ARCHIVED Enterolab Vs. Blood Test/blood Test Ranges
GFG replied to GFG's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
You know they have some symptoms that could be attributed (skin condition in my son; mysterious stomach aches, fatigue in my daughter) or could be explained by other things. We also did a milk allergy test and my daugther is allergic to whey. They tested positive both for the gene and manifestion of gluten intolerance via the Enterolab gene and stool test... -
ARCHIVED Enterolab Vs. Blood Test/blood Test Ranges
GFG replied to GFG's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Actually the entire panel you described was done for both the children; only the two tests I mentioned has returned to our doctor. I know you commented on a different post I did awhile ago that tTg is becoming the 'gold standard' for children's diagnosis. I've read that elsewhere as well. We are anxiously waiting the full results! Thanks for your thoughts... -

GFG replied to GFG's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks Kati; could you tell me what the tTG test is exactly? Is that what they do at Enterolab or a different test? If a different test do you know how it's administered (I looked it up online but it didn't indicate if it's a blood test, stool test, etc). Thanks so much ! -
ARCHIVED Diagnostic Methods And Second Opinions
GFG posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac via an Enterolab gene and stool test. It showed I have both a gene and the physical manifestations through the stool results. At this point my only symptom has been fatigue but the demands of my life (won't bore you here) could provide reason for that alone. I'm working with a nutritionist and MD who encouraged...
