Sugar Allergy?

I've had joint pain, fatigue, and other symptoms continuing even though I stopped gluten and casein over a year ago and soy almost a year ago ...are these symptoms of a sugar allergy? Are there any other symptoms I should be looking out for?

Well, I have a problem with nightshade vegetables, ie, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant and paprika. they cause joint pain, swelling and fatigue for me. Now I also have a sugar sensitivity and that causes major fatigue, major drowsiness, where I have to take a nap for a couple of hours but no joint pain. All I can say is eleminate the nightshades and sugar then slowly reintroduce them, keep a journal of what you eat and your reactions. See if that helps any. Good luck

Thank you! I'll certainly try that!

How did you learn about your intolerance to nightshade vegetables? Was it a skin test? I had skin test done too and I had sensitivity to brocoli and food like that and many other things but I dismissed it as soon as I left the allergist office. I have heard that skin test are not very reliable. However since then, I noticed some sensitivity to broccoli and maybe some other food. I have to do an elimination diet to know for sure.

You could have candida. I suspect that for myself. You have to adopt a diet that will starve candida in your gut and stay away from sweet food even fruits for a while. Easily said than done. I have been trying for a long time and I always come back and have some sweet. I have just heard of the coconut diet and coconut oil being excellent for candida. But good luck, for me it gives me nausea and I can't stand the smell.

Nadia, I did the elimination diet.

      Interpreting results.

      Were you eating lots of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood test? If not, this can cause lower antibody levels, and possibly false negative results. It's unfortunate that they didn't do a Total IgA count, because if you have naturally low IgA it could lead to false negative test results. The good news is that you could get that test done...

      Interpreting results.

      Hi! thanks for the quick feedback! I tested negative for DQ8, but did test positive for DQ2 and DQ7. I’m not sure if there’s any information regarding DQ7 and the risk for celiac. I have included the reference ranges for the other labs below. It does not appear that my total IGA was tested. Thanks again. CELIAC DISEASE PANEL GLIADIN AB,...

      Welcome to the forum, @np1209! Your understanding of the gene testing results is correct. DQ2 and DQ8 are the primary genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease. My understanding is also that DQ2 alone represents stronger potential than DQ8 alone. But we need more information with regard to your antibody test results. You need...

It's unfortunate that they didn't do a Total IgA count, because if you have naturally low IgA it could lead to false negative test results. The good news is that you could get that test done later and not have to be on a gluten challenge to get those results.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

My understanding is also that DQ2 alone represents stronger potential than DQ8 alone. But we need more information with regard to your antibody test results. You need to include not only the raw test scores but the reference ranges. There are no industry standards for reference ranges yet as each lab develops the tests a little differently. Another question I have is are the results you posted above reflective of all antibody tests that were ordered? I don't see a listing for "total IGA" which should always be included so as to check for IGA deficiency. IGA deficiency can result in false negatives on individual IGA antibody tests. You won't be able to edit your first post so please repost the info with additions.
