Thank everyone for your quick response. What is enterlab testing and what specific blood tests could be done to detect this if Dr. sends her to regular lab for blood tests?

Hi, Enterolab is a specialty lab that helps to diagnose food intolerances. It is not done through blood. For genetic testing they take a swab from in the mouth. For gluten, milk, soy, etc intolerance they take a stool test. It is done through the mail as Enterolab works as an on-line service. Some doctors seem to accept its results but many do not. The doctor who runs it is Dr. Fine and his work hasn't been published yet so most doctors still believe in the standard celiac panel blood work and the endoscopy with biopsy. There are many people here that swear by Enterolab. My son happened to be diagnosed through blood and biopsy but many children get false negatives and it is said that Enterolab is more accurate. I am sure more people will answer who have used them.

It is Open Original Shared Link, and will diagnose gluten intolerance (if you have it) even if blood work is negative. And the best part is, that you don't have to be eating gluten when using it. It is still accurate up to a year after eliminating gluten from your diet.

I used it for my youngest daughter, and after a positive result, she finally agreed to eliminate gluten. She is a stubborn teenager and wouldn't try the gluten-free diet without proof that she needed to be on it. And her blood work was negative (probably not enough damage yet to be positive).

Enterolab is getting my economic stimulus tax rebate this year. Its very convient that the tax checks we will be getting are just right for their gene and stool test. :D

I'm interested in how their gene test will match up with the one I've already had. Kind of a fun experiment.

Enterolab can also detect gluten intolerance much sooner than blood tests and scopes. Reactions to gluten happen first in the intestines which can be detected in stool. It takes a long time for your body to create enough antibodies for them to start leaking out into the blood and for their to be enough intestinal damage to show on a scope.

Wait, so Canadians can use Enterolab, too...?

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
