I love the artichoke/jalapeno dip there, and the Chachi's salsa, and there was an honest-to-goodness gluten-free CAKE AND FROSTING MIX on the shelves recently! I bought one even though I had no need for a cake, just so that I could support their decision to carry something so special for us. I have a question. Has anyone determined whether the tri-tip...

Okay, I'm pretty sure I know what you guys are going to say, but I will ask anyway. I have a dilemma. I have tested positive through Enterolab, and my son has always been a bit fussy by nature (he's 15 months old) so I had him tested as well. His test came back positive, but look at the numbers: Fecal Antigliadin IGA 15 (normal <10) Fecal Antitissue...

That's awesome, being proactive and talking to a stranger like that! I am trying to learn to be so brave myself. Also, I'm hoping to put together an article to try to increase awareness along those lines on the Gather site (link in my sig). Something that gets people thinking about how it might be POSSIBLE that their symptoms have a reason and aren...

I'm sorry to hear you're not getting help from your docs! It is true that not everyone who thinks they have celiac disease/gluten intolerance necessarily has it, but there are a LOT LOT LOT of people who are told by doctors that they don't have it when they clearly do. My tests (Enterolab, blood work through regular doc) keep coming back positive and...

Maybe you could get those child-proofing things that only let you open a cabinet about an inch before you have to use the catch. Less blatantly insulting than a padlock, and if she asks you could just say "I know you forget sometimes that the pans have to stay separate, and I thought the catch would remind you before you accidentally used something." ...

ONION RINGS?! I could have ONION RINGS?! You just made my day. I'm going to try that as soon as possible!

You guys are making me SO HUNGRY! I may be gluten-free but I'm so glad I don't have to give up guacamole, filet mignon, or champagne! Hmm, preferably all in the same meal.

Hi everyone! I went away for a while, because doctor after doctor all said NO, you do NOT have celiac disease, you do NOT have a gluten intolerance, stop asking because we are not going to answer that question again. (I'm paraphrasing... the actual quote was "we're done pursuing that.") I went gluten-free for three months (AGAINST a "celiac expert...

There's a decent article about celiac disease in the latest issue of Good Houskeeping magazine (August). I had read the content on a web site before I think, must be a reprint, but it's good and mentions the many different symptoms etc. I am hoping to write a letter to the editor thanking them for the article and/or mentioning that you don't need to...

I'm glad you got your answers and that they were what you wanted! I posted on the post-testing board but not here... I did send away for the test and got my response the other day. It says I have a gluten intolerance but no malabsorbtion (I've been gluten-free for two months). Up till now I've been skeptical that gluten intolerance was part of...

I got the Crohn's test from them at the same time. You're right, the celiac test would not indicate this... but since several doctors insisted that I had Crohn's despite all tests up to that point being negative, I figured the extra $50 for that test would be worth it in the grand scheme of things. I still might have Crohn's (too? instead?) but perhaps...

Just posting in case this information helps someone... got my Enterolab results back and they say positive for gluten intolerance (and lactose intolerance) with no sign of Crohn's. Now I have nine opinions, and we're 3, 3, and 3. BUT, something else has changed! As I started Week 9 of being gluten-free, something amazing happened. The D stopped! ...

Thanks, everybody. I agree, you wouldn't go buying the test without a suspicion, and you wouldn't post here very often if it all came back negative, so I fully expected the majority of people here to test positive with Enterolab. I was just having a "suspicious moment." I got the test in the mail today and plan to send it back tomorrow. Either way...

Hey all, after my many doctor trials and tribulations, I've decided to do the celiac panel and genetic testing kit from Enterolab. The gluten-free diet isn't entirely working for me at six weeks into it (I'd call it inconclusive at this point), so I'm not sure the doctors are wrong that I don't have celiac disase. But I figured this extra test is worth...

That's a tough thing for me right now... so many times we have been told not to necessarily trust that the doctor knows best, but at what point do you stop asking and just accept the answer? I'm doing the Enterolab testing, mostly for the genetics to find out whether it's necessary to test my kids, but since the other tests are available at a discount I...
