satisfied until it was 110. I will have to research it further!

Yes you definately should avoid gluten. For your test to come back elevated on gluten sensitivity there is definately something going on.

plantime-I like the verse with your signature :D

Dessa,

Maybe it was your triglycerides that were high. My triglycerides were only 64. They used to be around 100-110. My total cholesterol used to be 180. Normal is around 180-200. Now it's 122. Cholesterol under 160 is associated with depression and malabsorption (especially falling cholesterol, which is what I have). I'm just confused because although my cholesterol has fallen to 122 (which is quite low), my fecal fat score is "normal."

Nope, everything was fine. I googled cholesterol, and was shocked at what I found! It seems my doc was way overagressive about treating my cholesterol levels. No wonder I got sick from the treatment! She wasn't satisfied until my cholesterol was at a total of 80, but then my triglycerides shot up, so she started telling me to lose weight, immediately! Grrr!! I just won't worry about those numbers!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.
