Have you heard much about the reliability of Analytical Research Lab??

Also from the tests that you are recommending like the stool and saliva tests and any other reliable blood tests can I get them done from Australia?

When I first first being treated I did a hair sample test, I think it was called a tissue mineral analysis test. It showed the heavy metals in my body. I was off the charts in aluminum and high in nickle. This also gave a snap shot of my adrenal health also as well as mineral deficiencies I had. So I would add a hair sample test for minerals and heavy metals to this list.

Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) can support GI tract healing from Ulcers and Gastritis and they are much more effective than using something like a PPI, which suppresses stomach acid.

What are DGL instead of PPI’s, I have Leaky Gut and Adrenal Deficiency, just got RA in addition to Hypothyroid and Fibromyalgia most of life. Chronic gut candida for 20 years, can’t get rid of it. Pain and agony on me! Pred for RA swelling landed me in the hospital, had to decrease it, so adrenals no longer resting and don’t like it, but no choice. Leaky gut, I try to avoid gluten and grains, goitrogens, nightshades, eat no dairy or soy, on Paleo, high protein low carbs, lots of veggies, body likes it. Candida and leaky gut, malabsorption, and low cortisol are my main problems w/ rashes and fatigue, etc. Big mess! Help!

That’s a great question Don. If you’ve been doing SCD and avoiding gluten for a while, hopefully the biopsies will show normal, or only partial villous atrophy. I think with your history and your age, a Colonoscopy isn’t a bad idea to get peace of mind about cancer and plyups… but I agree, it’s funny to test for Celiac when you’re not even eating gluten anymore.

Hey make sure when they do the endoscopy they look for gastritis and ulcers of any kind. If they find some you can take something like DGL (NOT PPI’s please).

He also wants to do a biopsy to test for Celiac. So if I test positive for Celiac what will he recommend? That I stop eating gluten? I do not eat gluten right now. That seems like a wasted test to me.
