thinking about entero lab test

Post by armstrongpilot »

thinking about taking the plunge. What are the tests that are recommended? I've been off Endocort for 3 weeks. Hopefully that won't skew results.


Are they super helpful?

Most of us who've used those tests consider them to be the best money we ever spent on our health care. I would call the lab and ask them how long I needed to be off Entocort before ordering. How long you've been using it matters also. If you've been using it for about 6 months or less, it may not matter. If you've been using it for a year or more, it will definitely matter. They can give you an accurate recommendation.

Unless they'e vegetarians or vegans, most people order the A1 plus the C1 panels.

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.
