IgG Food Intolerance Test by York Nutritonal Labs. It test for 96 food intolerances.

I wasnt sure. The test is around 380 bucks though.. :angry:

Is there a cheaper way to find out if you have celiac or Gluten Intolerance.

Thanks

Mel

The food intolerance test will test to see if your body has a reaction to gluten but that can't determine celiac.

Celiac has a separate and specific blood panel that is done just for that.

Hi Kaiti

Do you know if the gluten sensitivy test on the enterolab.com would be enough it just test for the protein. i am really broke right now and this one is 99 dollars compared to 349.00 for the full panel

Stool test for immunologic sensitivity to a sub-protein (gliadin) contained in dietary wheat gluten...99.00

Thanks for your help

Hi Mel,

I saw your post to me on the other forum but was unable to respond cuz I'm on a different computer this week and for some reason its not letting me log onto CureZone. I apologize. :)

I had the IgG food sensitivity test done at Great Smokies...it was $350 and it came back negative for all foods. I had no IgG response to any of the foods...and there was over 100 foods tested. This test will not determine Celiac or Gluten Intolerance. If you happened to test positive for IgG antibodies with wheat, rye, barley or oats then you may want to test further for gluten intolerance or just try a gluten free diet.

Bloodtests by your doctor can diagnose Celiac. Its the Celiac Panel that Kaiti already mentioned. If you are already on a diet excluding or limiting gluten these tests are not reliable.

I used Enterolab but I got all of the tests done including the gene test. If you just get the one gluten sensitivity test for IgA antibodies it will tell you if your body responds negatively to gluten or not. Enterolab does not "officially" dx Celiac....usually Celiac is diagnosed with a positive biopsy. Positive IgA antibodies wont tell you if you're Celiac or if damage is occuring to your tissues. You would still not know for sure whether each time you ingest gluten it is causing damage to your intestines. If you don't know the whole picture you may not be as serious with the diet as someone who "knew" for sure that they have celiac disease or gluten intolerance which is damaging tissues/intestines. You could always take that one test and if the results are positive go on a strict gluten-free diet and see if symptoms improve. If there is improvement you could assume that gluten is harming you and stay strictly gluten-free.

Also....miscarriages can be a symptom of Celiac or Gluten Intolerance.

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.
