Do any of you have any experience utilizing the US BioTek Food panel to identify other foods that you might have a sensitivity or intolerance to?

Any other food panels you might recommend?

I'm curious too. I've been looking into it myself. I've found a website that you can purchase from that sends them the Doctor's order and you get the results, so you don't have to go through a Doctor at all. I don't know if it's more expensive that way or what, but it's really not as expensive as I thought it would be...

Am I allowed to post links, anyone? If I can I'll post the link to the website, just let me know 'cause I'm not sure. Haha. xD

I've done one of these tests from a different company. The one that is offered by Enterolab is conducted through stool. It isn't as thorough, but it's supposed to be much more accurate. They look for the most common offenders, such as eggs, gluten, and soy. You can also order one that tests for each food individually.

Yes. I did the 100 food panel which diagnosed my cane sugar and egg allergies. Because I was still having allergy symptoms (bloating, gas, cramping pain), I also did the 'vegetarian' panel. However, I didn't show any strong reactions to foods on that panel. So I did the herb and spice panel, which revealed I had strong reactions to vanilla and nutmeg.

Before doing the ELISA panels from US Biotek, I had previously been diagnosed with gluten intolerance, casein and soy allergies through Enterolab stool tests. Because I still had allergy reaction symptoms I found a naturopath who recommended the US BioTek ELISA (blood test for IgG reactions) panels. I'm glad I could use those tests to diagnose my other 4 allergies. I would not have wanted to try 'elimination' diets and guess which other foods caused my reactions.

I would recommend doing any of Enterolab's stool test (for IgA antibody reactions) or any of US Biotek's ELISA blood tests (for IgG antibody reactions).

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?
