Individual Tests

Stool Test for Gluten Sensitivity ($99)
Test	What It Tests For	Meaning of Positive Result
Screening test for gluten sensitivity (Fecal antigliadin IgA antibody*)	Reaction of the immune system to gluten in the diet	Immune system considers gluten a foreign protein causing a reaction that may damage the intestine and other tissues of the body Top

Stool Test for Cow's Milk Protein (Casein) Sensitivity ($99)
Test	What It Tests For	Meaning of Positive Result
Stool test (fecal IgA antibody*) for immunologic sensitivity to the main proteins contained in cow's milk and other dairy products	Reaction of the immune system to casein in cow's milk and dairy products in the diet	Immune system considers cow's milk proteins casein foreign causing a reaction that may damage the intestine and other tissues of the body Top

Stool Test for Intestinal Nutrient Malabsorption/Intestinal Damage ($99)
Test	What It Tests For	Meaning of Positive Result
Quantitative fecal fat microscopy*	Malabsorption of dietary nutrients caused by damage of the small intestine, or sometimes lack of enzyme production by the pancreas	Small intestine may be damaged by reaction of immune system to gluten, or other diseases as well; pancreas may be underfunctioning, requiring use of oral enzyme supplements Top

Stool Test for Acute/Chronic Colitis ($49)
Test	What It Tests For	Meaning of Positive Result
Stool test detecting a protein found in inflammatory cells (lactoferrin from neutrophils).	A good diagnostic test for people with diarrhea of unknown origin, or to rule out colitis in anyone with intestinal symptoms. Detects acute and/or chronic inflammatory reactions in the intestine (mainly the colon). It is more sensitive and specific than the older stool method used for this purpose (stool WBC microscopy).	Strongly positive in Crohn's colitis, ulcerative colitis, and acute bacterial colitis; also positive in some people with microscopic colitis. Can be used to determine if colitis is active. Top

Gene Test for Gluten Sensitivity/Celiac Sprue ($149)
Test	What It Tests For	Meaning of Positive Result
HLA-DQ testing from swab of inside of mouth	Presence of one or more genes that have been associated with having gluten sensitivity, celiac sprue, and other autoimmune syndromes	You may be predisposed to developing immunologic sensitivity to gluten or celiac sprue Top

Stool Test for Chicken Egg (Ovalbumin) Protein Sensitivity ($99)
Test	What It Tests For	Meaning of Positive Result
Stool test (fecal IgA antibody*) for immunologic sensitivity to the ovalbumin protein in chicken eggs	Reaction of the immune system to the ovalbumin protein in chicken eggs in the diet	Immune system considers the ovalbumin protein  foreign, causing a reaction that may damage the intestine and other tissues of the body. Top

Stool Test for Dietary Yeast Sensitivity ($99)
Test	What It Tests For	Meaning of Positive Result
Stool test (fecal IgA antibody*) for immunologic sensitivity to the dietary yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae	Reaction of the immune system to the dietary yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae	Immune system considers Saccharomyces cerevisiae foreign causing a reaction that may damage the intestine and other tissues of the body, and/or possibly lead to the development of or indicate the presence of Crohn's Disease. Top

Stool Test for Soy Sensitivity ($99)
Test	What It Tests For	Meaning of Positive Result
Stool test (fecal IgA antibody*) for immunologic sensitivity to soy protein	Reaction of the immune system to soy protein in the diet	Immune system considers soy foreign causing a reaction that may damage the intestine and other tissues of the body. Top

Stool Test for Sensitivity to Tissue Transglutaminase ($99)
Test	What It Tests For	Meaning of Positive Result
Screening test for sensitivity to tissue transglutaminase (Fecal anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibody*)	Reaction of the immune system to the tissue transglutaminase enzyme produced by the body when gluten is ingested	Immune system considers tissue transglutaminase a foreign substance causing an autoimmune reaction that may damage the intestine and other tissues of the body.

What Happens After Tests Are Ordered

After tests are ordered online, you will receive a confirmation of your order by email. Stool and/or mouth swab collection materials will be sent to you by priority mail. Instructions on how to collect your specimens, and on how to call for pickup of your specimen(s) by DHL for overnight return mailing will be enclosed. Once your specimens are received by EnteroLab they will be processed immediately for analysis. Please allow up to 3 weeks for results to be emailed to you, although we will make every effort to get your results to you as soon as possible.

Each test panel for an additional person has to be ordered separately and consequently has to assume its own shipping charge. The reason for this is that the kits have to be packaged very specially for return overnight shipping because they are laboratory specimens. This special packaging will only accept one specimen container. Shipping in separate containers also helps avoid specimen mix-ups in the laboratory. (Even if specimens could be shipped together, it really would not amount to much of a cost savings because these type of shipping costs are calculated by weight and size of the package, and a twice-larger package, double the weight would be roughly double the cost anyway.)

If you would like to submit the cost of tests to your insurance company for reimbursement, the invoice emailed to you after you ordered contains the proper codes to do so. We cannot guarantee reimbursement of our tests by your insurance company.

Because of charges to us by our credit card merchant account to refund credit cards and for our costs incurred on the test materials and for their shipping, requested refunds unfortunately must sacrifice $40 of the originally charged amount. We apologize for this fact. Top

We at EnteroLab are honored to be given the opportunity to help you attain optimal intestinal and overall health. Thank you!
