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.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
