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

      Yes, @trents is right, ascorbic acid can be irritating.  Do you take it with food? Do you take other supplements or vitamins? Do you eat processed meats?   Is your diet high in carbohydrates?

      Be careful with C supplementation. It's ascorbic "acid". Too much can cause stomach and gut irritation.

      Thanks for the info, Its one I've not used before its got Noni Fruit, Astragalus Root in it as a prebiotic. As i never eat fruit it might be a cause.
