I, too, found out via Enterolab that I have a casein intolerance. I did their test 10 months after going gluten-free but still suffering from joint pain, bloating and gas, and brain fog. Cutting out dairy cleared my head right up and the stomach and joint issues soon followed. Lactose intolerance supplements did zilch. (Side note: My doc suggested Beano...

You're right about the over eating, I must admit that. It seemed that once I knew I couldn't have any cookies and crackers and cake I was devastated, even though I never ate them to begin with. When I figured out the Gluten-free snacks, then I began to eat them, so I ate a lot of simple carbs that I would not have eaten before Gluten-free. I bake my own...

My Mom has tried to gluten me every time I visit. She just says "Eat around it!" It is very frustrating but I held my tongue the last time and ate only the baked sweet potato. She was insulted, but oh well, that was a lot better than what I wanted to say to her. I called my husband afterwards, all steamed, and he said to just calm down, that my mom lived...

Hi, Yep, I've put on 17 lbs since I went Gluten-free Jan '06. My gastro guy says it is normal since I am now properly absorbing my food, but it is very frustrating since I've battled my weight all of my life and was not in any obvious nutritional distress when I was untreated. I have hovered between 10-30 lbs overweight forever. Fortunately, or...

Hey Nora, Actually, I felt a lot better after going gluten-free for the first month, but just the stomach stuff. Then I got really sick for about a month, all of my previous symptoms were back with a vengeance. I figured out that it was SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). I think it happened because I had lost a lot of my fiber in the...

I am also on Aciphex twice a day, although lately, I forget the second dose unless my stomach is acting 'iffy'. I also found that taking probitics every day helps immensely, and is most likely why I am forgetting my second dose of Aciphex. Plus George's Aloe Juice, it settles a sour stomach. It tastes like water, not bitter dirt like the other Aloe juices...

I have had all sorts of wierd symptoms as well, including a hot face, and just realized yesterday that a few more have gone to the wayside. I have been gluten free since January 2006, but have still been getting some hidden gluten as evidenced by a positve IgA a month ago, but it is a lot better than it was. One of my symptoms was the inability to have...

Very interesting. I went to the link on the fecal testing and there is a 'reply' tab on that page to read Dr. Fine's reply. My husband and I were just tested by Enterolab and believe the test is valid. Thanks for the investigative work, it is very helpful to hear as much as possible in this ever evolving issue.

Hey B, That's how I react to gluten, I barf all night long. It always starts with belching, sometimes days before, then it progesses to food regurgitation, painful belly gas, and then I blow chow to wee in the early morning. Sure hope you have a good gastro. Good luck on Wednesday. -

Hi Pam, I live right next to Silverdale. Central Market has the widest range of gluten-free and organic and exotic foods in the area, I go there only when I really need something (like snacks for a trip) and don't have the time to order online. They stock all of their gluten-free foods in the same aisles as the non-gluten-free foods, so you just...

I just sent my Enterolab 'stuff' yesterday. So I am hopeful that I see something within 3 weeks. My GI pooh poohed me on Celiac as well and the biopsy was normal, but I had gene testing via Kimball Labs last February and I have the Celiac gene. I also feel tons better after going gluten-free. I am going to Enterolab to corroborate allergy testing I did...

OHR refunded my money. I turned around and ordered a complete panel from Enterolab. I was only going to retest for the dairy and egg responses, but I spent last night heaving my guts out, so I am ordering the gluten tests as well to see if I have been glutened. I am so careful with what I eat, but today I am looking into other things that I did yesterday...

Thanks for your input, Joy. I hope eveyone who reads this bulletin board heeds our warning about OHR. Buyer Beware!! Oh, and the egg thing has me flummoxed as well. Not happy about it at all. Retesting elsewhere this week.

Hi All, This question is probably answered somewhere else, but after reading through a few threads, I'll just ask again. My IGG allergy test came back to say I am allergic to milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, whey and mozarella, but not to cheddar cheese. Since cheddar seems to me to be the same ingredients but with added rennet and then aged, does...

Hi All, I filed my complaint with the BBB on Wednesday last week, received an acknowledgment from them on Thursday that they had started to work on the case against OHR Labs and by Friday evening I had received an urgent email from OHR with my results attached. The document shows they received my test kit on June 28 and processed it Sep 5. They...
