Entero Lab

[and3008]

I was diagnosed with CC 10 years ago and I have just lived with it...neither of the Gastrologists suggested any meds. I am probably considered middle of the road as far as diarrhea frequencies. But as I approach 70, I feel like a change is needed in my diet. Unfortunately, I am pre-diabetic, take a statin for cholesterol, have thyroid issues (I had a thyroidectomy) - so finding a diet to accommodate all these issues has become a challenge. I have decided to try the Entero Lab test. I have been to the website. Which of the many tests should I take? Thanks so much for this site!

Hello and3008

I get the A1 & C1 panels.

One selling point for diet restriction for MC. Since going on a restrictive diet I have had the unintended benefits of lower blood pressure, lower triglycerides and raising my HDL. My LDL went down from 280 to 120 but I imagine part of that is due to the half dose of cholestyramine I take before bed. I no longer take any prescription meds other than the cholestyramine. My point is; you may see additional benefits with restricting your diet along with keeping MC at bay.

I agree with John. The A1 + C1Test Panel Combination should tell you everything you need to know about the food sensitivities associated with MC. And I also agree with him that the restricted diet most of us follow in order to control our MC usually provides many additional long-term health benefits that we never expected.
