Great News Enterolab Testing


MLB

Recommended Posts

MLB Apprentice

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.

That's great news. :) All that hard work has paid off. It must feel good to know and have proof that your body is healing. Hope you'll be enjoying continued improvement in health.

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.

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
