York Lab-elisa Foodscan

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has used the ELISA FoodScan for other food intolerances? My child is now gluten-free but it seems that there are other things that she is either allergic or intolerant to. We've taken her to an immunologist and they did skin/prick tests for inhalents and foods. She only tested postive to inhalant allergies and her pediatric Dr. has just done a RAST test for the 8 most common food allergies. We're waiting to hear about the results of the blood work. She has severe psoriasis and eczema also. The anti-histamines only seem to help a small amount. I was thinking about ordering the FoodScan but I don't know anyone who has had it done.

Thanks so much for the information! :)

I had it done. I was surprised by a few of the foods listed. I cut the ones I could relate to symptoms and will attempt to readd to my diet later. Then I will cut the rest. It's possible to heal from some of these food intolerances. Dairy, egg and yeast problems may not be temporary. I've read the skin prick tests often give false negatives. When I cut dairy, my eczema halt and actually began to heal after 3 months. I'm still not all the way healed, but I have a monster patch of it.

Thanks, this is great. I think I may try to go ahead and order the test. As I'm sure you're aware, the testing and Dr. visits start getting a little pricey, but good health is worth it. I'm just afraid that there are food intolerances that we don't know about. Her pediatric Dr. mentioned also that the prick tests have a high false neg. rate. I have a feeling she's sensitive to a food that she eats quite often.

Thanks again for your input!

I also had the York tests and was very satisfied with them. I tested positive for Yeast, dairy and white fish. I already knew about the dairy, but was surprised about the yeast and fish.

I hope that your daughter gets better. :rolleyes:

I have taken the test (actually twice as they lost my first sample) and am awaiting the results (They are very, very SLOW!).

I was wondering the same thing......If something else that I am eating is keeping me from feeling better and possibly slowing down the healing process. I hope to find out soon.

Best of luck!

Hi,

I was wondering how long it took for you to get the results from York?

We're just getting a little anxious about the results. :)

Thanks!

I did the york testing and it took a couple of weeks.

It confirmed my problem foods to me soit was helpful in that respect. I now avoid most of the strong positives on the list.

Thanks,

I'm glad you got good results! We've been waiting several weeks. This Thur. it will be 4 weeks since I sent the test off. I may try to give them a call and see if they know the status.

Thanks again. :)

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
