Has anyone done ENTEROLAB and found no food intolerances?
Has anyone done ENTEROLAB and found no food intolerances or found nothing at all for what they check for.
I think we had one member a while back (No More Muffins, I think) who had low values for all of Enterolab tests and there was some speculation that she had an IgA deficiency. My values were low as well (gluten 17, casein 10 and soy 9) but I avoid all fo them because I feel better.

Here are no-more-muffins results. It should be noted, though, that her biopsy results from her colonoscopy exam were negative for MC, so it's not surprising that she would have all negative test results.
Gluten Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA: 6 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)
Fecal Anti-casein (cow's milk) IgA 8 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)
Fecal Anti-ovalbumin (chicken egg) IgA 2 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)
Fecal Anti-saccharomyces cerevisiae (dietary yeast) Ig 6 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)
Fecal Anti-soy IgA 9 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)
My own results were also all negative, but that was because I didn't order the tests until after I had already been following a GF, DF diet for over 3 years. I was sure that I was gluten-sensitive, (since the diet had already brought remission), and I have a copy of the most common celiac gene, also. Since I had been on the diet for so long, my test results for gluten and casein would have been negative, anyway, so I didn't order them. I ordered these tests just to remove any question about possible sensitivities to eggs, soy, and yeast. As you can see, the results were all negative, which certainly matches my experience, since I don't react to any of them.
Fecal anti-ovalbumin (chicken egg) IgA antibody 5 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)
Fecal Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae (dietary yeast) IgA 6 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)
Fecal Anti-Soy IgA 8 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

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.
