Just Got Fecal Test Report Back, I'm Allergic To Everything?

Hello All,

I understand the IgA fecal test will show food intolerance 'allergies', not like IgE peanut allergy where you have breathing difficulties, etc.

So, I'm "allergic" to: Gluten, Caesin, Egg, Soy, Corn, Walnut, Almond, Oats, Rice, Potatoes (possibly all nightshades)...

So, the question is, am I just experiencing leaky gut, and once my gut heals, I will not be taxing my immune system to eat things like RICE or does this mean I should avoid all these at all costs? It seems like I would be allergic to anything I am tested for.

I've been gluten and caesin free for 2 months, and I feel soo much better. My head is clearer, my thoughts are clearer. I am less emotional. I am more in control. Even when I am sick, I don't take it out on my family like I used to. So i know that this diet change is working. Now I'm wondering how far to take it. I don't need potatoes, but losing tomatoes, and eggplant, that hurts...

Then again, maybe this is all okay, and if my gut heals, I'll be fine. I just dont know how it works.

Here is my lab report:

Date: 7/7/2011

A) Gluten/Antigenic Food Sensitivity Stool Panel Limited

Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 162 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Fecal Anti-casein (cow

My wife was negative for Rice and Oats... but that's it.

Maybe now that I've spent all this money from Entero, I should go to my doc and see whats up.

Oscar is a bit of a cynic. Yes, do talk to your doctor. Enterolab has been the topic of many lively discussions here and remains a controversial subject.

This is purely my opinion based on unscientific feelings. I met the Enterolab doc. I was excited to hear from him. Saw him speak. Left at the intermission. He was a bit too slick for my tastes. I never felt he gave us enough info to understand the way the tests work. I think there is something to testing poop. It is what our body is rejecting. I would take the results with a grain of salt as the saying goes. Use them as a starting or place to start a trial.

If you haven't had a celiac panel run by your doctor you may want to do so before starting the diet. If you want to have an endo don't start gluten free until that test is done. Do keep in mind that false negatives are common with both those tests though so after that testing do give the gluten free diet a good strict try for at least a couple of months to see if it helps. You may find your reactions to other foods calms down after you have been gluten free for a bit.

I was allergic to almost everything the doctor tested for prediagnosis. I showed reactions to 98 out of 99 things tested for. After a few months on the diet most of the other reactive items were safe for me. My allergist said that my system was in 'hyperdrive' when he did the first tests because of my celiac and that once my body healed from the celiac damage it was then not reacting to the other substances.

Yes. As I've said before though that is a question with no statistically valid answer since the population sample is self selecting with a bias towards positive results.

Well he lives in a trash can! That would make anybody cynical since all you'd ever see is the world's garbage, never any of the good stuff. We should all chip in and buy him one of those new anti-bacterial UV sterilizing touchless kitchen garbage cans. :rolleyes:

I don't know if I want to chip in a for a big fancy new garbage can, but I'd go for spraying him with a big can of Lysol disinfectant anytime. Lemon scent would be helpful! :blink:B):P

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
