6 Yr Old Son's Enterolab Results

Recommended Posts

These are my son's results from Enterolab. Can someone please explain them to me? I understand he has antibodies to gluten, soy, egg, and milk. But is it unusual for his gluten #s to be so high? I understand that he has two genes for gluten sensitivity. I find it hard to understand the genetic part. Can someone who is knowledgable explain? Thanks!

Well, according to the Elab results, your son is producing antibodies to several foods. Is there a reason you chose Enterolab? Have you tried the standard MD approach?

My son started rectal prolapsing in November, and we went to a pediatric specialist who did an exam and said he was probably just constipated (which he wasnt) and the doctor was not worried at all, just said to up his fiber. I started researching rectal prolapse and found out that celiac could be a cause of it, there were other symptoms he has that I figured were at least gluten sensitivity related. I found out about enterolab and gave it a try, because it is less invasive.

We are definitely going gluten free for my son. They recommend eliminating soy, egg, and milk too. Are his scores high for those three?

Well, they all read as high. It's my opinion that when it comes to food causing you problems, the very best diagnostic is how you feel. You might want to remove all of those foods for a few weeks and see if he feels better, and then test them one at a time to see if any of them are associated with any symptoms.

thank you! do you know of a substitute for scrambled eggs besides tofu?

oooh, now that's a tough one. You might need to try something entirely different. Check out the What's for breakfast thread and see if there's something in there that might work for you.

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
