Enterolab Results In

After I sent the sample in, i called to tell them about the IgA total serum being low. However, I don't think the GI will care either way!

It probably doesn't matter anyway, it is the fecal fat that I want addressed, right?

Fecal fat and the fractures combine to make a pretty strong picture of malabsorption, don't they? I agree that's the best thing to focus on.

That and her short stature (3rd percentile for height and weight). I could go on and on but you have heard it all!

Skylark: so that fecal result isn't going to be dismissed by this Celiac Expert GI because it was from Enterolab?

Enterolab is an accredited diagnostic lab. Unlike stool IgA, microscopic fecal fat analysis with Sudan III staining is a very standard and well-accepted diagnostic test. Enterolab uses a quantitative approach to reading the slides, which has been published in a peer-reviewed journal. You can bring the article with you and show it to your GI if she has any questions about the way Enterolab is scoring the fecal fat slides.

For that matter, fecal TTG IgA isn't that far off the beaten path; it's just that your daughter having a positive result when she is IgA deficient is a little hard to interpret.

The big question-mark at Enterolab is fecal anti-gliadin IgA. It's probably meaningful in combination with TTG but interpreting it alone makes me twitch. The second paper is particularly damning. ;)

Thanks Skylark! Her endocrinologist is convinced her issues are GI related but she is friends with the GI so this was a challenge. Now I have proof this is GI with that fecal fat! Yeah. Now I just need to rule out the other diseases associated with fecal fat. B)

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
