Good evening...I am newly diagnosed w lymphocytic MC. Symptomatic first in August 2020, diagnosed September. I have never had any problems in my 63 yrs (except migraines), have always eaten whatever I wanted. No allergies, no other health problems. This has truly hit me!
My EnteroLab results are as follows but I am unsure how to interpret them and would greatly appreciate any help you can give me. I have been taking 9 mg of budesonide since end of September and have been feeling almost normal. My diet consists of rice Chex, Cheerios, chicken, white rice, gluten free bread, turkey, avocado, canned peaches, macadamia milk.
I do not have any 0+ or 1+ reactions, only 2+ and 3+. It seems very ominous, like everything is going to effect me. Could the budesonide be masking symptoms? I have no idea how to proceed and am ever thankful for any help????
Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score 421 Units (Normal Range is less than 300 Units)
Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 229 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-casein (cow’s milk) IgA 36 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-ovalbumin (chicken egg) IgA 37 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)
Fecal Anti-soy IgA 59 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

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: Corn
Grain toward which you displayed intermediate immunologic reactivity: Oat
Grain toward which you displayed the least immunologic reactivity: Rice
Meats:
Meat toward which you displayed the most immunologic reactivity: Beef
Meat toward which you were next most immunologically reactive: Chicken
Meat toward which you displayed intermediate immunologic reactivity: Tuna
Meat toward which you displayed the least immunologic reactivity: Pork
Nuts:
Nut toward which you displayed the most immunologic reactivity: Walnut
Nut toward which you displayed intermediate immunologic reactivity: Almond
Nut toward which you displayed the least immunologic reactivity: Cashew
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.

Re: Newly diagnosed need EnteroLab interpretation help
I am new to the group. Thank you for posting your EnteroLab results. I look forward to hearing what the group at large has to offer you. This must be very overwhelming. Sometimes it does feel like we are walking through a mine field. Hope the group can help you navigate this and find a way to balance. All the best, Laura
