Enterolab

My daughter is 26 months old and we suspect that she has Celiac Disease, though her pediatrician does not agree. I wanted to do the Enterolab testing on her, but I can't find any information regarding age limitations. Does anyone know how old you need to be to have an accurate test result from them? I REALLY don't want to call the company to ask if I don't have to. Thanks in advance for any help.

I wouldn't see any reason for there to be an age limit. You should call or email them to make sure!

They talk about collecting poop from diapers so probably pretty young!

Email them. The lady who answers emails is really sweet. She makes you feel right at home.

The person who answers the phone and emails (Phyllis) is very nice. My youngest is 6 months old and he is too little. If they are eating solids which a 26 month old would be doing then they would have enough stool to be tested. My older son is 3 1/2 and not potty trained yet. They told me I could collect from the diaper. They need 1/2 cup. :blink: If that is not collected from one diaper then the stool is to be frozen and added to. I just ordered tests for my family which is why I know this.

Again, they are very nice and are there to answer any questions you may have. :P

Good luck. :D

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
