I really appreciate all of these responses, and it is good to hear opposing views as well, because it gives a more well rounded story. Rachel--24, You seem to know more about the components of "intolerance" and its cause as anybody that I have spoken with. Also you have given me a better explanation about enterolab tests than anybody as well. Thankyou...

"Other things that can cause leaky gut are dairy and soy intolerances, Lyme Disease, parasites, yeast infection, thyroid and/or adrenal problems" This really caught my attention.

I had a negative blood test and negative biopsy, but then a positive enterolab test. Also positive for a celiac gene. Could I still have celiac? or maybe...
