Is Anyone Familiar With Enterolab?

I had testing done thru enterolab, the gene testing revealed I have double gluten intolerance genes, but do not possess the celiac gene. Does that mean that their is no way possible to have celiac?

I informed my doctor of the testing, but he still wants to go ahead with the endoscopy.

Yes, it is still possible to have celiac without possessing one or both of the main celiac genes (DQ2 and DQ8).

Yes, and how is this? Please explain it to me?

There is NO "celiac gene". DQ2 and DQ8 only indicate a predisposition to Celiac along with other issues. Only 20% of the people who carry this gene,will continue on to develop Celiac Disease.

Your testing may indicate that you may have a gluten intolerance or a gluten allergy (or both -

Enterolab does not, nor cannot, nor claim to diagnose for Celiac Disease.

If you feel better without gluten.....go with that. If you choose to continue testing, keep on a FULL gluten diet.

For all of us who have have digestive issues, I think it might be wise to have an endoscopy exam...if nothing but a base test.

I used the term "celiac gene" because most will refer to these genes as such. It is said that around 95% of people with celiac disease possess one or both of these genes, that is not to say that everyone who possesses these genes has celiac disease or will ever develop it. And, that would suggest that 5% of people with celiac disease do not possess one or both of these genes. Thus, my answer.

It seems to me you answered your own question.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Normal vitamin D range us from 20 ng/ml to 100 ng/ml.  200 nmol/L is the same as 80ng/ml. Minimum vitamin D is based soley on preventing Rickets and osteomyelitis.  Othe research is considered irrelevant insufficnet proof.   My 25(OH)D level is just over 80 ng/dl.  It took 8 years of 10,000 IU a day to get here because Celiac Disease causes low D.  In 1952 the UK banned all vitamin D supplementation due to a error.  Most of the world followed suit.  In the western world vitamin D deficiency ranges from 40% of the US to 60% in the UK. If you had an office with workspace for 30 to 100 workers, but you were restricted to less than 50 workers, how well would the office run.? A factory worker has 40 ng/ml,  A lifeguard has around 80.  Who's immune system works better? Simultaneously, 1,25(OH)2D3 up- and downregulates more than 1000 genes responsible for cellular proliferation, differentiation, a variety of cellular metabolic activities, antiangiogenesis and apoptosis   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9919777/

      Welcome to the forum, @Mpanknin! Questions like that really have no definite answer. Even if you tested a container of it for gluten content, the test results would only be good for that production batch. Assume it has some degree of CC. A more important question might be, how sensitive are you to minor amounts of gluten exposure?

      Thanks Wheatwacked. My D is normal. I take B12, B6, and a bone health supplement (I'm 67) that has K1, Calcium, Magnesium, and a bunch of other things. But no thiamine. But I will have my doc add it to my next blood draw. Thanks for the info WW!

      Wondering if this is gluten free or not. The only ingredients show garlic. Nothing about where it's processed if there's cross-contamination etc. Anybody know?
