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

I got mine in a little over 2 weeks, late afternoon/early evening.

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

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.
