My Regular Doctors Office Accepted Enterolab Diagnos

I had to go see my regular doctors office for a sinus infection the other day and I brought my EnteroLab results. The doctor accepted it with no problems. The fact that my heart burn is sooo much better helped too I am sure. Such a relief, I was a little worried about it when I ended up with a negative blood work result there last spring. I saw a different doctor this time and she actually commented on that I was gluten free as I had the tests done and that she had also heard it wasn't rare to get false negatives on them so that was all nice.

Yes it felt very nice. I was almost expecting a battle there.

I got Antibiotics for 10 day (3 times a day). The last year I have had a hard time getting well when I get viruses (I started out with the flu before I got the sinus infection). It probably has to do with my body being busy with the Celiac.

I actually had a doctor who actually recommended Enterolab to me! I'm trying to hang on until June when they will take my insurance. He firmly believes in Enterolab and that there is a whole iceberg under the tip of celiac that includes non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

It's great to be validated. Good for you for taking your results with you!

That is so great! I have felt so bad for so many people who have had to fight with there doctors. I have been so luck. I went in a GP had my gall bladder checked out, then removed. That didn't work so my regular GP sent me to a specialist who's first thing to do was run blood tests. My only complaint was the delivery of the results. She called and said my blood work was back, that I had a wheat allergy and to look up Celiac on the internet and to make a follow up appointment for an endoscope (sp?). I thought "no big deal" and finished cleaning house. Didn't even look anything up for two days. Boy was I shocked!

      Celiac symptoms but negative endoscopy and antibody test + family history of gastro problems

      By NoriTori · Posted

      @trents A gluten intolerance is a real possibility! I never ruled it out, but am keen on finding out the EXACT cause. I'd want testing done again to be sure it's not celiac, or SIBO (which I've considered) or other digestive disorder. Celiac seems the most pertinent considering its implications.

      Thanks so much Scott. I would be incredibly grateful to the gluten gods if eliminating oats was the magic cure. In the meantime, it's nice to have moral support!

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By trents · Posted

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.
