Enterolab

Hi. I've some of the Enterolab tests for my son. He's been gluten-free for about 9 months, was doing great but is now having stomachaches again. Also having leg pains again. This had resolved after a few weeks going gluten-free, but now ??? I'm 100% sure he's eating gluten-free (he's terrified of getting glutened). Out of desperation, I've ordered the tests that can tell me about possible gluten in his system, malapsorption and dairy intolerance. Are these accurate tests, or did I just throw away $500? <_< Any advice on what we can expect? Thanks!

I haven't tried Enterolab, but have only heard good things about it.

After initially feeling a lot better, and all my pains going away, I started having a lot of pain again after being gluten free for four months. That is when my other intolerances showed up! Now that my villi had healed quite a bit, my intestines weren't just absorbing the things I could tolerate again, but also the ones I was intolerant to. When I figured out all my intolerances and started avoiding the offending foods, I got better.

So, my guess is, that he might be gluten free, but has other intolerances that cause these problems. Dairy is a likely culprit, but there are many other things that are common problem foods (especially soy).

I have done Enterolab. Just started on the recommended diet 9 days ago. Tests showed gluten and casien intolerance (soy, eggas and yeast were negative), both genes for celiac disease, and no damage done to intestines. I too was warry of the tests but a lot of people have nothing but good things to say about it

I just got results back from Enterlab and basically it just tells you if you are gluten intolerent which if you were sick before a gluten-free diet and now after a gluten-free diet you are not sick...you may have concluded that. I was eagerly waiting for the results and managed to get on a phone with a woman who know Dr. Fine and also know Dr. Peter Greene? who just wrote a comprehensive book on Celica Diease (the Hidden Epidemic). She likes Dr. Fine but had indicated tha there was just not solid scientific backing on stool testing. (meaning: Is everyone who is tested diagnoised with gluten intolerence?) IS there anyone you have heard of that has gotten a negative result back from the lab?

Sorry if I sound negative...I am a bit frustarated now! I am having the same issues with actually KNOWING whether it is an intolerence or Celiac...for insurance reasons and my child's pediatrican questioning me, doubting me.

I am bravely or stupidly going back to a GI that did and endoscopy on me with negative results 3 years ago, hopefully I can question him without going "Hey, buddy! Did you do that endoscopy right?"

Yea, there was an earlier thread about if anyone tested negative from Enterolabs. I have heard of a couple so far.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
