At Home Food Intolerance Testing -- Your Opinion/experience

I'm interested in getting tested for food intolerances, i'm debating whether to go through Enterolab, or through another company that would test a more wider range of food intolerances, such as yorkallergyusa or any of it's equivalents that would test a broad range of foods, in addition to gluten, egg, yeast, soy and dairy.

I'm curious as to what companies are most reliable and trusted based upon results, and if they are worth it $ wise. And which one's you would recommend.

Thanks!

Whoa I *just* posted in another thread about this.

I used what was then York Labs and it helped me a great deal. (Is the url really still active? Or maybe it redirects)

They've changed their name to something like Optimal Health Resources(?).

It's in the other thread.

Good Luck w/ whichever way u decide to go. :)

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.
