Lame Advertisement Tests?

Has anyone ordered the Lame Advertisement tests? I'm firmly gluten-free, and I'm finally mostly convinced that soy is a problem, but I think I could feel much better if I got all the problem foods out of my diet. I want to know if anyone has ordered from them and what they thought?

Thanks for any info. :)

ETA: Wow... I guess this board has had problems with them, cause it looks like the name has been Java'd. Maybe they aren't a good company to go with... :(

Shalia,

I can't help as far as Lame Advertisement. I had a blood draw from a doctor who had branched out into allergy/intolerances. He runs the ELISA test and uses US Biotek.

There have been past advertisements for Lame Advertisement, so it triggers something here. I haven't heard anything bad about them though.

I noticed that too whenever I tried to type Lame Advertisement without the spaces, something else came up! Kind of freaked me out!

Anyway, my naturopath, who's really a pretty saavy guy, likes the test. I guess it's big in Europe, but not so much here. It's pricey - $600-$900. My daughter's insurance company said they will pay for it if an MD orders it. But she's having a terrible time finding an MD who has ever even HEARD of it. :blink:

From what I understand, it works on the same basic idea as the ELISA test, only much larger with many more foods and environmental things like molds, dander, etc. But I don't know if it's worth it or not.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. As I stated on another thread, I think enterolab would probably be the most reliable for dairy, soy, eggs and anything else they include. You already know you are gluten intolerant. But I don't know any other way to test for delayed type allergy reactions to all the other foods other than an ELISA or Lame Advertisement.

Thanks, both of you. :) I'm wanting to do *something* and it seems like Optimal Research isn't as good as they used to be, so I'm thinking Lame Advertisement might be an alternate.

Maybe I'll guinea pig for them. :)

Hey, I got an Lame Advertisement test in sept of 2005 because I was having REALLY bad GERD and no doc could tell me why, just put me on three different meds. The Lame Advertisement test was the first thing that showed me gluten, and I then found this board, then EnteroLab, then my doc's celiac panel, and the rest is history. I have see someone spam this board with their ads, which is a real shame, because I really believe in this company an in their tests.

My test was 400.00 (the most foods you can get), and showed several other foods besides gluten. When I tried to eat those foods again (after eliminating them for a month like they suggested) I would notice the side effects. Like gluten (my intestines shut down and I passed out and ended up in the ER....which led me to Celiac Disease), and sweet potato (they give me terrible headaches). Anyway, my point is that I give them a lot of credit, and really believe in this test.

Hey, thanks! :) That's just what I needed to hear. :) As soon as I have the money, I'm going to give them a try.

      Test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If all testing is now completed you may want to let your doctor know that you are starting a gluten-free diet. If you symptoms go away on the diet it is further confirmation that you may have celiac disease, and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      As long as the B Comlex is gluten-free, it should be helpful to you, especially since you're recently diagnosed and your villi are in the recovery process. You may need to look at further supplements as well, and it's a good idea for your doctor to check levels for many nutrients to see what deficiencies you might have. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Weak stomach digestion after undiagnosed celiacs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      How long ago were you diagnosed? There are many symptoms and issues for those who are newly diagnosed, and recovery can take a while. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

      As I mentioned before I’m pretty new to this. I’m about a month into being completely gluten-free. But I’m still having issues with fatigue, loss of appetite, and gas pain. I’ve started taking the B complex, and was hopeful, but that would help me get past especially the fatigue and the loss of appetite. But now I just read a more recent post where somebody is saying that the B complex is not necessarily good for us?  I was very comfortable with the B complex because our bodies shed excess B vitamins. But now I just looked it up and B vitamins can cause gas and bloating.  As I mentioned, that’s one of my biggest symptoms, and I also think it’s directly connected to my loss of appetite, which, of course is connected to my fatigue.  I’m so confused I don’t really know what to do now?

      Thank you. Yeah I avoid lots of foods just wondering if my situation is common. GI doctor I’m seeing now doesn’t think my present situation is related to the celiacs whereas I do.
