What Is Enterolab?

[bumblebby]

I see "Enterolab" in many people's siggies.

Is this a specific lab? A specific test your doctor orders?

Maybe I haven't heard of this because I am in Canada?

It is a stool test that you can order yourself that tests for gluten and other intolerances. I am not sure if you can order it in Canada. You can find out about it at www.enterolab.com.

Enterolab is a private lab in the US run by Dr. Kenneth Fine that does stool testing for celiac-related antibodies as well as other food intolerance antibodies and celiac and gluten intolerance gene testing. Many doctors do not use the lab, nor support his work, because it hasn't yet been peer reviewed, but there is research that suggests his methodology is valid and possibly better than blood serum testing.

Does he give an explanation for not having peer review? Being a scientist, I am incredibly suspect of anyone who would conduct science and choose not to have their research validated thru peer review.

I just talked to them a few days ago. He is working on releasing a study. He did not want his results released until his study was finished, by what I understand. His work is surpassing the blood tests apparently and one day may become the new gold standard. I am only reporting what was told to me, just was tested by them and am awaiting my own results, after being diagnosed with celiac 6 years ago.
