    Hi! I know this is an old thread, but I've just received Enterolab gene test results and I have the exact same one as you. Did you end up finding out more about it? And if so, would you mind sharing? Thanks so much!!!

    They said "well, we didn't see an ulcer per se, but everything is raw and inflamed from the esophagus on down as far as we went. We're going to say you have GERD." They told me to take a heavy prescription anti-acid, and to eat more whole grains and a "Mediterranean diet" with little meat. Basically, my GI and his staff had no idea what was wrong with...

    Hi everyone, Yes, I misspoke; I don't have extra genes in my DNA, lol! Here is what I got from Enterolab: Gluten Sensitivity Gene Test HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0202 HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0301 Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 2,3 (Subtype 2,7) Interpretation Of HLA-DQ Testing: Although...

    Hi there! I've just received my gene test results, so I'm reporting back: I have double copies of HLA-DQ 2,3 (Subtype 2,7). Does anyone know of studies or have personal experiences to share with this gene profile? Ravenwoodglass, you mentioned different recognized genes in other countries, including yours - is this one of them, do you know? Thank...

    Have either of you who have responded (or anyone else) tried the Enterolab tests? I am thinking of trying these instead of going to another doctor right away, since apparently testing intestinal matter doesn't require the same level of gluten ingestion as a blood test would to get meaningful results (or so says the website). I am thinking that maybe this...

    Hi all, Thanks again for your replies and guidance! Just got my print-out of my test results, so I figured I'd post them for input. Looks like they did 2 tests on me: Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody, IGA <3 U/ml Reference Range: Negative <5 Equivocal 5-8 Positive >8 Immunuglobulin A [i think this is the Total IgA...

    Thank you for sharing your advice and experience! Although it's miserable, I'm thinking strongly of doing the challenge and re-testing, since I have a family history of several cancers and osteoporosis, and I'm the first one in my family to even consider testing for any food issues at all (my parents think this is all a hoax or something). So, I think I...

    Thank you so much for your reply, ravenwoodglass! I'm really on the fence about doing the challenge, and I think I will definitely start with the gene test since that doesn't depend on present gluten intake. The only thing that makes me think I might benefit from doing a challenge and re-testing (plus biopsy) is that I've been in a false-negative situation...

    Hi all, I'm new to the site and to the world of food issues, but I've had horrible stomach/intestine burning pain after eating on and off for about 15 years. At times, it has made me vomit (rarely - I have a strong stomach for nausea), and once there was blood (scared me to death!). Usually, though, an attack will simply leave me in searing pain for...
