I just got results back from Enterlab and basically it just tells you if you are gluten intolerent which if you were sick before a gluten-free diet and now after a gluten-free diet you are not sick...you may have concluded that. I was eagerly waiting for the results and managed to get on a phone with a woman who know Dr. Fine and also know Dr. Peter Greene...

Wow! An entire forum on sleeping pills, just up my alley. I am an international flight attendant, a sleeping pill pro. I had been taking Ambein for several years every night and went to my Dr. to see about Lunesta. I did not feel as though Ambein was safe daily. She replied that she did not like to prescribe "new" drugs for sleeping and switched me to a...

Wow! this thread is very interesting. I just ordered a test from Enterlab myself. I am getting the basic Gluten test done. What tests did you get from them? I came back on the board to ask what the general thought was on this lab. Can someone tell me what they think of them? I am so sympathic about your need to "just a answer!" My husband said if a Gluten...

So after talking to a couple of friends who are well versed in Celiac and the diagnoises. I got a copy of the blood tests to have them looked over by somone else. And in the meantime I have been eating gluten free, not getting to wrapped up but still leary of my ER visit. I will stay Gluten free for several weeks and then have a big pasta dinner and a beer...

Thanks so much for your responses! I did recieve a call from my doctor that said the blood tests were negative. So that's 2 negatives BUT I have been on a strict gluten free diet for just 4 days and feel much less bloating. (missing a decent tasting cookie, tho) So I was wondering if maybe I could slim my diet down to wheat free? I will do some research...

So! I did a little backtracking with my old GI they were very nice and sent over my results from an endoscopy taken in 2003. He did check from sprue and it read: Fragments of duodenal musosa with reactive changes. No villous atrophy. So I take that as a no. Even though the Er doctor last week sent blood work off for Celiac. I think it is happening backwards...

Hello, Well, my GI appointment was yesterday and it was disappointing. I have learned by reading online that this iis often the case. My doctor gave celiac the "wave off" telling me my symptoms sounded like IBS. Fortunately, the Emergency room Doctor had already drawn blood and sent it off for testing. Otherwise, I may not have been able to convince my GI...

Good Luck to you too! I got a bit bummed yesterday but today I pulled myself up by the boot straps and told myslef that it may be a real blessing to finally figured why I feel so bad after I eat! I just want some energy and relief. The doctor told me my body was not absorbing protein...keep me posted onyour results too!

Thanks for your responses. Luckliy, the appointment is soon. (Monday)

Hi! This is my first post and I have a question. I have been in and out of symptoms for quite some time but of course was diagnoised with IBS. Over the last few months my symptoms have been out of control and yesterday I ended up in the ER and the ER doctor did some blood work that may have indicated I may have celiac disease. I had already made an appt....
