I got these back in FOUR DAYS!!!!! :)
Comprehensive Gluten/Antigenic Food Sensitivity Stool Panel:
Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 89 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-casein (cow’s milk) IgA 10 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-ovalbumin (chicken egg) IgA 6 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-soy IgA 14 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Mean Value 11 Antigenic Foods 13 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Grains:
Grain toward which you displayed the most immunologic reactivity: Oat
Grain toward which you displayed intermediate immunologic reactivity: Corn
Grain toward which you displayed the least immunologic reactivity: Rice
Meats:
Meat toward which you displayed the most immunologic reactivity: Tuna
Meat toward which you were next most immunologically reactive: Chicken
Meat toward which you displayed intermediate immunologic reactivity: Beef
Nuts:
Nut toward which you displayed the most immunologic reactivity: Walnut
Nut toward which you displayed intermediate immunologic reactivity: Almond
Nightshades:
You displayed immunologic reactivity to white potato, the member of the nightshade family usually consumed most often and in greatest quantities. While this does not necessarily mean you would react to all other nightshade foods (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant), it is possible. In the realm of elimination diets for immunologic disorders, nightshades are usually eliminated as the entire food class (i.e., all four previously mentioned foods in this class). This is especially important to the clinical setting of arthritis.

My Enterolab Results

Diagnosed November 2004, Used Asacol and Lialda, sometimes worked, sometimes made it worse. Entocort always works but hate it. Remission only lasts 3-6 months and then back on Entocort. Enterolab test July 2017, now gluten free. Time will tell!

With an overall score of only 13 on the 11 other antigenic foods, you should be OK with rice and beef, and you may be able to tolerate chicken and corn as long as you don't eat them every day.
Do you mind if I add your results to the list at Food Sensitivity Test Results For Names K–Z?

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.
Most certainly - feel free to share - the information can only help and it certainly won't hurt me. Hell, we've shared a lot more personal stuff on here than lab results. :)tex wrote:With an overall score of only 13 on the 11 other antigenic foods, you should be OK with rice and beef, and you may be able to tolerate chicken and corn as long as you don't eat them every day.

Question, please. Eggs came back safe so I added them back in today. I'm not sure if it was the eggs or something else but something caused a very bad reaction (watery D) and now I've got stomach pains. I'm going to replicate everything I ate today again tomorrow but will REMOVE the eggs to see if the same thing happens. I was thrilled to see that eggs were safe since they are such a quick, easy means of protein but I'm not sure my gut is so thrilled. :(
Can the results be wrong in this case or do I just need to wait till I've been gluten free a lot longer before I put eggs back in?

two things that may be the reason why you are reacting to eggs and given your high gluten score on the test, either or both of these may apply;
- if the chickens are feed a high gluten based diet, then you may be getting secondary gluten contamination from the eggs.
- there is a situation where some foods, and eggs is one of them, that the body reacts the same, as if it is gluten, called gluten cross reactors, this happened to me recently and there is a post with info and list of foods in the main message board within the past month.
Given your high rest result, and WD reactions to some ingredients, I would suggest avoiding as much as possible the food items that are classed as cross reactors to gluten, until you can reduce inflammation levels, get good levels of Vit D3 and magnesium in your body to optimise healing (at least 8 weeks)

Thanks, I'll add the results to the list.
In addition to what Gabes posted, it's possible to be sensitive to a food even though it tests out just fine because of a protein in the food that wasn't tested. These tests have to be very specific. Because of that EnteroLab tests for a sensitivity to egg albumen (egg white) because that's the protein in egg that most people are likely to react to. It's not common, but it's possible to be sensitive to the egg yolk. If you can confirm that you do react to chicken eggs, you might be able to use duck eggs.

Thanks Gabe and Tex.
Gabe: As you were typing your reply to me I was reading your posts about the gluten cross-reactors.... makes sense.
Tex: You answered my next question before I asked it and it was going to be if you knew if Entero was testing for the egg white or the egg yolk. Maybe in a few days I'll try hard boiled eggs again but throw away the yolk and only eat the white.
I'm going to go Google the "Eggland's Best" eggs I ate. They are the kind that are already cooked and peeled when you buy them. Convenient as all hell but not if the time I saved cooking them is spent in the bathroom instead.
