  1. Hello, Back in 2008, when Enterolab did my test, my Anti-Gliadin IgA was 1345 -Yikes! I was never diagnosed as celiac but genetically predisposed to gluten sensitivity. After following their dietary advice for 2 years, I tested again and the score was normal. I continue to be gluten free and my GI system has never been happier. Soy was also...
  2. I have felt better since I have followed Dr. Fine's recommendations than I have in my entire life. I am so grateful to Enterolab.
  3. I have been using lots of Hershey 100% cacao powder with no problems whatsoever.
  4. I bloat and become constipated with soy just like with gluten.
  5. When I read your post, I almost fell off my chair. Did you day that you switched to barley based carob chips? Barley has gluten. Before I realized that I am gluten sensitive, I suspected wheat as a cause to my symptoms and was seeking out items made with only rye. I had found a really nice cracker made with only rye and salt. Well after the gluten sensitivity...
  6. Has a product you have been using changed? Just recently, the "Nautral" roast chicken at my local Stop & Shop deli which previously was labeled with Ingredients: chicken, now has a new look and label. Under the handy little cardboard holder that is wrapped around the container is a new label which says that the chicken is injected with a 18% solution...
  7. Wow, you certainly seem to have found your answer. I wouldn't want to go back to consuming gluten again for the sake of a test either. You may want to consider EnteroLab. They did a fecal test for me which is more sensitive thatn the blood test and they also tested for casein, eggs, soy and yeast. I was sensitive to all of them. Perhaps you may have reactions...
  8. Of course your physical reactions will not change whether or not you are tested and I agree that the Enterolab tests can be expensive. However, this is how being tested has influenced me: Having those results in print in front of me gave me ammunition. Ammunition to fight off the temptations of people saying," just have ONE bite, it is SOOOO delicious and...
  9. Before I was officially diagnosed as gluten intolerant, I suspected that soy was an issue as well. I knew that wheat was a problem for me and was avoiding that ,so when a little cup of miso soup caused me to bloat, I figured that soy should be off my list too. As it turns out, I later tested reactive to gluten, casein, soy, eggs and dairy. I also have figured...
  10. I was reading Dr. D'Adamo's book on Geno Type Diet and took my fingerprints as indicated and I was very surprised to find all these little white lines where my prints should be. It was the explanation that these indicate a digestive problem and glucose sensitivity that let me to pursue furthur testing at EnteroLab. And yes, I tested glucose and casein sensitive...
