Apparently, blood analysis and floating feces to determine an inability to digest wheat protein gluten are not indicative enough of the malady.
What does in mean when your gluten intolerant? Does it mean having a rash? There is the gene in my family and once those recessive genes get recombined as they are in my immediate family there is concern. I did get tested for the enzyme in the blood that is supposed to digest the protein but am now told that the enzyme can only be found in the stool and not in the blood. So here is what I have to say about a $380.00 test, even though I feel fine.
I have low tolerance for inaccurate information or information passed on to me to inform me to one test and then to oblige me to do another but if health is an issue that intolerance must be overwrought and a medical examination taken. Medicine is not an exact science, I remind myself anyway.
If I could raise the money for the stool test I would, but my concerns are in paying up old debts and looking after older more manageable afflictions that are real and that I can deal with. Running to the doctor for a proof on a possible genetic link for any malady is not my style, stubborn though I may be. Proceeding on this test would depend on someone else's generosity on sending a kit over to me and have me ship a sample off to the US. If the family is as concerned in announcing how I might also be afflicted, perhaps then someone may actually put the money together to facilitate the test. All I would have to do is fill up a bag with my feces and send it over the border. There is a lot of shit going over the border these days and now for the real thing.
Concerned people should look into digestive complaints such as having irritable bowel syndrome which some say may be indicative of being intolerant to certain foods such as wheat gluten. Those afflicted have to change theirs diets so as to eat other grains that do not have the gluten, like rice or spelt.
