Food Allergies

Pre-Dx,About a year and half ago I had a food allergy test done (skin test) and they found a slight reaction to clams and crabs...I have never had crabs before so I wouldnt know, but I used to eat clam chower with no ill effects. So i avoided it, including shrimp, because i thought i had a reaction once, but i dont know if it was a gluten reaction cause they were fried. (i used to eat shrimp all the time too)

Now I just had a test done last week and I had NO reactions to ANYTHING?!!? does that make sense?? my allergist said that he feels comfortable if I ate the crab or clams, but if i did feel any reaction, not to eat it cause it could develop into something...

Has this happend to anyone else? Now im freaked to eat anything cause allergies can develop...i know im prob being too cautious, but having celiac can do that to you ;)

Was the second test of the same type as the first? If not, that could explain the difference.

Aside from that, there's the leaky gut issue. If there has been healing in your gut lining then some of those larger than normal protein molecules of an incomplete digestion stage are no longer getting into circulation.

Yes they were the same type of skin test....

      Our son was put on Minocycline for his acne.  It did not solve the acne problem.  He developed drug induced lupus and pericarditis from it and missed an entire year of high school.  He literally went from playing football to bedridden in a couple of weeks.  His PCP tested him for genetic antibiotic resistance and he cannot take any drug in the Tetracycline family.  His gut microbiome was totally destroyed.  In fact he had a stool test done and had no good bacteria, whatsoever.   What did fix his (and his brother's acne) years after the Minocycline debacle was when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and the kids were tested.  They were both put on a Gluten Free/ Caesin Free diet and within a week both kids were totally free of acne.  The family has now been on the diet 18 years and no acne, except for a teenage grandson who will not adhere.  The big clue that he is eating gluten is that his face breaks out!

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      thank you all for the kind words and support. it truly means a lot. i know i will adapt, it really just is a grieving process right now though. looking forward to feeling healthier!

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV
