ARCHIVED Which Lab Should I Use?
Spatchie replied to Spatchie's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks Carla. Did you go through your gyn Dr or a GI Dr.? I'm sure either one can do it. But I do have my yearly with my gyno coming up and can possibly ask for that then. Thanks. -
ARCHIVED Which Lab Should I Use?
Spatchie posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I would like to have a stool test done for gluten sensitivity/celiac, yeast, bacteria overgrowth. There are quite a few different opinions here about enterolab (which my dietician recommended). I also think they do not do bacteria testing. Does anyone recommend a reliable lab who can test for all three? Or at least a reliable lab for gluten testing... -

Thanks for the advice. This is such a long and tedious process. It helps to have encouragement through it all. It seems that I didn't eliminate gluten long enough. I will try again for longer next time. Thanks, -
ARCHIVED Could This Bloating Be From A Gluten Intolerance?
Spatchie posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi all, this is my first post. About 6 months ago, I suddenly became bloated all the time. By the end of the day I look like I'm 5-6 months pregnant. I have also began to deal with issues of constipation. Some gas pains, but nothing too serious. I first went to my gyno for an ultrasound but it looked good. Then I went to a GI doctor who took blood work...
