Food Allergy Test Results

wheat did nothing.

BUT, I had a big reaction to soy, corn, and peanuts.... those three things are in pretty much everything.

Maybe that's it?

Well that's useful news! Food allergies are nothing to mess around with.

However... keep in mind that food allergies and food intolerances are two different things. Food allergies are IgE reactions that cause your body to produce histamines (which lead to rashes, breathing difficulties, etc...). These reactions happen within a few minutes or hours.

Food intolerances are IgA or IgG reactions that lead to the production of antibodies. Reactions vary (some are just as dangerous as food allergies), but are usually delayed by a few hours or even a few days. An elimination diet is the best way to tell if you have one.

I had a skin test for food allergies and nothing turned up, but I'm definitely intolerant to gluten and corn! Celiac disease does not show up as an allergy, however... some people have celiac as well as a true (IgE) allergy to wheat. :blink:

Yeah... I figured that.

But... what's interesting, is I just had a delayed reaction to wheat......

It turns out that I just thought they did a Celiac test... they didn't, but did a basic blood test

checking blood counts, thyroid, and all that stuff.... again. It's so super great how they do the same thing every time.

That is not all that uncommon. Some reactions can take up to a day or two.

      @TerryinCO, Pantoprazole  is an acid suppressor, but Gerd is often caused by too little stomach acid, (hypochlorhydria), not too much.  PPIs like yours suppress stomach acid production further, causing nutritional deficiencies.  PPIs cause additional damage to the intestinal lining and can inhibit antibody production in the intestines resulting in low tTg test results.   To correct hypochlorhydria, Niacin and Thiamine are needed.  Of course, all eight B vitamins are needed because they work in concert together, so a B Complex supplement is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about getting off the PPI and supplementing with Niacin and the B vitamins.  Niacin, the form that flushes, and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing, would be beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble.  If not needed, they are excreted easily in urine.   Doctors are only required to take twenty hours of nutrition education out of seven years at medical schools funded by pharmaceutical companies.  So talk to a nutritionist, too.

      Biopsy results - second opinion?

      By ellyelly · Posted

      Wow - this is all so helpful KnittyKitty. I have just checked and they have done a total iga test thankfully! Will definitely share the results. How interesting about the impact of iron on antibodies. I had an iron infusion about 1.5 months prior to the endoscopy, but haven’t started supplementing again (awaiting updated tests). I had planned to see a naturopath once I had a clearer picture of whether celiac was a possibility, so will definitely check in about what other supplements might be helpful going forward. Thanks so much for flagging that with me - I had no idea!

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By RonMc · Posted

      I use Dapsone for my dermatitis herpetiformis. Was not an issue in the beginning of diagnosis. Once I did the covid vaccine it changed and now I cannot stop using the medicine for more than 24 hours or it flares up with a vengeance. Then it takes just over two weeks for the med to get it back under control. My dermatologist was able to identify and treat it, fortunately for me I was her third patient with dermatitis herpetiformis to have a reaction post vaccine. Trial and error with other antibiotics and a ton of steroids prior to this med. Not cheap and can be problematic for liver and pancreas.

      Thanks, Knitty Kitty. No, I'm just taking B12...also a vitamin D3.  For gerd - Pantoprozole. Trents, thanks for the links. There's a lot to digest there (pun intended), I'll have to read those a few times to grasp.

      Biopsy results - second opinion?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Because of your anemia, you may not be making sufficient antibodies.  I hope they did a total IgA as well as the tTg IgA, and DGP IgG.  I hope you will share the results with us.  If your body isn't making a large amount of antibodies, then the intestinal damage would be less as well.  The antibodies attacking our own cells is what causes the damage. Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on antibody tests.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies besides the ferritin?  Several vitamins and minerals are needed to correct iron deficiency.  Have you been taking any vitamin supplements? Positive on the genes, I see.  Increases the likelihood...  Good job on ramping up on gluten for the test!
