Enterolab Testing On Toddler?

[Guest AutumnE]

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!

Thanks

We are going to have to juggle some finances, we are extremely tight right now but Im hopeful to order it this month

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!

does anyone know if enterolab will suplly test kits to the UK? I'm keen to get my DS tested, but don't want to have to do the blood test.

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 .
