I've heard critics in here say that everyone tests positive for gluten
sensitivity w/ EnteroLab. Not true. My friend's young adult son has been
chronically ill for years -- ADD, hypoglycemia, fatigue, intestinal upset --
the poor young man is getting worse & worse & now struggles just to
function. Thier family has all the typical ear marks of a CD family --
highly intelligent people, scoliosis, anxiety & depression, ADD, food
reactions, GI upset, hypoglycemia, diabetes, etc. They ordered the full
panel of EnteroLab tests (casien sensitivity, fat malabsorption, gene tests,
etc.). The results came back yesterday -- everything is negative.
Believe it or not, they are a bit disappointed because they STILL don't know
what the heck's ailing this young man (and actually the whole family).
Their family eats a good diet, but nothing seems to help. They even did a
week trial on the GF diet & there was absolutely NO improvement in any of
their symptoms (the mom actually felt WORSE). I wish I could help them. The
mom is currently exploring the ADD diet as described in Ezine articles & may
look into the oxalate issue. If any of you have suggestions beyond this,
I'll pass them along to her.
