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.

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
