Enterolab Testing

[sore joints]

I'm wondering if any of you Canadians (esp. in Ontario) have taken their Enterolab tests to either their family physician or G.I. and if so what sort of response they received. I have results (positive) for both my daughter and myself and I'm worried that these doctors are going to think I'm crazy! Thanks

hi there, im just wondering how you shipped the samples back to them fast enough, i ordered my kit today, and wondering, i would imagine it would depend on your doc i have a pretty open minded one so hopefully if anything comes back he will accept them.

You have to ship your samples back by overnight courier. It won't be cheap, but necessary.

Personally, I wouldn't care if any doctor approves of it. I am thinking of having my youngest daughter tested by Enterolab some time this year (when I can afford it). And since MDs are so ignorant about celiac disease anyway, I'd either take her to my naturopathic doctor, or just put her on the gluten-free diet and supervise her myself, it isn't like I couldn't handle that.

I mostly agree .. approval doesn't matter but how you present it does...

If he/she accepts them fine if not...

I have these tests

Erm yep but we don't really accept thopse tests

OK, so what don't youi accept about them

<answer irrelevant>

OK, so I am ill, I eat gluten and I become more ill, I stop and I get better... I have these tests you don't accept but haven't explained - what are we going to do about it...

You have public healthcare, your DR has a duty... if the oral approach doesn't work then send a letter...

Hi,

I live in Ontario and I recently had testing done through Entrolab. My family doctor put it in my file and refered me to a GI doctor. My daughter has biopsy confirmed celiac, so that may have helped. She didn't give much comment on her thoughts of the results. I was off the charts with Entrolab and IGG positive, IGA top end of normal with bloodwork here.
