Great News Enterolab Testing

MLB

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I just got my newest Enterolab test results back. 9 months ago I tested + for gluten and dairy and severe malabsorption (1279). My new test results show a normal fecal fat score indicating no malabsorption! I was really excited so thought I'd share. I've been so careful with my diet and have not cheated once (intentionally anyway - been glutened many times) so it's nice to see progress with my labs.

Thanks! I've improved so much in 9 months. Things that went away or improved greatly:

upper abdominal pain (bad - my worst symptom)

daily headaches

constipation

hypoglycemia (this was getting quite bad as well - totally gone now!)

eczema

blood pressure (i got to cut my medication in half)

anxiety

Still struggling with:

acid reflux - not like it was before, but this annoying symptom still comes and goes

I've had great improvement in some areas too. One of the things I struggled with was acid reflux. I had to sleep propped up on pillows. I got onto a few links regarding digestive enzymes and decided to try it a few months ago. I went cold turkey off the acid meds at the same time I went on "Digest" enzymes and had some trouble for about 3 more days and then, low and behold, I was "Reflux" free!! I still take one with each meal (2 daily) and I am totally heart burn free. This is after years of acid reflux!!!! They work. Long term use of the medicines can actually make the problem worse as your body is not producing the enzymes needed. Check out the info on Enzyamedica web site. Hope this helps. Also, it is suggested to not start on fruit enzymes, thats why I picked the one called "Digest" from Enzymedica. The people at my local health food store are not educated enough, so be careful. Read up on it first.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc. For the holidays...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent...

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      This explains a lot. I had a severe leg injury when I was younger. I've had several surgeries. I was super careful, but always got cellulitis. Interesting article. Even when I was gluten free and had surgery, I still got cellulitis.

      Gut Healing After a Celiac Diagnosis: What Science Says About Recovery Time (+Video)

      Good article. Everyone expects healing within a few weeks. I remember not feeling good until 4 months into the gluten free diet. In fact, the first month was horrible. I felt way worse. This is due to a large part of addiction to wheat. It feels like withdrawal symptoms. Your body wants the gluten no matter what. At 4 months, I remember waking up one...

I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
