Hi,

We have ordered from Enterolab three times. One time it was 21 days, the other two were 20 days. Two times it was just the IGA anti-gliadin antibodies and one time it took 21 days and the other 20 days. The other 20 days time frame was the panel for casein, egg, yeast and soy sensitivity.

I know what you mean about being anxious. I'd leave my email page up for days and constantly press refresh.

Btw, they were spot on with the results! I would highly recommend Enterolab. For us, they have been more helpful than our doctors.......I personallly think Dr. Fine is a forward thinker who is correct.

Good luck!

It took what seemed like forever for us too(I want to say closer to a month. I finally called them up and found that the results were in but somehow they hadn't gotten to us.(I may have been partly to blame)They e-mailed and snail mailed copies right away!

Try to relax, in the scheme of things here, the amount of time will seem small when you look back on it. I think mine took a little under six weeks to come back. Isn't that what they quote? You can eat gluten-free in the meantime, you kow, get a start on feeling better. Barbara

Thanks! I've been gluten free since the day before we sent it off. I've been a lot better, not as much bloating, headaches are gone, not so many stomach aches,etc.

The website says to allow 3 weeks, so I only have three days left but I'm being crazy about it. My whole family says I sound like a broken record because every hour or so they hear: "not available!!"

I'm betting you will hear from them on Monday. Call them if not by 21 days. I had a soy test done and had to call them on day 22. Dr. Fine was traveling so they were behind but sent it out to me asap the next day. My G.I., although wishes he would get published, uses enterolab for patients that test negative in all areas of conventional testing but still have symptoms.

Does anyone know if they send out results during the weekend, or do they only do things on weekdays? Because we had to send it monday, tuesday or wednesday so they would get it before the weekend.

Haha..okay I'll calm down.I gave up refreshing the enterolab site so I guess I'll just wait until the email arrives.

I'm pretty sure I know what it will say, so I'll wait. Luckily I've got a few things to keep me busy. I'll be showing my dog Monday and other things so I will calm down.

Thanks for the reminder!!

.GOT THE RESULTS!!!!

So my genes from enterolab were HLA-DQ 3,3 (subtype 8,7) can someone tell me what in the world this means in a way i can understand??? Im very confused.

And I had on the fecal antigliadin test a 26 (normal less than 10) but on the fecal tissue transglutimanase it was a 9(normal less than 10) does it mean anything?? One positive and one negative. It says to stay off gluten because i had a positive. any other info? thanks

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      That’s really frustrating, I’m sorry you went through that. High fiber can definitely cause sudden stomach issues, especially if your body isn’t used to it yet, but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things ...

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      I thought this might be of interest regarding anti-EMA testing. Some labs use donated umbilical cord instead of monkey oesophagus. Some labs just provide a +ve/-ve test result but others provide a grade by testing progressively diluted blood sample. https://www.aesku.com/index.php/ifu-download/1367-ema-instruction-manual-en-1/file Fluorescence-labelled...

      Just diagnosed today

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.

You’re already doing the right things with cleaning and separating baking—also watch shared toasters, cutting boards, and labels like “may contain.”

The binding site is extracellular tTG2 bound to fibronectin and collagen. Human or monkey derived endomysium is necessary because tTG2 from other mammals does not provide the right binding epitope. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/3/1012

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation from one autoimmune condition can sometimes be linked to or trigger other inflammatory responses in the body. MP, which involves inflammation of the fat tissue in the mesentery (the membrane that holds your intestines in place), is often discovered incidentally on scans, exactly as in your case. The fact that your medical team is already planning follow-up with a DEXA scan (to check bone density, common after a celiac diagnosis) and a repeat CT is a very proactive and prudent approach to monitoring your health. Many find that adhering strictly to the gluten-free diet for celiac disease helps manage overall inflammation, which may positively impact MP over time. It's completely normal to feel uncertain right now. Your next steps are to take this one day at a time, focus on the gluten-free diet as your primary treatment for celiac, and use your upcoming appointments to ask all your questions about MP and what the monitoring plan entails. This dual diagnosis is a lot to process, but it is also the starting point for a managed path forward to better health. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
