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)

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't.

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
