Enterolab

Just wanting an opinion. I ordered the Screening test for gluten sensitivity (Fecal antigliadin IgA antibody*) from Enterolab. I sent it to them. I ordered that one because I can't really afford to order all the tests. I am hoping that would be the one most likely to let me know if I might have celiac disease. Can someone tell me what they think if I wasted my money it was 99 plus 20 for shipping. Thanks Linda

I just ordered the full panal. I can't afford it but... I was reading a few posts and more than one person said they were satisfied with the testing results. If you do take the results to your doctor, they'll want to order their own tests anyway.

Hi and welcome. It was so worth it for me. I cannot speak highly enough of Enterolab. I couldn't afford it either, really who wants to spend money like that if it is for nothing, but they are reliable and if you have questions about your results, they email you an answer pretty quick. I found them to be very professional and right on target with me. I shudder to think what condition I would be in if I hadn't found them. Take care and good luck to you.

Thank you both for your replies.

Linda, you definitely didn't waste your money, at least when you get the results, you'll know one way or the other. They appear to be very reliable and very professional. The stool test is a lot more sensitive than either the blood test or the scope for gluten intolerance.

I highly recommend enterolab and you won't be disappointed. I had my whole family tested and we didn't really have the money either. I am so glad we did because we found out that 3 of 4 of us have active gluten intolerance. We didn't go through a doctor or anything, just had testing done based on my allergy tests and curiosity. It is well worth the expense. The IgA will tell you whether you have active gluten intolerance. They can't diagnose celiac, but the two are pretty much the same, gluten-free for life.

Hi Linda,

I think the test you ordered was the best one to get if you don't want to spend much. It is the one that will tell you whether your body is reacting. The gene test is more for additional info. It doesn't tell you whether your body is reacting at this time. It is expensive, I just did several tests on myself. But I believe the insight it provides is so valuable, I have ordered tests for my children now. I justify it financially because it can alter our lives. I have also been very happy with the staff at EnteroLab. I have called a couple of times now with questions and each time someone answers and politely helps me.

Robbin,

My mother told me I was born 95% allergic ..to most everything. I think I outgrew most of them but I shudder to think the testing that would be involved to find all my allergies. Nothing causes a life threatening reaction with me so that is the reason that I haven't been tested before. Now, I'm having stomach problems and I accidently noticed it worsened after eating wheat. First it was only from whole grain bread, now I get some symptoms even from white bread and oats. My weight being up was another suspect symptom.

I wanted to know if you read the Paleo Diet ? This doc thinks people shouldn't eat grains, dairy or legumes. Our ancestors didn't eat these things. It's pretty good read.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
