Another Question about Enterolab testing
I thought that I would ask my Dr. to order the A & C Panel combo from Enterolab and pay for the genetic test, which is $150 out of pocket. Does that sound like the most helpful, Tex? I know that you told someone else you thought Panel B was good because of the genetic testing, but does it test something else that I wouldn't get from A & C?

Hi Jane,
As far as I am aware, the only difference between the Panel A and Panel B tests is the gene test. It's a shame that they don't offer a combination of Panel B and Panel C, because that would probably save the patient $50 off the total cost, but since they don't offer that option, adding the gene test to the combination of Panel A and Panel C is the cheapest way to get all of those particular tests.
The results from that test combination should provide a lot of valuable information about the details of how your digestive system and your immune system are interacting.

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.
