My Enterolab Tests Are In..

Well, my Enterolab tests results are finally in. (it only took two weeks but seemed like forever) I understand all but the gene testing. Would those of you who are familiar with Enterolab give me your input on my gene testing results. It sounds my 5 year old son would test positive, since I seem to have both genes. Is it common to have both genes? Is it worth testing him or should I just go ahead and take him off the gluten too. As much as I hate to give up dairy, I've been waiting for confirmation on this one. I don't eat alot of dairy but I do LOVE it in my cappucino!!

Fecal Antigliadin IgA 26 (Normal Range <10 Units)

Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 12 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score 45 Units (Normal Range <300 Units)

Fecal anti-casein (cow’s milk) IgA antibody 13 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0301

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0603

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,1 (Subtype 7,6)

Thanks in advance for your input.

we've just been discussing this on another thread. it seems that just about EVERYONE who tests with enterolab is going to test positive for 2 gluten intolerant genes. that only guarantees that your son will have at least one gene(based on your test alone)---which does not gurantee that he will have a problem with gluten----unless you have complete faith in enterolab, in which case, it is almost guaranteed that your son would test positive for gluten intolerance.

Well, I did test positive on the Gliadin IGG/IGA panel that my doctor did, twice. But according to this, I do not have Celiac's only a gluten sensitivity, right? Now, I'm really confused.

gliadin IGA/IGG can be raised by other things than celiac. TTG is a better test for celiac. it is specific for celiac.

Your son would have one gluten sensitive gene anyway. Depends on whether his father has a celiac gene or not. It's really up to you on whether you want to remove gluten from his diet as well.

In my family my husband was the only one without an active sensitivity and he has 2 celiac genes. He went gluten free with the rest of us anyway.

re Enterolab, well I have one friend that tested postive by biopsy & my sister positive via blood test. they are both awaiting their Enterolab results, so yea they might have a celiac or gluten intolerant gene or two at least.

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like your gastroenterologist is becoming increasingly confident that celiac disease is the likely diagnosis based on both your older and newer lab results. Her suggestion to call each Monday for possible cancellations is actually a great strategy—especially given how long the wait is until your August 29th appointment. It’s also a good sign that she’s advocating for you to be seen sooner, which shows she’s taking your case seriously. The fact that some labs might not have been drawn yet due to overlap with your functional health doctor’s upcoming testing adds a layer of confusion, but that’s unfortunately common when multiple providers are involved. Hopefully, the GI’s...

      Worried about being isolated

      Thanks for sharing that film, @trents.  I am not sure how I missed that film as I see it is a few years old, but it is very good.  I think you should be fine if you take your own packed lunch and eat it from your own lunchbox etc.  Might be worth doing a lunchtime recce to see how cramped the room is before making a decision - for all you know, there may be other people  there who don't eat gluten?

      The GI doc messaged me this afternoon that she believes that the new blood work added to the old is definitely  looking like a celiac diagnosis is in my future.  She wants to me to call into scheduling each Monday to see if I can get my August 29th appointment moved up due to cancellations.  I have never had a doctor recommend that.  She also said there were additional labs that she requested still out that have not come back yet; so, they may have been missed drawing those since the functional health doctor has a whole slew of labs that I am suppose to be waiting until August 27th to do. I am still waiting to hear on whether or not she will allow me to do pill prep versus the typical...

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By Alibu · Posted

      Well, I've made if from the pre-diagnosis forum to here!  I've been diagnosed with "latent" or "potential" celiac and my doctor has suggested me to go gluten-free before my appointment with him in October (first available, LOL).  My ttg-iga was 152, my EMA was positive, I have the gene, but my biopsy was negative (and he took 12 samples), so it makes sense to go gluten free to see if I improve. I know the basics - I can find lists of things to avoid, I know about hidden dangers, etc. all of that.  Where I'm struggling is just STARTING.  I need to go shopping and stock up on some staples.  My goal is to not try to find gluten-free alternatives, but to focus on naturally gluten-free foods like...

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you were finally able to see a gastroenterologist—and even luckier to get in the same day as your referral! It sounds like your GI is taking a very thorough approach, which is reassuring given your complex symptoms and history. The confusion around your different tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody results is understandable. The variation between your December and June labs may be due to multiple factors, including differences in the lab performing the test (Quest vs. Mayo Clinic), the specific assay used, and the amount of gluten you had been consuming before each test. Antibody levels can drop significantly when gluten is reduced or eliminated from the...
