Bioresonance Testing?


Hev75

Hi - I've been tested for Coeliac Disease twice now and both blood tests have shown negative results. I've been having classic symptoms now for about two years and others which go back further. Instead I was diagnosed with IBS. Frustrating! I took dairy and gluten out of my diet earlier this year and kept a food diary and then added back in for the gluten challenge. Whilst removed, after the initial withdrawal a lot of symptoms improved - no headaches and joint pain reduced. Bowel movements were returning to something like normal. Since putting them back in it's all come back again. I wasn't sure if it was dairy or gluten as I'd taken them both out. I've long suspected I have an issue with dairy, so I've taken that out again and whilst I'm not getting such bad side effects from that anymore, I still feel that gluten might be giving me issues as I've got a lot of things which keep manifesting - really bad headaches, beaus lines on nails, itchy skin, loose stools with urgency to go, tired all the time - the list goes on. 

I'd been told by a friend about bioresonance testing. Very sceptical but went with an open mind and wasn't sure what to expect. A bit like when you go to the fair and see a fortune teller and they've very good at picking bits out of your backstory. I'd already told her I'd been tested for Coeliac and I'd got issues with dairy, so was no surprise when the little thing stopped spinning when she put the wheat and dairy capsules in the slot (not sure what the technical term is for it all). However... there were lots of other things that she noted my body struggles with a lot of those rang very true as well. Grapes, for example - I struggle with wine these days.

I just wondered if anyone else had had this type of bioresonance testing and whether it really is advisory to take guidance from it. I'm aware that the only way to really test again for gluten intolerance is to remove it and see what happens. The doctors won't take it further, as two blood tests have been negative, but we have Coeliac disease in our family and history of things like bowel and stomach cancers, so I want to avoid this at all costs and having indicators of a problem means I want to do something about it while I can. Can NCGS cause bowel cancer in the same way that Coeliac Disease can, if gluten is continued to be consumed?

Any advice would be appreciated. 

Thanks.

I am also skeptical of this "bioresonance" testing. To me it sounds like classic pseudo science, and I doubt there have been any scientific studies done on it to show that it is effective:

Quote

Bioresonance testing uses electrodes to measure the electrical resistance of acupuncture points, measuring energy levels and indicating the presence of disease, according to its supporters. The medical community generally does not accept the accuracy of this and other energetic medicine devices.

However, non-celiac gluten sensitivity is a real thing that has been studied, and fairly recently described as a separate condition from celiac disease. So far I've not seen studies on the long term health consequences for those with NCGS who continue to eat gluten, but to me it sounds like you already don't want to do that.

I have a hunch based on all of the studies I've looked at that there will be certain health consequences for those with NCGS who continue to eat gluten, and I do believe that for some it may be a transitional state which could later lead to celiac disease.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
