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.

      After waisted time of new care team, yet again EXHAUSTED saw new gi today in Modesto, though all my ailments im not getting any kind of concern of me being celiac and sentive to just about everything since menopause. Dr daid why don't I go see you guys because my blood shows zero for celiac. I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.

      I was taking medicine for sibo but it was not agreeing with my stomach at all.Was on gabapentin but it amps me up.I was taking in morning because it wasn't allowing me to sleep.This has always been an issue with medicine and me.Even going to dentist, the good shot that numbs you once, I can't take because it makes my heart beat fast and I  get the shakes.I have to take the crappy stuff and get injected always more than 4 times always.Its infuriating

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.
