Overwhelmed By Enterolab Results

I just received my 2 year old's Enterolab results today. I was shocked to see that he tested positive for egg, yeast, casein, gluten and soy! He has been soy, dairy and gluten free for the last several weeks (except I just realized today his all natural toothpaste has oat beta-glucan(gluten) in it...) which has been enough of a challenge(especially the whole cross contamination issue)! The gluten free bread I have been making for him has yeast and egg and the gluten free waffles I've been making have egg. On a positive note, for the last week he has had 1/2 as many bowel movements and they have been solid and he has gained weight. I have to email enterolab but thought I would ask here as well:

I know the gluten intolerance is a life long issue but has anyone had Enterolab testing and then follow up testing that shows the other intolerances were outgrown? Does anyone feel their positive Enterolab results were off target?

Does anyone else with a child with these same intolerances have any food advice? I'm overwhelmed about the yeast but don't want to ignore it because it's linked to Crohn's Disease.

Also, does anyone know of an all natural flouride free toothpaste that doesn't contain these ingredients(Tom's of Maine has soy!)

I am debating getting tested myself now...

Thanks for any replies or words of encouragement!

Don't debate get yourself tested. All of his first degree relatives should be tested, you, Dad, brothers and sisters. If you or Dad are positive then your brothers, sisters, Mom and Dad should be tested. And so on.

It is going to be tough with the number of intolerances he has and hopefully someone who has been through this with a little one will be able to help. You may find the section on Other Intolerances on the board helpful also.

Ener-g makes a egg replacement. It is powdered and you could use that in place of eggs in your baked goods. Be sure to try Chebe also. It is a yeast free bread mix that can be used for a lot of different things.

You might take a look at the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, because other than the egg, all the other intolerances are taken into account. Especially on the site www.pecanbread.com where it is mostly kids and many are casein sensitive. Lots of recipes plus ideas for someone who is very sensitive.

SCD is gluten free, but stricter to help heal the gut issues.

I haven't retested Enterolab for casein sensitivity but have been able to reintroduce it in small amounts, and to use goat milk yogurt without much trouble. I did recheck my Enterolab absorption levels.

My Enterolab results were right on. I didn't have the other food intolerances done though, just milk.

We have Multiple food allergies as well as celiac in our family. Use Baking powder instead of yeast and make more sweet batter breads like banana or zuchinni. Replace the eggs with applesauce , for binding and moisture, or unflavored gelatin powder, for binding, use 1 tsp per 2 C. flour mix.

For my kids teeth we pour a flouride rinse over the brush part instead of using water, they get the flouride and the scrubbing and we floss and rinse good. It has been working well. HTH! Also , trz using spectrum shortening for baking, it is made from palm oil so it is dairy and soy free. It works wonders!

I've been tested by EnteroLab...I am gluten- and casein-sensitive. I am also wondering what the difference is between being gluten-sensitive or gluten-intolerant. I would appreciate it if anyone could help!

      Might want to see a rheumatologist also, as if this is an autoimmune disease they might be better equipped to to handle and treat. I was finally diagnosed after a biopsy on one of my quads. Condition known as IBM or inclusion body myositis . Good luck  Good luck

      Wends is correct in that for generations the food pyramid chart we were given with carbs at the base is incorrect. The average person gets far too many of their calories from carbs and coincidentally, more calories than they need for good health since carbohydrate rich foods are also calory rich foods. The body can learn to convert protein and fat into energy more efficiently when carbs are withheld. This is the basis of the ketogenic diet and why it works so well. I am not sure I would go full keto for a developing child however. Carbs are not evil. The problem isn't carbs per se but too many carbs.

       In terms of a low carb diet the thing to remember is that it is not a “no carb” diet. Far from it. There are a lot of misconceptions. Real food is the key. Avoiding refined sugars and starches. In the textbook that doctors use it states that “Carbohydrates” are not essential to life, unlike proteins and fats. Glucose on the other hand is essential, yes, and the liver makes and tightly regulates all it needs in the presence of adequate calories from proteins and fats. It’s biochemistry 101.  My personal view is that the NHS advice is out of date. And no wonder the life expectancy and quality of life of people with diabetes down the road is reduced - not to mention the cost to the NHS when complications arise decades after diagnosis because too much insulin to keep numbers in range is like a bandage to cover up while under the surface the damage is still going on. Retinopathy. Peripheral neuropathy. Sorry, don’t want to doom and gloom. But it’s true. The fuel you choose today dictates tomorrow. The information is out there in the scientific papers. It’s a can of worms but there is decades of scientific literature to back up a natural low carb diet. Professor Tim Noakes of Cape Town university went through a three year trial (and won) after a dietitian accused him because he recommended weaning a child on to meat after breastfeeding. They said they needed carbohydrates. He’s a professor of sports and exercise and medical doctor with diabetes. There’s a whole host of Professors and medical doctors and dietitians and medical professionals around the world advocating for real food and essentially a low carb diet. Humans evolved over millennia on real food. None of the modern high carb ultra processed or modern breads of the last century or so. Check out the Public Health Collaboration UK based charity. There’s conference videos online and free info. I think type 1 diabetes was covered a few years ago. Dr David Cavan UK specialist. Professor Knoakes also came out with a great cookery book called Superfood for Superchildren…from toddlers to teens. It is part of the Real Meal Revolution series of healthy eating. It sounds like youre on this already with breastfeeding and eating healthy so good on you! So sorry about the cards your little one has been dealt but with the right education and diet it is totally manageable and there’s no reason not to have stable blood sugars and have a long and happy life without diabetes complications. Same as children diagnosed with coeliac disease, a healthy naturally gluten free diet is the antidote to the gluten poisoning. Sugar and refined starches are toxic to diabetics. With modern technology of blood glucose monitors it’s easy to figure out suitable foods by how different foods effect the blood glucose level. Sorry, the reference of igA deficiency possibility was to Trent’s reply regarding Total igA and “artificially low” positive test. Not the case as the NHS screen total igA. In terms of poo signs. The Guts UK charity has loads of great info.

      Hair loss is also a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.     Peripheral neuropathy, another thiamine insufficiency symptom, can cause a feeling of itchiness on the skin without a rash.
