Enterolab--if You Had To Choose A Test, Which One

Here's the thing. I CANNOT afford the whole panel. I can only afford ONE of these--

1. Transglutaminase

2. Fecal fat score

3. Antigliadin

If you had to choose one to get, which one is the most important of all three.

Please don't tell me to scrape up some money for the panel. If I could I really would. We are just barely making it right now. The $99 dollars is going to be tough enough. I saved up $50 from doing a few things for my mom. Any help with which test?

Thanks,

I wouldn't do any of them. If you feel better not eating gluten, then just assume that's your problem and spend the money on new pans, or a bread machine for yourself or some other thing that will help you get healthy instead of confirming what you already know.

That's just it. I want to do this because I am not sure. I have eliminated dairy and my previous symptoms are coming back. Bloating, constipation, irritability etc. I want to know if this is my problem so I am not eating gluten-free in vain. I feel the way I did before going gluten-free and I haven't changed anything. So I would like to know through one of these tests.

Then I'd go with Paula's suggestion. The TtG is most likely to give you usable results.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
