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!

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
