Enterolab Results Are In...

I just got my results from Enterolab, and all of my suspicions have been confirmed. I think I'm interpreting them correctly, if not, someone please jump in and put me on the right track.

Antigliadin IgA 32 (normal <10)

Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 32 (normal <10)

Fecal Fat Score 366 (normal <300)

Anti-casein IgA 32 (normal <10)

So I clearly am gluten sensitive and casein sensitive.

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0201

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0302

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 2,3 (subtype 2,8)

Thus, I have 2 copies of the mains genes that predispose me to gluten sensitivity and celiac sprue (are they different?), which means my parents each have at least one and my children have at least one. Should they all be tested? If so, gene tested or blood or stool tested?

I am in a bit of disbelief...partly because I expected these results, but to actually have them confirmed is huge. No more farting around (so to speak). I know what I have to do!

Ya, I spent quite a few days in a daze after Enterolab sent me back my results. Sort of overwhelming at first. I'm glad you are done waiting...so to speak....

I was wondering if you got your results back, I had to really hunt for this post:)

Yeah, they just came in late yesterday morning. Never been so anxious to get an email--you would have thought they were telling me I just won the lottery!

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
