    Hi - I have a question about Enterolab's stool IgA anti-gliadin test. I was reading about it yesterday and came across a message during a search that if a person is constipated - probably severly constipated that it could cause a false postive. My 3yr old daughter took the stool test and it came back with an IgA level of 62. So, my question is, she was...

    You son sounds EXACTLY like my 3-1/2 year old daughter! Refulx as an infant, then full-blown, out of control asthma at age 2-1/2, sensory processing disorder and ADHD, motor delays - my daughter also has a speech delay due to her motor delays and has low muscle tone. She also caught RSV at age 2 from daycare, which is what sealed the deal for her full-blown...

    I have a question about IgA anti-gliadin antibodies. My 3-1/2 y.o. DD has a positive IgA anti-gliadin stool test through Enterolab. Her score was 62. We have had her gluten free for 3-4 months, and now want to follow up with trying for an actual diagnosis, so we are putting her back on gluten for awhile. Anyway, about 4 days in and her poor little rear...

    Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. Beth

    Hi - I have a question. I have a 3-1/2 year old daughter with sensory processing dysfunction, leaky gut, and a positive Enterolabls stool test for IgA anti-gliadin antibodies. We've had her gluten free for several months now, and if she gets ahold of gluten, I don't really notice that much difference, other than stinky poops, but no other real issues that...

    I do. I don't have an official Celiac diagnosis, but I have an IgE allergy to wheat and rye and I have neurological symptoms when I eat gluten. My DD is confirmed gluten sensitive. She has neurological symptoms as well. Due to my neurological symptoms to gluten, I am going to take this as a confirmation of gluten sensitivity, in addition to an IgE allergy...

    Hi - I'm needing some 2nd opinions from someone outside the medical community who is knowledgable about celiac/gluten sensitivity. My 3 year old DD has taken the Enterolab stool test and tested positive for gluten sensitivity. She has had a great reaction to the gluten free diet, inlcuding a rash that she's had for over 2 years on her arms and legs finally...

    Soy is my though too. I looked at your signature and I'm allergic to dairy and egg and also soy. I've read that the dairy and soy allergy tend to go hand-in-hand. It's terrible to be allergic to so many things - I'm not sure if I'm celiac or not, but I am allergic to wheat, rye, egg, dairy, soy and garlic. Really cuts down on food choices. Hope that...

    Hi - I just wanted some comments - I have a 3 year old daughter who had a positive Enterolab test result for IgA anti-gliadin antibodies, a rash that she had on her arms, legs and cheeks that went away after going gluten free, a very positive result on the gluten free diet. She has sensory processing issues that have greatly improved since going gluten free...

    Oh, how long after eating something they shouldn't do your kids end up with symptoms?

    Thanks for the reply - I wish I would have thought at the time that it was related to gluten, because then I could have had it biopsied! Oh well. At least it's gone. And she's gluten free now so I guess it's a mute point, but just wondered about it. Beth

    Hi - I have a question about DH rashes - My DD is 3 and has had a positive Enterolab test and a very positive reaction to the gluten-free diet. She also had a rash on her arms and legs since she was a baby, that was chronic and never went away until she went on the gluten-free diet and now it's totally gone for the first time that I can even remember - her...

    I have a 3 year old daughter and we've been gluten free (as a family) for a couple of months now. The biggest mistake I made in the beginning was thinking that we had to have substitutes for everything we ate prior to going gluten free, such as bread, crackers, muffins, pancakes and whatnot. My DD HATES gluten free bread! We've tried just about every brand...

    Thanks for the reply - I made an appointment with a pediatric neurologist on July 10th. I definitely agree it's something I should have checked. Hopefully we'll find some answers. Thanks again- Beth

    Hi - I have a question maybe someone can help me with. When my 3 year old daughter was an infant, she had terrible reflux. She was put on liquid Zantac at 2 months old. At the time, I was concerned about the fact that it had alcohol in it, but we thought it was necessary because she was visibly suffering and the Zantac did help. Anyway, I looked on Zantac...

    See message below - I accidentally sent it twice - didn't realize the first one showed up. Oops!

    Before we suspected celiac in my daughter, we'd been taking her to a naturopath who had written her an official order to be off gluten, and that was because DD has sensory issues and leaky gut - now we have an Enterolab test showing anti-gliadin IgA antibodies, but the order was written before we had that test done. I bet there are a lot of alternative health...

    Thanks for the advice everyone - I appreciate it. She definitely has leaky gut. She was on round after round of antibiotics and had yeast overgrowth as a result until this past February when we figured out milk was causing her ear infections - since then, she's had only one after a cold that only needed topical antibiotic drops with no resulting fungal...

    Hi - I have a very general question - My DD who is three had a stool test with Enterolab that came back positive for IgA anti-gliadin antibodies - she scored a 62. Is the production of IgA antibodies to gluten simply mean she's having an immune system response, not necessarily celiac, but an immune response nonetheless? I'm trying to figure out if I want...

    Thanks for the replies - that's kind of what I was thinking too. Especially since it didn't specify what exactly they would have been for, it would make sense that they were total serum levels and the nurse didn't know or didn't have all the information. Beth

    Maybe someone can offer me some advice? Back in February, before celiac or gluten sensitivity was even a thought in my mind, my DD had some blood tests run and the tests came back with the following: IgA - 205 IgG - 1368 DD's ENT ordered the tests and he told me he was checking her immune system function - she had the blood drawn on the same day she...

    Hi - I'm new to this forum and have a question for all of you regarding a biopsy test for my 3 year old daughter. She has sensory processing dysfunction with some autism spectrum characteristics. We have had blood tests done that came back with elevated IgA and IgG levels, although I don't know if they were specifically testing for celiac or not. We also...
