Hi guys, this is a question specifically for those living in the UK who are under the NHS. If any of you have read my previous posts on iga deficiency you'll know i've been finding it difficult trying to get blood tests to check if i have a deficiency or not. I was just wondering if anyone in the UK, but also if anyone has had issues regarding this issue internationally your experiences are welcome too. I ask people within the UK, because I am being told by different doctors that IGA deficiency isn't available on NHS, but that it could be, and then i have also been told that depending on the results of my celiac panel they would test further for iga deficency.. But surely if you have a false negative celiac panel (which i have many times) then you should check for an iga deficiency or at least could be worth checking for that? But its so hard to get any doctor to listen properly. If its available on NHS, i'd like to try my hardest to get it done on the NHS as I am currently out of work because of how chronic my digestive issues are now. Maybe i've got my wires crossed on iga deficiency in which case if anyone has any links, or would like to correct me with some facts, that would be greatly appreciated. 

I ask because I have booked another appointment to see the fourth doctor within a month, and would like some idea on how to approach it and to know if i can request an iga deficiency blood test ( i believe its Igg blood test?) 

 

Any help appreciated, the sooner the better! 

 

thanks guys

      GliadinX is such a product and many/some report it really helps. In the interest of disclosure, the company that produces it is one of our sponsors.

      Occasionally eating out in restaurants means that there is potential cross contamination in spite of ordering a gluten free dish. What enzyme supplements can the forum recommend that would help with potential cross contamination? Something I could take before I start eating. I used to order Wheat Rescue from Microbiome lab, but it is not available anymore.

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.
