    Search for "deamidated gliadin". My understanding is that the wheat in the US has deamidated gliadin and that Europe doesn't allow for the import of our wheat. I believe Dr. Davis, from Wheat Belly, stated that on an Underground Wellness podcast.

    [quote name='Skylark' timestamp='1307861997'] ... there were people in Fine's data who were negative for anti-gliadin and still felt better gluten-free. [/quote] Also, Dr. O'Bryan states that up tp 50% of those tested will test negative with anti-gliadin. That is why they have their new test which test for about 9 or 10 other...

    This is what you stated earlier: "And she had allergy test at 1 that just showed some egg/peanut sensitivity". I would recommend completely removing any foods that she has any response to. Maybe not a dairy issue at 1 because she hadn't had any yet?? I am not sure how that works. Dairy issues, as others have said, can go hand-in-hand with gluten sensitivity...

    Did you see the results on paper? I would double check to see how many samples they took. They should have taken 4-6 different samples because the false negatives go way up if they take fewer. Might want to ask. Also, I heard that the anti-gliadin (I believe it was anti-gliadin) isn't useful for kids under two. They don't produce the anti-biodies...

    What are your thoughts on this post by Dr. Ford regarding the time off gluten and accurate blood testing? Daughter off gluten for 1 month with 2-3 "mistakes". Could the results sitll be accurate....as far as blood accuracy goes? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Antibody tests: tTG, EMA, DGP, IgG-gliadin, IgA-gliadin...

    Just to add another positive anti-tTTG test from Enterolabs. My 6 year old daughter's test read 19 units with <10 being normal.

    [quote name='Lori2' timestamp='1309641256'] A year ago, when my celiac panel came back negative, I did the Enterolab stool testing. My anti-gliaden was positive (219, normal less than 10) but I do not have the DQ2 or DQ8 gene. Since I could find no understandable information about anti-TTG, I had to ignore it. How significant is my anti...

    All I meant is that people dismiss the information. I meant nothing else by the comment and I certainly didn't mean it as a disregard to your opinions! I'm not that kind of person to be that way on a forum post. I was mad when writing because I had just spent money on something that I am now thinking was the wrong choice (that I didn't know at the time...

    Oh, and I am aware that there is no test for GS. What I meant is that I probably will not go as far as a biopsy for my 6 year old since those can be false, as well. If I can get "closer" to a positive, then I will be done testing!

    WOW. New to this forum and really stressed about this situation. Thanks for the support! I wasn't asking about anything I had previously asked about. I was asking if I should wait for the Transglutaminace BEFORE I get the blood test at my docs. I guess I will find another forum to post my questions so I don't offend anyone.

    I just ordered the Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase Antibodytest through Enterolabs (did the GS testing so they already had the sample). I am now interested in the Cyrex Labs Array panel 3. Should I wait for the Enterolabs report to come back or do people poo-poo that test, too? I cann't keep "wasting money" if that is what I am doing by ordering these Enterolab...

    Thanks, will do!

    I listen to Dr. Tom O'Bryan and he states that only 1 in 8 have the gastrointestional symptoms- 1 of 8 have the silent signs. This is theOpen Original Shared Linkfrom the New England Journal of Medicine that got me interested in testing. There seems to be a possible link. Also, I have read that it can be caused by a Vit. B12 deficiency. So, my thought...

    Thanks everyone. I had her tested for gluten sensitivity through Enterolabs because of the ease of the stool test. She's 6 and if I could avoid a blood draw, I would. I am talking to my doc about the blood test but don't we all know how unreliable that is, at least for celiac diagnosis. Is the blood test more reliable for gluten sensitivity testing? ...

    I got my daughter tested for gluten sensitivity through Enterolabs and she came back positive (73 units, <10=normal). I'm reading a lot about the stool test debates. Is it just that some think it is a test for celiac when it's actually for GS? OR, is it the test altogether? Do some think a positive gluten sensitivity test could actually be negative...
