    Unfortunately, you won't get the test results that quickly... You may want to just keep your doc appt, and your money ;-) Gina

    OOPS - I confuse York and Enterolab - I tested with both - I did the full food panel finger prick tests with York....Enterolab was for the other tests I mentioned...I will go back and edit my last post.... ANYWAY, Yes..I used York.... Gina
  3. FaithInScienceToo
    Yes. I did their full food panel finger prick test. I may now use this stick test to keep track of my antibodies, between doc visits. Gina

    Hi, again, Dancer :-) Reading more about you here, I want to add 2 things: You need to learn more about Gilbert's syndrome and all of the food-related problems - Here is the link I found about that: Open Original Shared Link Since it's genetic, has your immediate family been tested for that, also? --------------------------------------...

    Hi Dancer ;-) I just read a bit about your "Gilbert's Syndrome" - wow...it affects 1 in 20! Anyway...the stomach issues associated with it are SO similar to celiac disease... About your stool tests - it's good that you are absorbing fats. WHAT ARE YOUR BLOOD PANEL results???? About Enterolab - you cannot ask your doc to order those tests for...

    YIPPEE! York Labs rocks!

    Hi - I kinda chuckled inside when I read your post...don't worry, I also have great empathy for you! Anyway....I chuckled because I thought, "this person is on the right track...and should not worry!...she/he has a doc appt in one week..." JUST BE SURE TO GET A FULL "celiac disease blood panel" done...tell you doc to order the FULL SCREEN. If...

    Just wanted to address a few points you made here: I don't think you have to worry about Oprah saying she won't eat wheat, unless she tests positive for gluten problems, in which case she can say that without worrying about the wheat producers sueing her :-) Anyway...I also don't think anyone replied saying that we should say that 'all grains are bad...

    Hi. I just posted this link on the other thread about this: Open Original Shared Link It's the page on Oprah's site for e-mailing the producers. Gina

    I just sent my e-mail to the show. Hopefully, they will find that having a show about this topic can help many people who suffer needlessly. Gina

    LOL...the Oprah Show once wanted me to be on the show...for family issues...They called me after I e-mailed my personal story to them....but, I wouldn't agree to asking my Mom to be on to show...and I also thought it would kill my Dad to have his alcoholism history aired... Anyway... Perhaps one of her producers personally knows of celiac disease, or...

    Interesting question - I was diagnosed with 'a tarsal coalition' in both feet - confirmed via x-rays. This means that I was born without a joint between two tarsal bones, and the bones have since fused together, since I didn't get it diagnosed/treated in childhood. It is gentic (so I have had to tell my siblings to look for it in their kids, just like...

    Hi Claire - Good to see more info for you...and for others, too. I also found out, 4 years or so ago, that I have osteopenia, so I also need to get more serious about how to help my gut absorb more calcium... Anway, I am hoping you are going to do the Enterolab gene test - I'll be checking in occassionally on you... and George... and the other members...

    Hi, again, everyone - I got e-mails about this thread continuing - great to see new members adding on. Michael - thanks a ton for your well-thought out editions - I will consider all that you said. And, Julie - thanks, also, to you for your insight/thoughts and nice to get to know you- About the use of digestive enzymes potentially increasing...

    Dear Claire, I received an e-mail telling me that there was a reply to my casein antibodies post - it turned out to be your supportive post to me in which you also shared about learning of your test results, and about your writing this post after I had 'signed-off' on my last post. After reading it, I very much wanted to sign back on just to tag on...
  17. FaithInScienceToo
    Thanks, Claire! I have become overwhelmed with all of the new knowledge I need to 'digest' - pardon the pun - ...so, am going to sign-off for a while... I'll come back on next month to share what I learned about leaky gut syndrome, to let you guys know how my own attempts to try to heal mine is going, and to look for your thread about your bloodwork...
  18. FaithInScienceToo
    LOL...actually, that was a long built up "ARGH!!!!", accumulated over almost 11 months time ;-) ...thanks for the supportive reply, though, PAW! Gina PS - I'll probably wait another 11 months before you see another ARGH! from me... not in my character...but, someone invited me to get it out, so... ;-)
  19. FaithInScienceToo
    Welcome, Newbie! It took about 3 days before I started to feel better...within 2 weeks I knew I had my answer! I don't know how long it wil take for my leaky gut to heal, though... Going gluten-free wasn't enough to erase all digestive problems....although I feel like the spittin' image of health now compared to how I felt pre-gluten-free ... I...
  20. FaithInScienceToo
    OOPS - just added this to another thread you had posted on - am just copying and pasting here - Gina
  21. FaithInScienceToo
    I am sorry to hear that your gut is not healed yet...and that your doc delivered the news in a poor manner - Have you begun to look into ALL possible sources of gluten contamination? Did you doc mention that it can take longer than 6 months to heal? Also...I have seen threads on here that discuss other possible causes of villi damage...did your...

    ARGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    JoAnn - I think you missed that I was talking about 'IgA' levels, not 'anti-gliadin IgA' levels - As you will see, the person who posted the question had normal anti-gliadin IgA (and IgG), but her first result that she listed is NOT an 'antigliadin' result... it is for 'an overall IgA' in the blood - that can mean IgA to many things... Does that...

    Hi! OK...so, you have been told to get a new GP...I agree IF you call and insist that he give you a lab requisition for "A FULL Celiac Disease Blood Panel", and he says he won't - If he won't, before seeing a new doc, ask his/her receptionist if the doc orders those tests, if requested to by a patient, before wasting your time and money on a visit...
  25. FaithInScienceToo
    Sorry to tag on again, but your post got me into reading about 'gammopathy' - abnormal IgA, IgG, and or IgM levels... It made me think to tell you that you may want to consider asking your doc to blood test you for your overall IgG and IgM levels, too...and to re-test your overall IgA at the same time (in case it went down to normal, as it can fluctuate...
