Testing Questions

[kalanfan]

So i went to the doctor.....another useless appointment.....im trying to get a allergy panel test done...my doctor wont order the kit.....i found a naturo pathic docter that will but its loads of money and not covered by insurance.....So my first question is what has anyone here heard about us biotek labs? good and bad i want to know if its worth the cash (p.s. i want the test because being gluten-free slowed the diarehha but didnt get rid of it....so im thinking there has to be something else....)

Secondly my doctor gave me another blood test to try....he says its the newest one its and anti endomysial antibody test.....i asked him if it was a test for celiacs or for a gluten sensitivity.....he talked his way around the question and im left with the sheet in my hand and my original question still lingering.....we've established that i dont have any damaged celia.....is this test for me?

thanx

I had allergy testing done by us biotek. I was satisfied with them. See sig for anything that mid around mid-low to low-high. I had numerous veggies just over the line into low that I didn't list and still eat for the most part. It was what alerted me to my wheat and soy problems which I later tested intolerant to through enterolab. It is pricey but would be quicker than an elimination diet, depends on what your looking for.
