Enterolab Results

[mcs12]

I got my Enterolab results back today for gluten sensitivity.

Antigliadin IgA 27 (Normal Range <10 Units)

I guess I am now officially gluten free. I have been following the diet quite strictly for a few weeks, a little less strictly for about a month. After a negative blood test for celiac, its good to have closure. I was quite sure I had a problem, but those doctors sure can be convincing in making you feel like you don't know anything, even your own body. I am hopeful that with more time I will feel much better than I have for the past 4 years or so. I now have hope that the constant bloating, constipation and gassiness will ease. I have felt a little bit better these last few weeks and hopefully I continue to get better. I think dairy may be next to go, since I seem to react to it somewhat. It is a relief knowing, but it's also a bit daunting. This is really it, no more gluten. I know it will be worth it in the long run. BTW, these boards are the best, I don't think I would have ever known about enterolab without it. I would have just accepted my negative bloodwork, continued to eat gluten, and continued being sick. I would not have known that being gluten free can a positive thing. Thank you to everyone here, you are all so supportive and you give great advice. I know I will probably be back with many questions, getting the hang of this isn't easy!

I am glad you finally have proof that you were right about the gluten. I find it hard to trust any doctors, because too many of them appear to be completely clueless about too many things.

Welcome. I wish I had know about Enterolab and celiac.com myself years ago. It isn't easy at first but you'll get it soon. The amount of knowledge and the nice folks on this board are invaluable. I hope you get relief soon.
