For some reason the reactivity ranking did not come out in a table when I copied and pasted. Corn through white potato showed no significant reaction. Oat show some reaction and cashew and walnut showed the most reaction.
Comprehensive Gluten/Antigenic Food Sensitivity Stool Panel
Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 21 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-casein (cow’s milk) IgA 8 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-ovalbumin (chicken egg) IgA 11 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-soy IgA 10 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Mean Value 11 Antigenic Foods 7 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
While all of the foods tested can be immune-stimulating, the hierarchy of reactions detected were as follows:
Food to which there was no significant immunological reactivity: Food to which there was some immunological reactivity (1+): Food to which there was moderate immunological reactivity (2+): Food to which there was significant and/or the most immunological reactivity (3+):
Corn
Rice
Beef
Chicken
Pork
Tuna
Almond
White potato
Oat
None Walnut
Cashew
Within each class of foods to which you displayed multiple reactions, the hierarchy of those reactions detected were as follows:
Grains:
Grain toward which you displayed the most immunologic reactivity: Oat
Nuts:
Nut toward which you displayed the most immunologic reactivity: Walnut
Nut toward which you displayed intermediate immunologic reactivity: Cashew
Gluten Sensitivity Gene Test
HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0301
HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0603
Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 3,1 (Subtype 7,6)
And this is the interpretation of gene results:
Interpretation of HLA-DQ Testing: Although you do not possess the HLA-DQB1 genes predisposing to celiac disease (HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8), HLA gene analysis reveals that you have two copies of a gene that predisposes to non-celiac gluten sensitivity, in your case HLA-DQB1*0301 and HLA-DQB1*0603. Having two copies of a gluten sensitive gene means that each of your parents and all of your children (if you have them) will possess at least one copy of the gene. Two copies also means there is an even stronger predisposition to gluten sensitivity than having one gene, and the resultant immunologic gluten sensitivity may be more severe. This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by the American Red Cross - Northeast Division. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Seems I need to have a talk with my 3 children.

My Enterolab Results
LC diagnosed July 2014
Gigi,
Since your overall score on the 11 other antigenic foods was only 7, none of them should present much of a problem for you, but most of us here react to oats (because the aveinin in oats is similar to the gluten in wheat), so it might be a good idea to avoid oats, just to be on the safe side. It typically takes much longer to begin reacting to oats if they haven't been a part of your diet for a while, so just trying it for a few meals doesn't always work. For example, it took me 6 weeks to begin reacting to it, but once the reaction began, it lasted for 6 weeks, also.
Do you mind if I add your results to our list here?

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.
Yes Tex, please do post my results. Thank you so much for your input. Funny thing about oats is that for as long as I can remember, eating a bowl of oatmeal would give me a stomachache. Overall I was not shocked by these results and I actually am somewhat relieved. I had a fear that I would be reactive to rice and corn but it appears those are okay for me. I suppose that avoiding casein for a time is still advised. I'm not sure I fully understand why but I'm willing to do it.

Anyone who has enteritis (intestinal inflammation) is lactose intolerant, because the brush border regions of the small intestine shut down production of lactase enzyme until the inflammation subsides. As a result, even a case of the flu will typically cause lactose intolerance.Gigi wrote:I suppose that avoiding casein for a time is still advised.

With a negative casein test result, you should be able to tolerate lactose-free or low-lactose dairy products. Aged cheeses and yogurt are possibilities. Some members avoid dairy products even if they can tolerate casein, until they are in stable remission, to minimize the risk of digestive system distress.
Thanks, I'll add your results.

I forgot to mention in my first response — the reason why copying tables into a post doesn't work very well is because bulletin board php code removes most of the formatting when it is interpreted by most browsers (unfortunately).
