Help With My Sons Lab Results

[bec]

Is there anybody who can give me feedback on these results from Enterolab.

Is this enough reason to eliminate gluten and totally change his diet.

What is the current thought on the accuracy of Enterolab. Any feedback would be helpful

Thanks!

These results definitely justify eliminating all gluten and dairy (not just lactose) from his diet. If you don't, you will end up with a very ill child eventually. Obviously, he must be having symptoms, otherwise why would you have had him tested? How old is he?

He just turned seven. We had him tested dueto behavioral (ADHD type ) and excessive mucus/congestion.

He does not have any digestive problems we are aware of.

Would you suggest any other tests before we change his diet?

Those were positive tests. It appears from your description of his problems that he is primarily effected neurologically and often it can be years before those of us who are predominantly neuro effected to have obvious GI distress. During that time the damage to the nervous system and brain continue. Many of us will experience crippling depression and anxiety by the time we reach adolesence and the hormones kick in to complicate things further. At this time many of these kids get put on psychotropic drugs which can have horrible and even deadly side effects. I almost lost both of my children to these types of meds when the gluten-free diet was what was really needed. The brain fog can also make learning difficult and interfer with interpersonal communication resulting in conditions that are very like some in the autism spectrum. I would get him on the diet. I would be willing to bet that you are seeing a different kid within a couple of months.
