Couple questions before using EnteroLab

Post by Bama12 »

1. Should I eat normally or can I begin the elimination diet?
2. Should I ask my GI to test for IgA ? Whatever ?

I go back to my GI Wednesday, I was going to see if he would order the labs thru EnteroLab.
But I've been anxious to start the elimination diet.

I have Tex's book, but can't seen to wrap my head around all these different terms.
Plus, I read when I go to bed....and usually fall asleep :grin:
Not that your book is boring Tex , I'm just not that smart ....he he

Thanks

If you want to be sure that you do not have selective IgA deficiency (Many food sensitivity tests will yield unreliable results for someone who has IgA deficiency), then a simple blood test will provide that information. Any doctor can do that test for you.

You can begin the elimination diet if you wish to do so. As long as you send your sample to EnteroLab within a couple of months or so after beginning the diet, the results should be accurate.

I tried to define most of the medical terms used in the book, but yes, you have to be awake in order to comprehend them. LOL.

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.
