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

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?
    • Jmartes71
      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
