Adrenal saliva test results, what does it all mean?
by Berlioz1, Apr 02, 2006 12:00AM
Hello Again, I posted my thyroid results a while back,
my Adrenal Stress Index results are below, I'm not sure what to make of it all!
Test Result Interpretation —
MARCH 2006
8am 16 normal ref: 13-24
noon 7 normal 5-10
5pm 7 normal 3-8
midnight 3 normal 1-4
cortisol burden 33 (23-42
DHEA 5 normal (3-10)
Insulin fasting 3 normal (3-12)
Insulin post-prandial 3 depressed (optimal 5-20)
17-OH Progesterone <15 low optilam (22-100)(** day 16 of cycle)
Total Salivary SIgA 7 depressed. Normal 25-60, bordeline 20-25
Gliadin AB SIga 3 negative (borderline 13-15)
(may have genetic Siga problem as false negative results on celiac testing in my daughter)
Adrenal Stress Index & DHEA. Despite appearing within the reference zone there are indications that you are approaching a ZONE 4 — Maladapted Phase II. This can be seen with a morning cortisol reading below midway, 17-OH progesterone is low and DHEA levels are below optimum levels
Post-Prandial (After meal reading) varies with the type of meal consumed prior to sample collection. Your result indicated that insulin was depressed Result 3
Advice: exercise, Vet E, Botanical adoptogen supps, optimise cortisol/DHEA balance, balance sympathetic/parasympathetic activity, rule out inherited Iga deficit.
Please advise what I need to further investigate, and treatment indicated.
many thanks

Also, I HIGHLY recommend the book 'Adrenal Fatigue, the 21st Century Stress Syndrome', by Dr. James Wilson. A tremendously helpful book, full of great info.
Good luck,
