  1. Yeah, I know what you mean about the expense. I can't really afford it either! hahah but I bought it just because I am so desperate to know for sure. Then, I know I will be completely faithful to the gluten free diet. And the York test looks good too, except I wonder if it tests for "gluten intolerance" too, or just Celiac Disease. It's like, I have SO many...
  2. OH my God! I am a 21 year old female and having ALL OF YOUR SYMPTOMS! I also am going to the GI a week from Wednesday and I am demanding that my doctor test me for Celiac. I was also diagnosed with IBS, and the IBS also started after an eating disorder. And every year, it just seems to be getting worse and worse. (And I don't have an eating disorder anymore...
  3. Just a quick few questions: 1. How long does it usually take to get the test results back from enterolab? 2. Are they more accurate than the tests taken by your GI? 3. Is it hard to do them yourself? Thanks!
  4. No, I didn't get the gene test. I figured that because I am going to the GI, she will be able to see if I am specifically a Celiac, but in case she does not get a positive for celiac, I wanted to go through enterolab to see if I am gluten intolerant. Am I wrong? I've been eating gluten for the past 2 months almost. Before that, I was on it, then off,...
  5. Thank you so much for trying to help. I did also order the "gluten sensitivity stool panel complete" from enterolab. This is supposed to check for reaction of the immune system to gluten in the diet; Stool Test for Tissue Transglutaminase (Gluten-induced reaction of the immune system to one of the body's important enzymes, tissue transglutaminase, causing...
  6. I have not taken any tests yet, and I am going to a GI in about a week now, but I want to make sure that I really could be right thinking I have Celiac Disease. So I have a few questions and if anyone could answer them in any way, I would soooooooo appreciate it!!!!! 1. I alternate between constipation and diarrhea, but I have constipation A LOT MORE....
  7. Wow! All of the symptoms you listed are completely me! I have horrible insomnia, also, I get up to go to the bathroom A LOT at night, and that restless leg thing you were talking about was my first muscle problem. Most of the time, that also keeps me up at night. I lay in bed, exhausted, and my leg (usually my left, latley my right) feels nervous or something...
  8. Thank you sooooo much for replying to me! Just reading this makes me want to cry because no one knows anything about Celiac Disease in my life, and as I tell them about it, I can tell they pity me but don't know anything to help me confirm it (at least put my mind at ease until I get the whole testing thing done with). So thank you! What specific symptoms...

    ARCHIVED Dr. Thinks Everything Is Ibs

    "By the way I was diagnosed through enterolab as gluten intolerant." May I ask what this enterolab is? I keep reading different posts and I see how people were confirmed through this. I am having TONS of problems with doctors, going to a new GI now. You are SOOOOOO right, they all think it's IBS. To tell you the truth, I don't even know if I believe...
  10. I also want to add then a lot of the time, I get floating stools, and noticed that is a sign of malnutrition and Celiac Disease. I told my fiance about it the other day and he thought it was weird. I never knew that could mean anything before, and I get that a lot! Sometimes in the middle of a bout of diarrhea, and sometimes, when I don't go at all for like...
  11. Well, I have been to NUMEROUS doctors regarding my health issues: 3 General Practitioners, 1 Gyno, 1 Allergist, 1 Rheum., 1 Urologist- and 1 GI going on another. (All in the past 5 years) I have pretty much had digestive problems my whole life. When I was a newborn, I couldn't drink any milk (mom's breast milk, no formula, no soy) except rice milk. When...
