CELIAC TEST RESULTS OFFERED IN JUST TEN MINUTES

HOLLYWOOD, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2006--The latest advancement

in the screening for food allergy, food intolerance and Celiac Disease

is available through US-based Optimum Health Resource Laboratories. With

an estimated 70-80% of the world's chronically ill population suffering

from medical conditions either caused and/or aggravated by immune

responses to foods, it is anticipated that for many these laboratory

innovations will be the key to gaining optimal health.

"Our collection kits are a convenient, reliable and cost-effective

method for an individual or medical professional to identify the hidden

culprits behind many chronic ill-health conditions of unknown origin.

Additionally, our collection kits can be administered in the comfort of

one's home or at a doctor's office," says John Kernohan, Director of

Optimum Health Resource Laboratories.

For food allergy and food intolerance, a unique collection kit is used

by simply pricking the end of the finger to collect the tiny sample of

blood required for testing. According to Charlotte Newbury, Optimum

Health Resource Laboratories' Operations Manager, "The absorbent pad

safely preserves the specimen until it reaches the laboratory, which is then

tested against 96 foods. In addition to the results and a 48-page

support program we produce for the patient, we also include 12 months of

telephone and Internet support at no additional cost!"

"For Celiac Disease, our kit detects the antibodies associated with celiac disease

and gluten intolerance by displaying results within 10 minutes of

collecting the blood - there is no need to send the specimen to the

laboratory for analysis," states Kernohan.

For further information about Optimum Health Resource Laboratories and

its kits for food allergy, food intolerance and Celiac Disease, visit

Is this test effective if a person has a gluten intolerance and has not been eating gluten for some time? If it is cheap enough, I might try it for confirmation. Barbara

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.
