    I've now spoken with my doctor and requested the total IgA blood test. They only have 5mins per patient these days so she was very rushed and said that if I didn't have any IgA I wouldn't have any saliva or other body secretions. She thought the blood test was unnecessary and if she ordered it the lab would reject it. Apparently rheumatoid and autoimmune...

    Yes, I agree. And I have found other intolerances too. I'm trying to find the root causes of my problems and symptoms, however, because there are so many things that I can't digest and I have to find a way of strengthening my system. Even while eating a good gluten-free, grain-free etc. diet I still want to fix any underlying imbalances too and strengthen...

    I will, also worth mentioning that one registered nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner offered this advise, which I find very interesting, regarding celiac/ NCGS: "...if you want a thorough comprehensive gluten / Coeliac test, the go-to test is Cyrex Array 3X. We find positives to gluten/wheat in many patients whose standard coeliac test...

    Thank you for the information. I've requested this test now, fingers crossed they will do it. As far as I can tell it hasn't been tested for yet. I've just now also had my stool and SIBO tests back from Genova Labs. The results are as follows: - The test was positive for SIBO. (Wondering what has caused this and what is it that is overgrowing.....

    Thank you for this insight, I've requested this test from my doctor and waiting to hear what he says.

    Yes, I've even heard three months being recommended. For the sake of my wellbeing and mental health I can't eat gluten for that long - four weeks was the most I could do - I intended to do six but I couldn't do it. Not only does it cause weight gain, bloatedness and other problems, it also causes cravings and low moods. I was hoping I might get some help...

    An update: I've now had my celiac blood test results back and they were negative. I took the test after four weeks of eating plenty of gluten/ wheat. Previous IgG anti-body test indicated that I have an intolerance to gluten (gliadin), however. Some symptoms I had previously went away while eating gluten (although other changes happened at the same...

    Hi Jackie, I drink alcohol on and off. It saps my energy so definitely feel better when not drinking it. I have so many different food triggers for various symptoms... If you have NCGS does it mean that you may be able to tolerate a little bit of gluten or do all/ most people still need to avoid even trace amounts?

    Thank you for sharing this, very interesting. After trying lots of different diets over the many years, I've come to the same conclusion that Dr Furhman's diet is generally the best. I've never tried a full celiac diet and most of the time ate at least trace amounts of gluten, however. And it's a good point about trusting the health diaries, I agree...

    Sounds like you may have to try a very strict clean diet to make sure the brain fog goes away and then add a few foods at a time to see what brings it back... My brain only ever felt normal on a raw food diet and a raw juice fast; but it also felt better (not as good) on a strict diet of fresh fruit, fish, raw vegetables, some nuts and seeds, eggs and tofu...

    You should see the years worth of health diaries I've written to try to figure my symptoms out!

    Hi all, I've been on a gluten-free diet for many years (occasionally gave up and ate anything I wanted) but even while gluten-free never followed it strictly, so included small quantities of gluten/ possibly-gluten-contaminated foods. I did some very strict diets which were likely completely gluten free, and I did feel better, e.g. some of my stricter...
