Lab Work

Hello,

I recently heard that it matters which lab does your bloodwork when testing for Celiac. I guess some labs are "known" for false negatives. Does anyone know which labs are reliable; Which ones should I request bloodwork to be send to? Thanks

My labs were done by Sonora Quest and I tested positive. Don't know about the other labs.

Ok so I am responding to my own post :) I just talked to a pharmasist and she said that yes all labs are supposed to handle and test everything; however some labs are more familiar with certain tests than others. She suggested to look at how many of the tests they do a year. ( so how do I find that out?) If it is a lab that only handles a few cases of the test than it would be a less reliable source of information. Her suggestion was to call Ellis Hospital or Albany Med (the two local big hospitals) and talk to their nutrition centers to see where they send their lab work.

And also I did some of my own research on the web and found out that one reason why labs vary with their results is because the EMA test is not standardized. Hmmm. . .

If anyone has any other input on these topics please post even if they are contradictory to what I have posted. I'm considering this as collecting info and not as a final statement so I am very open to more input. Thanks

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
