Thank you for clearing that up for me. I haven't really tried a strict gluten free diet. I assumed because the blood test wasn't positive that I didn't have much damage going on. But I am thinking of asking my doctor to check me when I have a colonoscopy if they can. I do have an upset stomach alot always have had. I did the stool test with Entrob lab first...

I was doing some online research trying to find out about carbs and the ear. I came upon this article by accident just thought it was interesting no big deal just wierd how things can be affecting us and we have no idea whats happening in our bodies. You have to read most of the article to get to any celiacs connection. How Lectin In Undercooked Red...

My cholesterol was 265 my doctor wanted me to take zocor. I started using the supplement advertised that lowers cholesterol and eating a couple apples a day. When I got tested again my cholesterol was 206. Also I noticed my cholesterol went down when I was getting b-12 shots. My doctor said no way would b-12 shots bring it down. I have a high homosystene...

Hi Doll, I am trying to work out my diet. I guess I am going to have to limit to just a couple things and start from there. It seems like changing my diet to eat gluten free is making me sick also. I can't find anything that really is agreeing with me. I ate a sweet potato on Saturday and had terrible acid reflux and was throwing up. So I had to wait...

I have been rereading the interpretations information page about test. Is it that I have DQ2 a main gene but it would be more serious if I had an 2 beside the DQ2 than having the 3. A 2 would make it a double gene. Then the 3 is a non-gluten sensitve gene. What is the subtype 2,7 in paratheses for if any thing? Because I don't have double gene then...

On one of the messages we got into lyme disease. I thought I would check into it. I left a message at my doctors office and was never called back. I called a lab that does lyme disease testing and ask them if they had a doctor that would be willing to call and talk to me and then order the test. The receptionist said she would call me back this week and...

Doll, I know with Menieres you have to watch salt and take diuretics. I agree with you there is some connection. Getting some postive result about celiacs maybe being part of my problem helps me feel more motivated cutting out some stuff. I am not sure if this is the right area to post but could you give me a run down on what you eat and drink in a...

Thanks for replying to my post. You all are so smart about so much. I need to read up on gluten more and understand what it is. I have been looking at gluten free foods trying to decide how to go about getting off everything. One problem I have is I feel so blah to think of trying to eat different is over whelming. I know I am going to have to do it...

Hathor, I do know about mal de debarquement syndrome. I have the feeling of motion all the time but its not from being on a vehicle type thing. The doctors think its damage to the nerves giving off singles that aren't there. I also have a lot of problem focusing my eyes. To me things are moving in my vision even if they are still. If I ride on an elevator...

No I hadn't gone gluten free. Thing is I mainly live off rice and have for years. Maybe I have been eating a way my body has been telling me for a reason I didn't realize. I have been eating wheat products just that I eat one meal a day and its usually rice based. I am not a big meat eater either. I am home bound from inner ear disease and don't eat like...

I thought that if the gene testing showed no genetic gene then I most diffinately couldn't have celiacs disease. I had bloodwork for antibodies for celiacs done and they were normal. I did a stool test for celiacs last year that was 20. I just thought if this was negative would diffenately tell me I didn't have it. Linda

Here is what entrolab sent me as a result of my test. Not sure I get it completely. I do but not completely. Should I request a biopsy of my intestines? My doctor did antibody testing through blood work and it was normal. Does that mean I am not having damge enough to produce antibodies? Thanks anyone Linda EnteroLab www.enterolab.com -----...

Hi CarlaB, This is really shocking. I have all but the rashes on the symptoms list. I have never considered lymes disease. I live in Florida and until recent years it wasn't around here. I have never been an out doors person another reason I haven't considered it. These symptoms for me have been going on for 25 years. Is it more difficult for testing...

Kaydee, I had the same experience as you. I first got the gluten stool test. It was positve 20. I had blood work by my doctor that was negative. I sent off almost 2 weeks ago to entrolab for the genetic test. If it comes back positive I am going to show it to my doctor. I think it will motivate him to allow me a biopsy when I get a colonoscopy. If its...

Thanks Calle and Rho, Linda
