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

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
