I’m newly diagnosed by biopsy and assured by my Gastroentrologist that it is definitely not diet related. Awfully glad I was directed to these boards! I do brew kombucha and am curious if it is considered a trigger. I would like to have testing done for sensitivities but, when I went to enterolabs website, they have LOTS of different options. I need direction to what tests are applicable to my issues. I’m sorry if these are common questions and I missed it in searching for the answers before posting. I’d also love to know if anyone can recommend a good dr in Birmingham Alabama?
Thanks so much!
Which tests are recommended for a new lc, dx?

Re: Which tests are recommended for a new lc, dx?
Hi,
Welcome to the group. Regarding, kombucha, as far as I'm aware, prebiotic's and probiotic type foods help very, very few of us to recover, although a few individuals swear by them. For some of us, probiotics cause us to react, but for most of us they simply make no difference. The American Gastroenterological Association Institute began to agree with our recommendations in December, 2015 when they reversed their position, and began recommending against the use of probiotics for treating microscopic colitis patients.
The tests from EnteroLab that most of us order are the A1 panel plus the C1 panel. The combination usually has a discounted price, and it covers virtually all of the foods to which most of us react. Vegans or vegetarians should order the A2 panel plus the B2 panel.
I hope this helps. Again, welcome aboard, and please feel free to ask anything.

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.
