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.

      I am taking my celiac a lot more seriously now and want to avoid chances of cross contact, does anyone have any good ground turkey brands or chicken brands they can recommend ?

      Moms Across America for one. Here's the article that kicked off long thread and more than one thread on Celiac.com this past summer:  Our community feels the testing needs to be tightened up. As of now, GFCO allows food companies to do self-testing and self-reporting. Testing is also done We strongly believe testing needs to be done more frequently and there needs to be drop in, unannounced testing by the FDA and certification groups.

      What celiac watchdog groups have looked into what you mentioned? Thanks.

      Welcome to the forum, @CiCi1021! Well, to begin with, most of us have found it isn't necessary to buy a lot of specifically labeled "gluten free" or "Certified Gluten Free" prepackaged food items as long as you are willing and able to cook from scratch. This is especially true since testing by celiac watchdog groups has cast some serious doubt on how consistently food companies are actually meeting gluten free and certified gluten free standards. It's probably just as effective and certainly less expensive to buy naturally gluten free mainline food products such as fresh meat, vegetables and fruit and prepare your own meals. The only major exception to that in my experience is loaf bread. It's very difficult to make your own gluten free bread products and have them come out decent with regard to texture. The major food companies have invested a lot into that component and have come up with some pretty good stuff that's hard to duplicate for yourself.

      Struggling with costs of all the special food.  Are there any organizations out there that will assist with costs?
