Thanks Tex! That absolutely makes sense. You are correct about the way the Enterolab results were stated, I guess the way I stated it was just my mental "interpretation." :smile:

Appreciate the clarification!

Tex,

Thanks for all the explanations re antibodies----I don't see having antibodies as a necessarily bad thing... I make antibodies to insulin because it is exogenous and the body sees it as foreign, so it is a normal reaction. It's a body that's working good and identifying those things that are alien. Am I wrong in understanding it this way?

You're quite correct, of course.

The production of antibodies is necessary in order to complete the immunization process that's initiated by a vaccine, also, for example.
