I want to get my daughter tested but she isnt potty trained. I looked over their website to see if I could find anything about diaper materials messing up the test and couldnt find anything. I hope someone might be able to answer me here before contacting the company.

Thanks :)

Diapers don't mess with it. You just take it out of their diaper and put it in a bucket-type thing to send it in.

Thanks so much for the quick answer :) So far she has no symptoms but it took myself many years before obvious signs and had little things throughout my life. Im going to have the gene tested also, she doesnt really eat much gluten by her choice but she does have some.

My son wasn't potty trained either when we did the Enterolab testing. No, the diaper doesn't skew the results. You need to collect at least 1c for the the stool sample. The Enterolab kit comes with directions. Good luck!

When my son was an infant, his GI doc performed several stool tests of his own, they suggested I line the diaper with clear suran wrap. At times this was nasty and nearly impossible due to the extreme amount of big D my lil guy was having, but I guess if your child isn't having diarrhea, the diaper won't soak it up as it did with my sons, so doing this isn't needed (brain is just waking up lol) but I'll go ahead and post this out there as an idea for those who need samples but child has diarrhea. :-)

Good luck with the testing, I would like to have both of my kids tested through Enterolab... some day maybe!

Kristie- thanks for the info, so far no diarrhea but that information I am sure will benefit someone reading about it.

Susie- Im not sure, I just did a quick search on the website and didnt find anything listed, there is a contact spot on the website to email questions though. Good Luck, I feel the same about the bloodwork. Plus since she isnt having any signs of it Im sure our insurance wouldnt pay for it .

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Is Toblerone Gluten-Free?

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.
