Enterolab Testing For Casein, Eggs, Soy, Yeast

Do I need to be consuming these for those tests to be accurate? I have had some problems that are clearly not gluten related, no neuro signs etc., since I had diverticulitis and a bad med reaction. I want to make sure that has not left me with problems other than gluten, or that some of the residual damage might be resolvable if a casien intolerance is also present.

As long as I was doing it I also sent for the gluten gene panel, I am curious which ones I carry and feel it could benefit my childrens children down the line if they know what to look for.

I don't know the answer, but when I emailed Enterolab with a question about my gene test, they responded very quickly. You may want to ask them as well as see what people here have to say.

I did the gene testing for the same reasons you did :)

I emailed them also so hopefully they will get to me soon. By the by I did find the gluten free pantries corn bread mix and I will try it tonight. Hopefully I will hear from them by then as it does require milk but I thought I would try to substitute with either soy milk or applesauce if I don't need to add dairy back in.

I actually make the cornbread with vanilla almond milk! I like the extra sweetness.

I'm sure it will be fine with whatever you decide to use.

I actually have some of that on hand so I may use that instead of the soymilk. I am still not sure I don't react to soy so I am trying not to overdo it. Thanks.

I don't see why your consumption of these items would need to be any more recent than consumption of gluten has to be for that test to work. But, as mentioned, you can simply ask them.

I avoided all but occasional, minor bits of egg (occasional bakery goods on special occasions) and rarely had dairy, both for years. Yet, my tests proved positive.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
