Advice? Blood Results Neg For celiac disease...enterolab Positive

I was pretty sure that all of my lab work would be normal--and I was correct. Now I am not sure what to do and what to believe...I had an Enterolab stool test 4 years ago that was negative (9) and now is positive (109--or something close to that--I don't have the result in front of me). I also had them test for casein this time and the result was positive (14).

I did not have the genetic testing done, so I do not know whether I am truly someone who could turn positive down the road...or whether I should just not believe the Enterolab results. Obviously their methodology made sense to me, otherwise I wouldn't have plunked the money down...but now I am wondering WHAT the problem is!

I KNOW that I have issues with gluten in terms of addictive its addictive qualities--bread (and ice cream) are my drugs of choice. I also have some definite GI issues...and have reflex sympathetic dystrophy. In some ways, I was hoping for a positive diagnosis so my next step(s) would be very clear. Now I just feel like a hypochondriac--looking for SOMETHING that I can "blame" for my symptoms.

My doctor is doing some food allergy testing (Alletess) so I will see what results they come up with.

If anybody else has been in this situation--stellarly normal by blood work and abnormal by Enterlab--I'd be interested in hearing what you did (and how meticulous you were in eliminating gluten if that is what you decided to do) and how long a trial you gave things, etc. Thanks so much.

The sugar blood sugar spike is what keeps us coming back to simple carbs like bread and sugar. It is really a roller coaster ride of peaking and bottoming out....you need to break that cycle. Set a goal of going several days with out your crutch of simple carbs and sugar and you will quickly notice that the cravings go away....once you get it out of your blood stream.

I can't address the testing question, but do have carb issue experience!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
