I am so nervous, it has been 2 weeks since i did the entrolab testing. I keep checking my mail to see if i have the results. I kinda want to see what they say, but im afraid about the casein test, i dont know if i can give up cheese lol. Giving up gluten has not been that hard but to give up cheese, might be the hardest thing i have ever done.

When you all got ur results about what time of the day was it.

With my luck i wont get them back til closer to the 3 week mark lol

Same for me, a little over 2 weeks, but don't remember time of day. I agree, giving up dairy (especially cheese) was harder for me than gluten, but it can be done.

Early afternoon, Pacific time.

You don't say what tests you had done, but I'm guessing you will be positve for antibodies, especially if you are having symptoms. If you had the gene tests done, great...it will either exclude Celiac or

not. Most everyone will have at least one Gluten Sensitive gene marker....

In my case Enterolab "diagnosed" gluten sensitivity...the gene test excluded Celiac and blood tests from my doc also excluded Celiac.

IMO the best test is the gluten-free diet. Although for me it's nice to know I don't have the Celiac gene, it doesn't buy me a whole lot. I still get sick when I eat it and no amount of testing is going to change that. j

I did the complete test. I will be surprised if i dont have the celiac gene. But either way i will not go back to gluten. I am feeling pretty good for the most part.

Since i am the same time zone as texas, i guess mine can be here at any time of the day.

I got them in the afternoon, central time. It came in an email which was a good thing. I didn't realize it was my result so I happily opened it up to find out I was NOT casein intolerant. If it had come in the mail I probably would have left it sealed on the counter for a week before getting the up courage to open it.

Well today was not the day, maybe tommorow, i guess i will have to keep waiting and driving my family crazy. I would be so happy if i came back not casein intolerant. I am not sure what i would do lol

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
