    I am considering ordering the tests from enterolab. I am wondering if anyone had negative blood test and a positive enterolab result. I am also wondering which test I really need. Is it worth it to do the full gene/gluten/dairy or ??? Thanks!

    Thanks again. I am struggling with the dairy thing--you are right, it's eveywhere!

    Thanks--this is very good advice esp about how to introduce gluten. I honestly was ready to do the pizza thing. I notice that many here that many people are gluten free regardless of test results. I find this very inspiring and reassuring. Lenore

    HA! That made me laugh!

    Well, my blood work shows that gluten is supposedly not the cause of my illness (my result was 5 and positive was greater than 20 and apparently the test is 97% accurate). I was SO positive it was gluten because I responded so well to the diet (butt rash cleared up, no brain fog, and NORMAL BMs). The doctor suggested it may be dairy I am reacting to....

    Thanks again everyone. I think tht when I eat gluten my mind goes into overdrive as well!

    Thank you so much. Those were the words I needed to hear.

    I am doing great on the diet and have had fun cooking up new foods but sometimes I still question my diagnosis. For example, yesterday I had myself convinced that a little bit of gluten would be fine. So I ate a lovely steaming hot maple breakfast sausage. Now today I am paying the price. One sausage made me sick and now I am realizing the depth and...

    YES! This is very true for me. This period coming up will be my first 100% gluten-free. I am curious to see if symptoms reappear to the same degree. Lenore

    I did it. I finally cleared all gluten from my diet. No soy sauce, salad dressings etc. Today I was rewarded with my first normal (as is solid) bm since before summer. I still can't tolerate milk or citrus in any great quantity. I can't tell you how happy I am to feel well after so many months of feeling so tired and so depleted. I will not have test...

    Funny you should say that about beans because that's what I have discovered too. Beans, peas, citrus fruit, and dairy still send me running with the big "d". I was starting to doubt that gluten is the problem and had almost convinced myself that I had a legume, citrus, and dairy intolerance instead! I don't have my test results back yet so I am playing these...

    Thanks all. As usual, excellent advice. I can't wait to have that needle in my arm tommorow!

    Excel spreadsheets! I love it! Lenore

    Last week I swore I as gluten intolerant because after feeling terrible for months I went gluten light and felt great. However, my biggest symptom (loose, bulky, greasy stools alternating with watery ones 2 to 5 times per day) only improved in that the watery ones stopped. BUT I knew I was getting some gluten in trace amouts so I thought that was the cause...

    Hi everyone, thanks for the welocme and for taking time to answer my questions. I am releived to hear about the joint pain easing up once off gluten--it's so tiresome! So, do I need to ask my doctor for the blood panel and a refferal to a dermatologist? If the blood work comes back positive can I skip the biopsy? I am in Canada and have been told there...

    Hi, I am 35 years old and I can't believe I am here. Since last August I have experienced what I now know is malabsorption ("D" about three or four + times per day). I was also tired and irritable. I kept thinking it was coffee. Then I finally gave up caffine altogether and I realized I was wrong because the "D" never stopped. Then I gave up milk. Then...
