I had DD results come back the other day saying that she's not allergic to dairy. It says that Class 1 she's allergic to egg whites and beef. Class 2 she is allergic to diff. fruits and veggies. I still say that dairy is an issue. I don't agree w/the test. Also she's not lactose intolerant. She has been off of dairy for over a month now even b4 taking the test.

Do you know if that'll give a false result in the test if she hasn't had that particular food/dairy??????

Thanks.

BTW, she bloats and is gassy everytime she drinks or eats dairy. You can't tell me that dairy isn't an issue. Do these tests really work? Oh yeah, wheat didn't even show up. What's up with that?

Wheat didn't show up because celiac isn't an allergy. It's an autoimmune intolerance and stirs up different types of antibodies from allergies.

She may be lactose intolerant because her villi are still damaged from the celiac, and lactase (the enzyme that digests lactose) is produced on the tips of the villi. That would cause the gas and bloating after having dairy.

I know for gluten, the allergy test is different than the intolerance test. I would imagine it's the same with dairy. I was tested for casein intolerance by Enterolab. I get similar symptoms when I consume casein as I do when I consume gluten.

Well, I'm keeping her off of dairy. I will diagnose her myself. Thanks.

Bloating and gas is what lactose intolerance does to me, which won't show in an allergy test. For me, casein intolerance give me different symptoms, which have only come on recently.

My daughter is *allergic* to wheat and dairy. And, she's gluten intolerant.

Lactose intolerance is not the same as a dairy allergy. And, an intolerance won't show up on an allergy test.

DD had a lactose test and is not intolerant to it. She's clear of being allergic to lactose, dairy and caesin. She had the breath test for lactose 3 wks. ago and the blood test for dairy!

I am quite lactose intolerant, sometimes even reacting to Lactaid milk or dairy products taken along with Lactaid pills. I'm doing Enterolab testing and am now gluten-free so I should find out soon if the lactose intolerance is actually a casein intolerance, or if it's just a side effect of celiac disease.

However, I've been lactose intolerant since childhood and I NEVER come up as allergic to ANYTHING (including wheat and dairy, which make me so sick... and cat dander, which gives me horrible asthma attacks!) on standard blood and skin tests done at an allergists' office.

If there's one thign I'm learning from these boards, it's that our bodies are more complicated than I ever new, and that many, if not most, doctors don't know their feet from their head when it comes to food allergies!

      The paleo diet is based on the idea that the human body evolved to consume a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and that the modern diet is out of balance. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1–4:1, while the modern diet is closer to 20:1–40:1. The paleo diet aims to restore this balance.

      Hey all!

      Best thing you can do for them! First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease. Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet. Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental...

      You are very welcome.😊 Do keep posting if we can help any further, and also if you aren't a member already I would recommend joining Coeliac UK if only for one year - they produce a very good gluten-free food and drink guide, a printed copy and also an app you can use on a smartphone which I am told is very helpful when one shops. I think the one th...

Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet.   Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental problems in children, including implications on reproductive functions and lowering of IQ levels in school-aged children. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population.

I think the one thing I would say is be extra vigilant when eating out.  Never feel afraid to question the service staff.  I think most of my glutenings have happened away from the home.
