i tested positive with the blood test back in june or july... i still haven't had the biopsy... no health insurance

i have been on a gluten free diet and am very careful about contamination but i still get sick... i am thinking i have other allergies but have to wait about 50 days for my health insurance to kick in to get a referal to see an allergist and then get allergy tests... can any of you say anything positive about the home finger prick tests? i keep seeing 96 food allergy tests.. which would be great because i have a blood and needle phobia and have major issues giving vials of blood... i think i may have issues with dairy, possibly soy, maybe peanuts? who knows what else... its so frustrating!! i have altered my diet and i still get terrible gas (sorry if thats too much info.. but i'm just so aggrivated) any suggestions?

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Thank you very much!

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
