Enterolab Results

Please excuse the venting, I'm sure many have had the same frustrations:

Well I finally received my results from enterolab yesterday, and low and behold, my GI doctor was wrong and I was right. After living 10 years with going from one dx to another and then back again, I finally have an answer. What makes me very angry however is that I specifically asked my doctor to run the panel. He ordered blood work and told me I don't have any problem with gluten, it is just IBS and went on and on about that. Keep in mind, 8 years prior this same doctor told me I had colitis. He left the area for awhile and one of the other doctors in the group told me I had Inflammatory Bowel Disease, prescription-malox, yeh right. Original doc came back and after more tests comes up with IBS. Come to find out he is now researching IBS. Funny thing is he didn't want to listen about the positive results of the gluten-free diet. YOUR FIRED DOC! After 10 years of living in agony and pain, snapping bones in half, severe migraines, etc., I finally have an answer and can stop feeling like the bif cry baby hypo-condriac.

No more cheating for me. Had a few beers in the hot summer heat. Time to learn to make smoothies for the boat. :P

Next stop, August 2, Golisano Children's hospital GI clinic for my son. I already know what the answer will be but to keep him strictly gluten-free, it will take a doctor telling him that he needs to do so. I told him to enjoy his Top Roman noodles while he can (loaded with wheat)

Thanks for letting me vent. I have found celiac.com very informative and helpfull in the last 7 months.

I'm glad that you finally have an answer to all of your problems. I don't understand why some doctors are like that. It's annoying, you'd think that they would investigate ALL posibilities before they make decisions like that. That is so premature <_<

jcgirl- Vent away! So glad you know for sure now. And many of us can relate with the doctors. I had lots of doctors telling me "IBS" for 13 years before my diagnosis! Its a reminder we have to be our own advocates :)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
