My Elisa Food Test For Igg Antibodies Is Back

Most everything showed no reaction, but let's look at what showed a reaction.

Low Reaction - Whey (protein in dairy) and Almond

Moderate Reaction - Gliadin (Wheat) and Whole Wheat - Both were closer to High than Low reaction

High Reaction - Gluten (Wheat), and Rye

And what, quite curiously, is missing with regards to reaction. Barley and Oat. Given more info about celiac/gluten and oats not being a problem, I might just have to try an oat that is known for being gluten free (no cross contamination). I thought for sure my reaction to dairy would be higher though, perhaps it's only a lactose reaction or perhaps I'm just sensitive to the low reaction of whey.

It's pretty cool that it matches very well with the data from Enterolab. Being that I showed reaction to gluten, but no reaction to soy, egg, casein in both this test and in the stool test via Enterolab.

It also appears that I might have to give eggs another chance now and test soy again.

Here's info on what all I had tested:

Hey Mikey! He likes it!

Sorry, couldn't resist. :ph34r: But it makes me wonder what Life Cereal is made of...probably gluten.

Hi

I had my IgG test done in the UK - I've got 14 with high reaction (and said to avoid, but can't do all of them at once straight away!), and 13 with a low reaction that I should rotate! More than average apparantly.

Anyway, wheat and gluten/gliadin came up high with me, but barley and rye were in the 'no reaction' column - which was a bit odd. Wasn't til I called the test place (I had mine done at York Test) and had my free 30mins consultation, that the lady said that that is just how they print them, and that I should avoid Barely and Rye too (guess that brings me up to 16 high reactions!) - could your results just be a similar type of thing, being 'written wrongly'?

Hi Sara, I sure hope that they don't make mistakes in writting up lab results. Makes me wonder about the rest of the results and how accurate they are. I suppose I should contact the company to see what they say.

Thanks,

Mike

      Testing for celiac

      By Bebee · Posted

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By trents · Posted

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those two sentences seem to contradict one another.
