Casein And Soy Testing, How Reliable

How accurate or reliable are the Casein and Soy sensitivity testing from enterolab?

For those who don't like this lab can you suggest another one that will tell me if casein or soy is causing problems for me/family member via a stool test.

I was tested for casein and tested positive.

I eliminated dairy for 6 months and saw no change whatsoever, so I added it back. I saw no change or sensitivity to it at all.

I think it can help to have the test, but I think dietary response is the best indicator (for gluten, too -- though I do think people should be tested for celiac before going gluten-free).

I think they can be reliable if you have no other health issues contributing. An ELISA IgG test can tell you pretty much the same thing.

I had both done.

I came back below 10 on casien (I think 7) and at 15 for soy.

ELISA testing showed low IgG and IgE for dairy products and soy was moderate I think.

When I found out I was IgA casein intolerant thru EnteroLab (after all, I just got the stupid test b/c it was free!), I didn't believe it ... didn't WANT to believe it. About a month after my test results, I thought I'd try casein free. I had horrible withdrawals for about a week, and then FREEDOM! EnteroLab was right. But you need to listen to your body over any test result. If you'd like, you can read my post/journal here: Open Original Shared Link

I had like over an 40 threw enterolab for casein, and i know i have a problem with dairy, i have known that for years but just ignored. I dont know if the dairy was causing me more problems cause i was an undiagnosed celiac or not. I am going to try to add dairy back in in a few months, even tho i know i will still have problems with it. I think enterolab is very accurate on the casein and soy. I have thought to be tested for soy, yeast and eggs, but i know from dietry that i have problems with soy.

Well, we did the package test for my son through EnteroLab because I wanted to be thorough, and he came back as sensitive to casein. We already knew this, though, both because an IgG test had told us and because he'd had red ezcema-like patches all over his body that went away when we went dairy-free.

I don't know about the soy, but I'm considering having him tested for that through EnteroLab, since he still gets spots on his skin (that are different than the ones caused by dairy) and I'm not sure what's causing it. I suppose I could just cut out soy and see if they go away...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
