In 2012, I had severe MC and inflammatory arthritis and had it for years. With strict dietary changes, I have been in remission for a long time. I regularly have C now. In the past few months, my arthritis has returned, so I retested.
I just received my newest Enterolab results and am interested in interpretations:
My Enterolab results from 5/22/12:
Mean Value 11 Antigenic Foods 17 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 27 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-casein (cow’s milk) IgA 5 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-ovalbumin (chicken egg) IgA 14 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-soy IgA 15 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
My Enterolab results from 3/3/2016:
Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 12 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-casein (cow’s milk) IgA 2 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-ovalbumin (chicken egg) IgA 2 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-soy IgA 2 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Mean Value 11 Antigenic Foods 2 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
My thoughts are that my dietary changes have paid off. I am still getting some gluten and need to try to find the source. I guess this is the cause of my arthritis. It seems that I wasn't sensitive to casein before and that is still true. YAY! My low numbers for egg and soy are due to my dietary changes - and that I am still sensitive to them.
Am I correct? Any other ideas for my arthritis?
Thank you!
Kathy
