Pointing to the correct way is difficult. :o

The process is fun, the important are the results, to get your life back, and begin the healing process.

Have fun collecting, and freezing it.

Take care ;)

Just put it in the freezer until the pickup guy comes. If you work outside the home then put it in the freezer overnight and then package it up and call for pickup.

Since you're in the US they won't call you for customs.

Doing the Enterolab sample thing for me was vastly funny. I took my sample... all wrapped up in 18 ways and disguised, with me to work and stored it in the freezer there until I could drop it off at the DHL place. I was sweating bullets someone would find it and investigate it, thinking it was a treat...

When I had mine done they used DHL. If they've changed to UPS then I don't know. Should be on the instruction sheets.

We had our results in 2-3 weeks.

ok I'm gonna have my 3 yr old do a stool test for dairy, how much poop is needed for 1 test?

He's severely constipated so getting a good stool can take time.

OMG!

I had no idea as well. I will defiantly have to do some kind of disguise give it a differnent kind of smell. My husband in his past life was a Koon Hound he can sniff any thing out. When i pass gas he can tell me what i had for lunch lol. I guess that I'll have so to save meat wrapper from Albertsons I know he wouldnt touch it because he does not cook. LOL half the time he does not know that our dinners are Gluten Free until I tell him.

If I remember correctly it was about 1/2 cup.....if they were still in diapers. If not, I assume it's the same but I'm not sure. :unsure:

No liquid so you mean I cant give the grossest poo that they have ever seen. Are you talking about D, or whatever might collect from the frezzer like ice that may collect in the bag and melt on the way.

If it's D then it's D. Don't worry about it.

what happens if it takes all day and you still don't have a half cup? Do you keep trying until you do? I am serious my son has severe constipation and often only has streaks or small smears in his diaper days in a row.

Would you freeze what you have inbetween and put it all together?

How many days are you allowed to collect for????

I don't think they specify how long. As long as it's frozen it should be fine. Just keep adding to the container until you think you have 1/2 cup.

Ok so if you have constipation for that day then they can still test it. I guess they can it still comes from the same source.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
