Anyone Ever Done Testing Through Enterolab?

If tested twice with them so far, once for Malnutrition with my daughter who has celiac disease and once now with my son. his results where:

Tissue Transglutaminase Stool Test

Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 45 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

So, he's pos. for Glutensensitivity- he's also the carrier of the Gene DQ2!

Did anyone of you have the same test, what was the result on it? What is your REAL diagnosis, Doctor wise? Has anyone of you scored lower then that or even higher?

the reason why I'm asking is, on the Website for EnteroLab it says that the average pos. result is 45. My son fall excatly in that score! I"m trying to find out if they just round up or down! EnteroLAB seems credible, but still the Stooltest is fairly new, they are the only LAB doing it and I'm still having the little birdy in my head from somebody questionning here really hard how credible they are!

I had 39 on anti gliadin and 18 on transglutaminase. I had been gluten free for 3.5 weeks and on a restricted wheat diet for years.

My daughter's antigliadin was only 12, but her malabsorption score was 816, which is fairly high. Her blood work was negative, but many symptoms resolved after taking her off gluten (or I should say after she finally cooperated, now that I had proof that there was a problem - she is 16).

My at the time 3.5 year old son's anitgliadin was 105 and tissue transglutaminase was 102. His absorption was normal. We haven't seen a GI because one that is recommended in the area doesn't accept Enterolab's results.

The Docs don't like it when Patients already come with their own diagnosis! go see the GI, talk to him aobut all the issues your son has and just SAY that Celiac runs in your family and if he could test your son for it to rule it out, don't tell him aobut the EnteroLab results!

      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! 🫶
