my allergists office called and said everything they tested came back negative,[gluten-free 2 months] one of the foods was wheat..does that mean I do not have celiac even with borderline positive blood work [98 % gluten-free when I had blood test] my Primary care believes I am celiac, was even surprised by the high numbers after going gluten-free.

so...I'm negative on the RAST for wheat..what does that mean??

has anyone had negitive results with problem foods?

thanks. Betty

Celiac IS NOT an allergy and therefore will NOT show up on a RAST or any other allergy tests. You are not allergic to wheat, YOU HAVE CELIAC it's an entirely different thing, Celiac is an autoimmune disorder, NOT an allergy! OK?

thanks nini, wish my allergist told me that, he said that was why he would check for wheat.

one more thing [than you can hit me] if it is not an allergy than why do the restaurant cards we can order say on them "I have an allergy to wheat, oats, rye, barley

:lol: As far as I know Nini is pretty harmless...that was really funny though!

I think its better that they use the term "allergy" on the restaraunt cards because it makes it much easier for the staff to comprehend. They know about allergies and will understand that term more than they would understand that wheat causes an autoimmune response. Technically as Nini stated its not an allergy and has nothing to do with allergy....so yeah it wouldnt show up in a RAST test.

lol, I didn't mean to YELL!!! lol, I was just trying to put the emphasis on the parts that I felt were most important ya know?!!

Rachel is right, it's just easier to call it an allergy when you are trying to explain it to people who don't know anything about it... Most people do understand allergies.

Betty--I saw my allergist on Friday. I had a whole slew of skin prick and intradermal tests (ouch!). I will be going back in a month to have the rest of them done along with a patch test for environmental allergies. He did the foods and most common allergens first. The only things that came up positive were dust mites and cats. No foods at all. I was not really surprised. The reason I went was because of some skin issues that are not responding to the gluten-free diet. I found out that dust mites can cause eyelid problems (which is my biggest concern) and I have ordered casings for my matteress and pillows. I was lucky to find an allergist that has a Celiac aunt and he himself suffers from several food intolerances. He told me the best way to figure out my food intolerances (not allergies) is to use a rotation diet. He is willing to help me with that if I choose. I was also relieved to learn that my mouth symptoms from eating almonds is not serious (oral allergy syndrome) and that I am not allergic to nuts or peanuts. I had a positive experience with the allergist--but my visit was not to address the Celiac. As Nini said, Celiac is not an allergy. While it is possible to be allergic to wheat (it is a common allergen) you shouldn't confuse that with the autoimmune reaction that gluten causes in a Celiac. :)

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
