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!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
