Bioresonance Testing?


Hev75

Hi - I've been tested for Coeliac Disease twice now and both blood tests have shown negative results. I've been having classic symptoms now for about two years and others which go back further. Instead I was diagnosed with IBS. Frustrating! I took dairy and gluten out of my diet earlier this year and kept a food diary and then added back in for the gluten challenge. Whilst removed, after the initial withdrawal a lot of symptoms improved - no headaches and joint pain reduced. Bowel movements were returning to something like normal. Since putting them back in it's all come back again. I wasn't sure if it was dairy or gluten as I'd taken them both out. I've long suspected I have an issue with dairy, so I've taken that out again and whilst I'm not getting such bad side effects from that anymore, I still feel that gluten might be giving me issues as I've got a lot of things which keep manifesting - really bad headaches, beaus lines on nails, itchy skin, loose stools with urgency to go, tired all the time - the list goes on. 

I'd been told by a friend about bioresonance testing. Very sceptical but went with an open mind and wasn't sure what to expect. A bit like when you go to the fair and see a fortune teller and they've very good at picking bits out of your backstory. I'd already told her I'd been tested for Coeliac and I'd got issues with dairy, so was no surprise when the little thing stopped spinning when she put the wheat and dairy capsules in the slot (not sure what the technical term is for it all). However... there were lots of other things that she noted my body struggles with a lot of those rang very true as well. Grapes, for example - I struggle with wine these days.

I just wondered if anyone else had had this type of bioresonance testing and whether it really is advisory to take guidance from it. I'm aware that the only way to really test again for gluten intolerance is to remove it and see what happens. The doctors won't take it further, as two blood tests have been negative, but we have Coeliac disease in our family and history of things like bowel and stomach cancers, so I want to avoid this at all costs and having indicators of a problem means I want to do something about it while I can. Can NCGS cause bowel cancer in the same way that Coeliac Disease can, if gluten is continued to be consumed?

Any advice would be appreciated. 

Thanks.

I am also skeptical of this "bioresonance" testing. To me it sounds like classic pseudo science, and I doubt there have been any scientific studies done on it to show that it is effective:

Quote

Bioresonance testing uses electrodes to measure the electrical resistance of acupuncture points, measuring energy levels and indicating the presence of disease, according to its supporters. The medical community generally does not accept the accuracy of this and other energetic medicine devices.

However, non-celiac gluten sensitivity is a real thing that has been studied, and fairly recently described as a separate condition from celiac disease. So far I've not seen studies on the long term health consequences for those with NCGS who continue to eat gluten, but to me it sounds like you already don't want to do that.

I have a hunch based on all of the studies I've looked at that there will be certain health consequences for those with NCGS who continue to eat gluten, and I do believe that for some it may be a transitional state which could later lead to celiac disease.

      Hi guys. Apologies for the late reply. Many many thanks for the replies. Hi - I am eating both white rice and wholegrain brown rice, due to it being very difficult to just eat brown rice. In regards to histamine foods - I am taking 10mg loratadine to combat this issue, however haven't seen any positive results as of yet. I have noticed if I am on a strict gluten free diet for around 1 week, the insomnia instantly pops up, and I have to eat around half a slice of bread for it to stop. I am trying to lower this amount, however the insomnia is still present. I have searched these forums and the internet but there seem to be no solution to this issue. I thought if I gradually reduce from half a slice and a little less, the issue will be resolved. However this is not the case.

      Would you also agree that being so close to the IgA deficient cut off is significant? We just have been told he’s not as just over into the not deficient category…   thank you so much for all the help so far, it’s been so helpful!
    • Scott Adams
      One study showed that up to 44% of first degree relatives also have celiac disease, so his odds of having it are quite high. Also, if he were not IgA deficient his celiac disease test scores would likely have been much higher because they were based on the IgA antibodies.

      Statistically, the incidence of IBS and other bowel disorders is higher in the celiac population than it is in the general population. Still, I would take one thing at a time. There is significant reason to believe your son does have celiac disease and there is no nasty prep needed for that endoscopic procedure. Assuming that he does have either celiac disease or NCGS, it is likely that a gluten-free diet corrects his symptoms and there would be no need to pursue a lower GI and it's nasty prep.  I would also add that the immune system of a child his age is not mature. It's in flux. Because of this, celiac disease testing can yield erratic results. And I would also add that some experts believe that NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. If this is true, there would seem to be transition phases. I hope you will keep us posted.

      Thank you, I do feel the likelihood is high which is why I am reluctant to do a colonoscopy as I feel we will find the answer. Whatever the endoscopy says though and even if it were to be negative he will be going gluten free as the positive EMA has to mean something with symptoms and one parent coeliac.  But there is a niggling doubt as I try and make the right choice… I just want him to get better and be happy again!
