Meridian Stress Assessment/food Allergies


LoriG

Recommended Posts

LoriG Contributor

Hi all-

This is the first time I am posting to this thread and saw some of you talking about this testing.

I have been gluten-free 4-1/2 months, CF 2-1/2 months. I still have symptoms of chronic fatigue, irritability, sometimes constipation, depression - these have always been my symptoms. I am also hypothyroid.

Some have told me that I'm not getting better that fast because that is the nature of this disease. I have been sick so long. Others have told me to look for a different cause. Mind you - I spent thousands to get to the enterolab results.

Now I don't know if I should explore other food allergies or not. The problem is I don't even know what happens if I consume gluten (haven't done it on purpose yet). A few times, I experienced severe nausea and I wondered. So an elimination diet won't help me. Also I read so many pro's/con's about food allergy testing that I don't want to invest that kind of money. I keep thinking maybe soy should be next, but as you all know how hard gluten and dairy are all by themselves.

I know of a place nearby that does Meridian Stress Assessment and have considered this to help rule stuff out. Any advice? Thank you!!!

Lori,

I've seen two different EAV or stress medidian testing practioners.

Some say it's only as good as the person doing it.

My tests were slightly different with the two, but this is to be expected cuz our bodies do change some and have different needs at different times.

I thought my EAV was pretty good.

I did not get tested for foods with mine.

I was tested for weak, balanced and stressed areas.

For instance.... my adrenals tested weak, pancreas, spleen, bladder, kidneys, skin tested stressed. My respritory was balanced.

The practicioner would test my supplements on the machine to see if they were accepted by my body and would test new supps to see if they would help.

I also was tested for dental isssues, bacteria etc.... compatibility of dental materials and such. This was consistant with my Clifford blood test for compatibility of dental materials, so I think it's pretty accurate.

      Hope you're feeling better.   I use a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine (Vitamins B 1, B12, and B6) for pain relief.  Together these vitamins together have pain killing effects (analgesic).  They are water soluble, so the body can easily excrete any excess.  They are safe to take.   Hope this helps.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/

      I did some research on what exactly is gluten . . . what defines it.  "The term gluten usually refers to the elastic network of a wheat grain's proteins, gliadin and glutenin primarily . . . " "The types of grains that contain gluten include all species of wheat (common wheat, durum, spelt, khorasan, emmer and einkorn), and barley, rye, and some cultivars of oat" (emphasis mine) "The storage proteins in other grains, such as maize (zeins) and rice (rice protein), are sometimes called gluten, but they do not cause harmful effects in people with celiac disease." (emphasis mine) From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten What I found most interesting is that some cultivars of oats contain...

      Your point about the limitations of current testing is valid, but the idea of "molecular mimicry" with rice and corn glutens is less clear. While corn contains zein, which can trigger reactions in some celiac patients, rice is generally considered safe and lacks proteins structurally similar to gluten. The term "molecular mimicry" is often overused and not well-supported in the context of all grains. While your experience with corn is noteworthy, extending this to all grains, including rice, may not be scientifically justified. Testing and research should indeed improve, but claims about all grains causing similar reactions need more evidence.

      I think Scott speaks truth. And I think there is more to this than the prospect of her having celiac disease. If it wasn't this issue, I'm betting it would be another.

      So one does need a specific inherited gene in order to develop celiac disease, so in some way I suppose anyone with celiac disease could take the negative approach of blaming their parents for getting it, however, it also takes some other environmental trigger, such as a specific virus or other factor, and this part is not necessarily caused by the parents. Around 40% of people have the genes to get celiac disease, but only around 1% actually get it.  In any case, we could all go through life complaining about all sorts of different wrongs supposedly caused by our parents, however, it's probably a lot more healthy for everyone to try to deal with life in a more positive way and instead...
