Hello to all, this is my first post & will try to make it as short as possible.

I tested negative for celiac. Although I am not sure if I was given all of the correct tests. I never received an anti-gliadin test. Anyway....

Has anyone had any testing done for a wide range of food sensitivities? Do such tests exist?

I have a long list of foods which (I think) I am sensitive to....

gluten, corn, eggs, soy, carrots, apples, garbonzo beans. I am just having a hard time pinpointing what foods are a problem for me, and I am sure there are others.

My brain has been fried for the past 6 months, and I can't think clear anymore.

Can anyone help?

There is another thread running about an elimination diet, and that is what I think you need. This is where you go all the way back to eating very plain foods, like chicken, meat, rice, sweet potatoes, veggies you know you don't react to, and any fruits you know are safe for you. Eat this diet for a good four weeks (I know, you will be sick of it, but no one promised it wouldn't be boring to start with.) Then you get to add back in another food every four days (to allow time for delayed reactions). As I said in the other thread, try to keep this new addition as pure as possible--like a baked potato, some steamed carrots, etc., and keep adding until you find a culprit to eliminate. Corn, eggs and soy are notorious culprits, and legumes like garbanzo beans also cause a lot of problems. Save them all to the end so that you will have successes before failures of challenges.

Good luck with your food adventure.

Some people have used www.enterolab.com to test for sensitivities to gluten, dairy, eggs, yeast and soy.

I am working through similar issues right now and I don't have a lot of answers. I am currently thinking peanuts and legumes might be a problem for me so I am doing some elimination trials of these foods.

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.
