my allergists office called and said everything they tested came back negative,[gluten-free 2 months] one of the foods was wheat..does that mean I do not have celiac even with borderline positive blood work [98 % gluten-free when I had blood test] my Primary care believes I am celiac, was even surprised by the high numbers after going gluten-free.

so...I'm negative on the RAST for wheat..what does that mean??

has anyone had negitive results with problem foods?

thanks. Betty

Celiac IS NOT an allergy and therefore will NOT show up on a RAST or any other allergy tests. You are not allergic to wheat, YOU HAVE CELIAC it's an entirely different thing, Celiac is an autoimmune disorder, NOT an allergy! OK?

thanks nini, wish my allergist told me that, he said that was why he would check for wheat.

one more thing [than you can hit me] if it is not an allergy than why do the restaurant cards we can order say on them "I have an allergy to wheat, oats, rye, barley

:lol: As far as I know Nini is pretty harmless...that was really funny though!

I think its better that they use the term "allergy" on the restaraunt cards because it makes it much easier for the staff to comprehend. They know about allergies and will understand that term more than they would understand that wheat causes an autoimmune response. Technically as Nini stated its not an allergy and has nothing to do with allergy....so yeah it wouldnt show up in a RAST test.

lol, I didn't mean to YELL!!! lol, I was just trying to put the emphasis on the parts that I felt were most important ya know?!!

Rachel is right, it's just easier to call it an allergy when you are trying to explain it to people who don't know anything about it... Most people do understand allergies.

Betty--I saw my allergist on Friday. I had a whole slew of skin prick and intradermal tests (ouch!). I will be going back in a month to have the rest of them done along with a patch test for environmental allergies. He did the foods and most common allergens first. The only things that came up positive were dust mites and cats. No foods at all. I was not really surprised. The reason I went was because of some skin issues that are not responding to the gluten-free diet. I found out that dust mites can cause eyelid problems (which is my biggest concern) and I have ordered casings for my matteress and pillows. I was lucky to find an allergist that has a Celiac aunt and he himself suffers from several food intolerances. He told me the best way to figure out my food intolerances (not allergies) is to use a rotation diet. He is willing to help me with that if I choose. I was also relieved to learn that my mouth symptoms from eating almonds is not serious (oral allergy syndrome) and that I am not allergic to nuts or peanuts. I had a positive experience with the allergist--but my visit was not to address the Celiac. As Nini said, Celiac is not an allergy. While it is possible to be allergic to wheat (it is a common allergen) you shouldn't confuse that with the autoimmune reaction that gluten causes in a Celiac. :)

      Safe and Forbidden lists

      By Julie Max · Posted

      As far as I know, miso paste is gluten-free and should be added to the Safe List.  And, shouldn't soy sauce be on the Forbidden list?

      @PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain.  I have three crushed vertebrae myself.  I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain.  This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds.  I hope you will give them a try. Here are articles on these vitamins and pain relief... Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ And...

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.

      Hi, trents, Thanks for responding! One book I read is called, Doing Harm, by Maya Dusenbery.  She has wonderful perspective and insight, and it's all research-based.  It's about how women can't get treated.  Everyone should read this!  I wouldn't mind reading it again, even.  She believes that women are so busy taking care of families, working, etc., that we are more likely to ignore our pain and symptoms for longer.  Men have women bugging them to go to the doctor.  Women don't have anyone telling us that.  We don't have time to go.  Providers think we are over-emotional, histrionic, depressed, have low tolerance to pain...Men get prescribed opioids for the same symptoms women are prescribed anti-depressants.  My car crash in January 2020 made going to the doctor a full-time job.  I grew up with 2 rough and tumble brothers, played outside, climbed trees.  I was tough and strong, pain didn't bother me, I knew it would heal.  But do you think I could get treated for back pain--as a woman?  I am so familiar now with the brush-offs, the blank looks, the, "Take your Ibuprofen," the insinuation that I am just over-reacting, trying to get attention, or even, "Drug Seeking."  Took almost 2 years, but what was happening was Degenerative Sacroiliitis.  I couldn't walk right, my gait was off, effected my entire spine because gait was off.  I had braced myself with my legs in a front-impact, slightly head-on crash with someone who made a left turn in front of me from the opposite direction.  I finally had SI Joint Fusion surgery, both sides.  It's not a cure. I have given up on trying to get properly treated.  There is so much pain with these spine issues caused by bad gait:  scoliosis, lithesis, arthropathy, bulged disc, Tarlov cysts.  And I can't take anything because of my bad tummy. Not that I would ever hurt anyone, but I can relate to Luis Mangione who couldn't get treated for his back injury. I feel so alone.
