I wish I'd read this forum before spending $150 out of pocket for a Food Allergy blood panel (QuesTest). The results were negative for wheat, the scratch test I took 3 years ago was negative for wheat. I'm one of 38 million working Americans without health insurance so I can't afford more doctors visits right now.

Well, I guess that's just a comment I wanted to make, no question. I know I'm not imagining my reaction to wheat/gluten, I can't afford to play doctor-merry-go-round. I'm certainly not willing to go off my gluten-free diet for a while in the hopes of developing measurable symptoms. So that's where I live now; gluten sensitive by life experience rather than lab measurements.

I never even knew there were any tests available for celiac or gluten sensitivity until after I gave the crap up. The change in my health and life in general was so dramatic that there was no question as to what the problem was.

      Thank you @knitty kitty.  I was reading some of your other posts and decided to add your preferred B-complex to my mix of vitamins.  I started taking this on 2/17 and plan to continue with them until my next blood draw in roughly 5 months. Life Extension BioActive Complete B-Complex I hope you have a great day ahead.

      9 y/o Son Diagnosed with Celiac Disease; Persistent Symptoms: Does this Sound Familiar?

      I can drink grass fed milk but commercial milk gives me heartburn from the cassein.  Brine fermented pickles can help establish lactobacillus in his gut.  They provide lactase to break down the lactose.  Vinegar pickled pickles do not.  inegar generally suppresses Lactobacillus by creating an acidic environment  that is inhospitable to the beneficial bacteria.  Organic pasture fed yogurt is good.  Some no fat brands of yogurt use various gums to replace the fat and these can cause a Celiac discomfort.   Vitamin D, Thiamine, Iodine, Choline are some of the vitamins that are deficient in the western diet. Because of malabsorption from the Marsh 3 damage Celiacs are more deficient. Try to choose vegetables low in omega 6. Yes there is hope.  It does take some time to heal the damage  My son was diagnosed when he was weaned as an infant.  He grew up to be a proffesional ocean lifeguard.

      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.
