Finally, Enterolab Results!

Well, I finally got my Enterolab results, I'm sure you all know the story, no doctor listens, put on antacids, etc etc. So after almost a year of stomach issues they are all gone in 2 weeks!

Here is what I got:

Gluten Sensitivity Stool Test

Fecal Antigliadin IgA 105 (Normal Range <10)

Interpretation of Fecal Antigliadin IgA: Intestinal antigliadin IgA antibody was elevated, indicating that you have active dietary gluten sensitivity...

As for my med history and symptoms:

-Sensorineural hearing loss diagnosed around age 10

-Always sick with pneumonia, colds, flu, everything I could ever catch

-Childhood Arhtritis

-Tremors noticed at age 13 which still are present

-Vision problems

-Diabetes diagnosed at age 20

-Stomach pains and cramps [started around age 19

-Nausea and vomiting for the past year

-Weakness

-Peripheral Neuropathy diagnosed months after Diabetes dx

-Foggy mind

-Memory problems

-Excessive anxiety and on and off depression for years

-Facial rash in the past few months after ingesting and vomiting gluten

-Protruding left rib which I still have no answer for

I could not do a Celiac test, but I can pretty much assume there IS intestinal damage.

I'm just glad I could finally find some answers, now i'm taking these results to my doctor who never listened, I know he will deny I have a problem but I have to show them.

I am glad you finally figured it out, and are starting to feel better. That IgA is awfully high, for sure. It will take a while to get that down to normal levels, but be diligent on the gluten-free diet, and it will happen.

I'm glad you finally found some answers. Your doctor may not believe you now but he will after you have healed and you hardly ever need to see him anymore. I hope you get relief soon, it does take a while to heal for some of us.

Yes indeed it seems like it will take time, at least I am not having nausea anymore, which I had had for months and months and am not throwing up anymore of course, which I'm very happy about! What I'm having a hard time with is baking hehe I'm still not used to baking with these different flours and my breads come out hard like rock hehe but I"ll get a hold of it eventually.

Yea the baking is tough at first. Bette Hagman has some good cookbooks and there are also gluten free flour mixes which make it less like being a chemist. There are some good premade baked goods out there, it's hard though because some are pricey and if you don't like them oh well. Things do get easier. I'm glad your already seeing some progress.

TO,

The bread making is difficult. There are so many ingredients. I make a big batch of flours/starches blend ( half & half) and that saves a lot of time and confusion come baking time.

Make some muffins. Throw lots of stuff in there. Use the paper cups. You can get the muffin making down faster than the bread. Take 'em out of the pan, let 'em cool on a wire rack, then wrap them individually, put 'em in a freezer bag, and take one to work every day to heat up in the microwave as a snack. I've been making banana nut buttermilk, with butter, cinnamon, & turbanado sugar sprinked on top.

best regards, lm

I'll definitely try the muffins, I'm sure they're much easier to cook than bread :D

Which are the best flours to cook with? I've bought many different flours which I still have in my pantry, so far I"ve tried White Rice Flour, Brown Rice Flour, Potato Flour, Soy Flour, and White Lentils Flour [urid Flour]. They are all much heavier it seems.

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.
