Enterolab. Fact Or Foe?

Hello~

I have been reading about a lot of people getting tests done from Enterolab....and I've also read about some people on here who are anti-Enterolab. I was wondering how accurate they are and if they credibility or what not, because I don't know much about them?

How accurate is Enterolab?

Thanks !!

Unfortunately there's no simple answer for that.

Nobody can technically prove or disprove that Enterolab is accurate - we simply don't know. There hasn't been enough research done on the type of testing that Dr. Fine performs.

Many people, including myself, have used Enterolab and are satisfied with the outcome.

I found out that according to his tests, I had active dietary gluten sensitivity and a celiac gene and one gluten-sensitive gene, and it was recommended that I go on a gluten free diet.

Since going gluten-free, the results have been absolutely remarkable. Nobody can take that away from me. Enterolab helped support what I knew already to be true when no other doctors would help me.

You will get mixed answers here :) But all I can recommend for ANYONE considering Celiac as a possibility is to always get official medical testing done first and foremost before trying Enterolab and/or the gluten free diet. It'll save a lot of confusion and second guessing in the future if symptoms don't resolve, simply because nobody actually knows the relevance of Enterolab.

You be the judge :)

Keep in mind that Enterolab does not diagnose Celiac.

      Your response on this matter is what I expect. You’ve had a similar episode years ago, but this one is lasting longer!

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?
