Has anyone used this and what are the thoughts about its accuracy?? I had my own test done through Enterolab, but was thinking I could test my 3 kids with the blood tester. It would be much easier than fecal collection kits for 3 young, and not so hip to pooping in the cup, kids.

Hey Kris,

I've never used them, but I have heard many great things about them. They used to be called York Labs (if I remember correctly). Sorry that I don't have much else to offer...but good luck with whatever path you take :)

I used them for food intolerance testing (IGG). For me, the results seemed accurate, but I've heard others here say that there were a lot of false positives. Their customer service is not great at the moment and it takes a long time to get the results back. If you're looking for gluten intolerance testing, I think Enterolab is a better choice.

Don't use them! Optimum Health resources stole my money! It has been almost 4 months and I have not gotten my test results back. Also I have sent them about 10 emails and no reply.

No one answers the phone number provided. I left probably 15 messages over the past couple months and no one ever called back! I can't get in touch with anyone. :(

Now I am left trying to figure out how to get my money back.

Just an update. I still haven't gotten my results or my money back (hundreds of dollars) or any reply from Optimum Health Resources. I sent my test back in November and it is now May.

I called and e-mailed them for months and never received a reply, ever.

I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and they still have not replied. Optimum Health Resources should not be allowed to do business!!

Check the other topics on them in this forum and you will see how many people have similar complaints. :(

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
