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)

      Ibuprofen

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ?  I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet.  Rebound muscle pain so intense  How many people get opposite effects or have a horrible attack after these meds

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Juliane · Posted

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…
