    Okay, So Enterolab received my "sample" one week ago. I know it says that it can take up to 3 weeks to get the results. Did anyone get their's earlier or does it usually take right at 3 weeks? The suspense is killing me!

    So on the enterolab website, you got the first test, A) Gluten Sensitivity Stool and Gene Panel Complete which tests for antigliadin, anti-tissue transglutaminase, malabsorption test, gene test, and free milk sensitivity for $369? Sorry, I'm just confused by all this and want to make sure I'm getting the right test.

    I haven't been to the GI doc yet. So I'm just trying to avoid it if I can. I think that the $99 test would just save me some money and unnecessary testing in the long run. BTW, ya'll got me curious now...what's this meal you eat at Nick's? My husband and I might go check it out this weekend!

    Okay, so I think I've talked myself into getting the Enterolab test (just the stool one, not the genes). But I have a few questions... 1. Is it accurate? 2. Does it test for celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or both? 3. Are positive results recognized by the medical community or do the doctors still want to do their own tests? In other words...

    I am an IU student. I got my Bachelors in Biology at Western Kentucky University, then moved up here for Optometry School. (There isn't one in Kentucky!) I'm 24, married for one year, and live on the west side of town. What about you? What did you get your degree in? Your husband's degree? What's your daughter majoring in?

    i will definately let you all know what i find out. i've tried the gluten free diet a few days "just to see" and have had remarkable improvement. so i'm pretty sure that's what it is. if you want to read my WHOLE story, i posted it a few days ago on the "Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms" thread. it's on the 3rd page, about the 10th post...

    Thanks for your help!! My doctor actually has referred me to Ghosh and I have an appointment in October. I think I'll go ahead and keep that appointment. Maybe he'll also be a good doctor and then there will be 2 good GI docs in Bloomington. If he's not very good, then I'll just go to the other one. Again, thanks for your help!!!

    I didn't know which board to post this question on, so I just picked this one. About how much does the Enterolab test cost? I keep reading where people say it's expensive, but never read how much. Thanks!

    Does anyone know of a good GI doctor in Bloomington, Indiana? I just want to try to avoid getting one of those doctors that gives the "run-around". If there is a doctor in Bloomington that is familiar with dealing with celiac disease and gluten intolerance I would like to visit him/her first. Thanks!

    Hey everyone. I think that I may either have celiac disease or am gluten-intolerant. It all started back in 2002. I was in my sophomore year of college and started getting diarhea all the time. I would literally be running for the bathroom 15-20 minutes after eating. I thought that it might be what I was eating so I backed off the greasy/fatty typical college...
