Looking For A Little Input On Test Results...

Hi all,

 

I am new to all of this and trying to work out all the info... I had saliva testing done as well, I have low cortisol, low progesterone, low estrogen (but estrogen is higher than progesterone), and really high testosterone. (I'm a 40 year old female by the way...) I was dx with Hashimoto's about 10 years ago. Here are my Enterolab results:

 

A-2) Gluten/Antigenic Food Sensitivity Stool/Gene Panel

Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 81 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Fecal Anti-casein (cow’s milk) IgA 80 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Fecal Anti-ovalbumin (chicken egg) IgA 32 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Fecal Anti-soy IgA 57 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0301
HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0609
Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,1 (Subtype 7,6)

Fat Malabsorption Stool Test (Fecal Fat)
Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score 1347 Units (Normal Range is less than 300 Units)

-----------------------------------------------------

I'm particularly curious about people's thoughts on the fat malabsorption test and what that means. I am on a gluten free diet (since beg of Nov 2013). I try to limit soy, but should I be completely gluten, dairy, soy, AND egg free? (Yikes.)

 

Thanks for any thoughts and advice...

I can't really offer you any input or conclude anything because (and I do not like to tell this to people)the truth is, Kenneth Fine's testing methods have not been validated or peer-reviewed.

He has yet to publish the results of his research in a mainstream medical journal, so most doctors discount EnteroLab stool testing as a way to diagnose any food intolerances.

In fact, there are no valid tests to diagnose non- celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or any food intolerances as yet.

But he keeps selling the test kits to people. 

Sorry.  :(

Why not go to a doctor and get a celiac blood test? Start from there?

Sorry. Missed the part that you have been gluten-free for a few months. Can't get a reliable celiac test without eating gluten for a few months. I know they are trialling some test that can detect celiac after a few days eating it but it's not out yet.

You don't say why you think eggs, etc bother you. Maybe just eliminate one item for a few weeks and see if it helps?

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
