Interesting Allergy Test Results

Hi - I just wanted some comments - I have a 3 year old daughter who had a positive Enterolab test result for IgA anti-gliadin antibodies, a rash that she had on her arms, legs and cheeks that went away after going gluten free, a very positive result on the gluten free diet. She has sensory processing issues that have greatly improved since going gluten free. Her speech has improved incredibly since going gluten free. She has the gut issues - the smelly bulky stools when she gets glutened, multiple food allergies, short stature, etc. etc. - all very strong signs of celiac, but we never had the biopsy done. She's gluten sensitive at the very least, most likely celiac.

Anyway, since gluten sensitivity is genentic, I've always thought it ran in my side of the family vs. my DH's because of various symptoms of various family members. I have some signs of gluten sensitivity myself, but haven't had any tests. Until now. Although I didn't have an actual test for gluten sensitivity or celiac, I had an IgE food allergy blood test run last week and just got the test results back. I'm allergic to wheat and rye!

So, would you go for an actual celiac test then? Or maybe Enterolab? I haven't been totally gluten free lately. Haven't had much, but enough probably. Obviously, since I'm allergic to 2 foods containing gluten, I need to avoid them anyway - I have asthma that has been pretty bad lately, that coincides with my eating gluten. So I know it flares up my asthma. I've had to go on steriod inhalers for it and am having trouble breathing. So, does it really matter if I have celiac or just an allergy? Either way, I need to cut it out because I can't breathe! What would you do?

Also, on a side note - I'm just as allergic to GARLIC! UGH!!! Why - why - why??? I LOVE garlic! Oh well.

Beth

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      Using a pressure cooker will break down Lectins. Long cooking times as in using a crock pot will also reduce Lectin content. However, having tried both, going lectin free for a few weeks is like a vacation for my digestive system. I do hope you give the AIP diet a try. I understand that changing ones diet takes a lot of mental readjustment...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      Depending on which source you research sprouting or fermentation can reduce lectins. I sprout rice, buckwheat and quinoa. However, I admit that gas and intestinal inflammation still plague me after 5 1/2 mo gluten-free. I have been resisting but I may try the aip diet at some point.

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      Hi @jadeceoliacuk I am a UK based coeliac and I have used a private nutritionist a few times. She is very highly qualified and having just googled her details, she is listed on this website (see link). For that reason, I think you could trust the listings here as I am quite sure she would not want to associate with this website unless it was a...

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      thank you knitty kitty. I will give those articles a read. Yes he is deficient in Iron and Vit D, that is all they tested for. Do you have any tips for finding a pediatric nutritionalist? He has an NHS dietician who has been helpful sending me generalised info on increasing Iron and cutting out dairy but they won't see him now for another year and I...

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      Yes, Lisinopril gave me an inguinal hernia from the persistant cough. Amlodipine doubled urine output and dry eyes so I could not wear contacts, another had me walking bent over like a ninety year old and one knocked out control of my quadracepts so knees would give out. None lowered my blood pressure. Average BP 132/67 for Oct 21 - 26. Lowest was 10...
