I know replacement Gamma can effect blood antibody tests - but stool tests? I have orders for: C Diff - A and B toxins - EIA EIA = Elisa = antibodies Something tells me donated antibodies could show up in stool. But C. Diff. toxin antibodies? The doctor who ordered the test did not give me time to ask about this. CVID and Gamunex were listed in my chart. Thanks. Sorry - weird question. Edited to add: Just read where C.Diff. toxin antibodies have been documented to be in IVIG. Would they show up in my stool?
