Food sensitivity blood test after avoiding allergens for 12 months


Blaze422

Recommended Posts

Blaze422 Rookie

I was tested by an environmental allergist 12 months ago using injections on back (bubble tests) and was highly reactive to gluten,corn, dairy, sugar cane, cassein ,and somewhat to tomatoes and avocado.

I recently had bloodwork at a wellness center which included IgG blood work for food sensitivities. They were aware that I had been

avoiding those foods for the past year....and were very pleased at the findings appointment to tell me that I was no longer sensitive to those items and this was great news. 

Wrong! I call the source of this test (called  FIT TEST)...KBMO DIAGNOSTICS ...and they said I needed to be eating all  those foods for at least 2 weeks prior to testing.

    My question for y'all is if anyone knows a blood test that doesn't require me to play Russian roulette and probably feel like crap for 2 weeks to see if I can tolerate what I could tolerate a year ago.

If you are referring to non IGE-mediated food sensitivities, there are currently no tests available which can guarantee correct results. The validity of IGG tests as a measure of tolerance is questionable at best. Unfortunately, the only way to know for certain how you respond to those foods, is by eating them.

A food log is the only way to nail down sensitivities.  As mentioned there are currently no tests that can measure for them.  IgG mediated testing is a way to part people from their money and nothing more unfortunately as you have seen these aren't of use.

I tend to agree with the two previous posters.

The environmental allergist said you are sensitive to gluten. Have you been tested for celiac?  Now, according to the second blood test, you are no longer sensitive to any of those foods? 

Something is very wrong here.

If you've eliminated those foods, why not try them one at a time on different weeks to see how you feel? I'm sure you'll know fairly soon by how you feel. 

I am lactose intolerant, but I can eat hard cheeses and some Greek Yogurts. I can't tolerate any other dairy unless it's lactose free.

I am sensitive to soy, but I can tolerate small amounts depending where on the ingredient list they are. If soy is first, it's a deal breaker; if it's in the middle of the ingredients or further down the list, then I seem to not react. 

However, I would have never found out my tolerance levels for both dairy and soy unless I did a little experimentation.

Just want to make sure you were never diagnosed with Celiac?  Because, these tests have nothing to do with if a Celiac can eat gluten.  A Celiac cannot eat gluten and does not grow out of it.

      Lactose intolerance is not necessarily to problem in the celiac community. Intolerance to the dairy protein casein can be the culprit as it is similar enough to gluten to cause cross reactivity in a fairly significant element of the celiac population. Oats and dairy are common cross reactors in the celiac community. Eggs, corn and soy are also common cross reactors but oats and dairy are the two big ones.

      Thought I'd leave you the references: Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ "The early symptoms of TD are non-specific and may be easily attributed to any number of disease processes. Unrelenting or uncharacteristic fatigue, changes in mood with a tendency towards hyper-irritability and mood lability are common [4]. A sense of mental fuzziness and subtle decrements in memory are often reported, along with loss of appetite, sleep disturbances and/or gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort and dysmotility. Food intolerances and vomiting may develop as the deficiency progresses. Experimental [5] and case literature [6] suggest GI discomfort and dysmotility may be more prevalent early indications of TD than currently appreciated. A form of GI beriberi has been identified but is under-recognized [7]." and... Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

      Thank you for these thoughts, Knitty. Trents: Yes. I would say we are taking it relatively light on his belly because it's been upset, so no heavy/excessive dairy, but he has had some cheese here and there. Not high quantities, however, and tests were negative for lactose intolerance.

      Being low in Thiamine B1 can cause fingers and toes to be cold all the time.  Thiamine deficiency affects body temperature regulation and sleep/wake cycles.   Thiamine deficiency-induced disruptions in the diurnal rhythm and regulation of body temperature in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9804367/
