Ige

[LookingforAnswers15]

Hey,

I hope you can help me figure this out. I was tested a few months ago and while my antibodies are still high, I also noticed that my IgE was 195, normal range up to 100. I asked the doctor to retest me last week and they came back even higher. It is obvious that I am allergic to something but I have no clue what that could be. He said I will do an allergy test but did not specify what I will be tested for. I want to be prepared to ask to test for something specific.

 

I usually eat very well. Meats, lentils (marked gluten-free), soups, rice, corn pasta (sometimes), fruits, and veggies. I think it is a well-balanced diet. I might eat too much fruit and veggies when I am busy to cook so that might not be good but it does not happen often. Lately, since I have been worried about some symptoms, I realized that I could not eat much at all and I might have even experienced acid reflux. I never had something like that before. I felt that I needed to only eat rice, pasta, and potatoes. I lost some weight as well. However, I began eating more again.

 

Since it is a summer time and I am visiting my family, I try to eat food that is convenient and easy to make especially since kitchen is not gluten free but I do have my own dishes and towels. I really usually avoid dairy and do not eat eggs often but I have been regularly eating boiled eggs at home and ate some gluten free cheese (soft cheese-similar to feta). I stopped eating cheese again and I do not drink milk at all. So, I am wondering if it could be eggs, soy, nightshades.

 

I eat bananas, meat sometimes, potatoes, peppers and eggplants once in awhile, corn pasta. I rarely buy gluten free snacks but I know they have soy lecithin. 

 

Can you please let me know if you have any ideas what I should consider getting tested for? Are there any common food allergies for celiacs?

 

Thanks a lot!
