<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> My doc has approved (based on my moderately elevated levels of IgG) the use of the stool test by Dr. Kenneth Fine (Enterolab). Dr. Fine worked for 10 years at UT Southwestern (my old stomping grounds). I researched his background and work with doctors on staff there that I know personally. They agreed that this is a good route to go instead of the biopsy. They said that they feel in the future this will become the standard for testing. I talked with Dr. Fine today via email and he says based on my blood tests he already considers me gluten intolerant. However, he said I could go ahead with the malabsorption test and the intestional IgA antibodies. I've read through this website but I'm still confused about Celiac and have questions. Can you be gluten intolerant and not have Celiac? What is the difference? If you are gluten intolerant and don't have Celiac "disease" does that mean you can eat gluten "sometimes". Is Dr. Fine saying that I have Celiac disease? This is all so complicated to my "little" mind. Thanks very much in advance for your help. Jill DFW area (Texas)
