I finally was able to interpret my enterolab results from 3 years ago. Can someone help me interpret them? I've been GF for 3 years now, but still having D. What other tests should I have done from enterolab?
A) Gluten Sensitivity Stool and Gene Panel Complete *Best test/best value
Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 413 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-tissue Transglutaminase IgA 123 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score Less than 300 Units (Normal Range is less than 300 Units)
Fecal Anti-casein (cow’s milk) IgA 23 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0301
HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0602
Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,1 (Subtype 7,6)
Acute/Chronic Colitis Stool Test
Fecal lactoferrin Negative (Normal - Negative)
Help interpret enterolab results?

Hi Piano Girl,
That's a relatively high anti-gliadin result. Apparently you had been reacting to gluten for quite a while before you ordered the test. If you aren't already doing so, the test results show that you should be avoiding all dairy products, also.
If you aren't also avoiding soy (and all legumes) and eggs, it might be a good idea to either also cut them out of your diet for at least a couple of weeks or so to see if that helps, or else order a test to see if you're sensitive to them. And if avoiding gluten, dairy, soy, and eggs doesn't bring remission, then it would probably be a good idea to order test Panel C (for the other 11 antigenic foods), to see what else is causing problems.
Do you mind if I add your results to our list?

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Don't be surprised if you still show gluten (anti-gliadin) antibodies. Cross-contamination is so common that it takes almost super-human effort (and a lot of luck) to avoid getting at least trace amounts of gluten in our diet.
Thanks, I added your results to the lists:
