Zonulin Test

Post by Annecz »

Hello!

Thank you to everyone in this forum for contributing all the helpful information and answering endless questions. This forum has helped me tremendously to navigate through this very difficult time in my life, and I can’t imagine where I’d be without the advice offered here.

I’ve been symptom free from CC for eight months and carefully watch what I eat. My Enterolab results from eight months ago showed high reactions to ALL foods tested. I recently had a Zonulin test which resulted in a score of 15 (50 and below is considered good). Would this indicate that there’s been significant gut healing and it may be safe to test some of the Enterolab foods I tested very high in (i.e. chicken, cashews, tuna, etc.), or should I continue to stay away from these foods?

If that test was done on a fecal sample, then the answer is, "Yes, but proceed with caution." If that was a serum test (based on a blood sample), then I would be very, very careful, because the utility of that test hasn't really been established yet.

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.
