I didn't realize that the lactose test and dairy allergy test were different. I told DD doc. last week that I wanted her to have the dairy allergy test done to see if she was allergic to milk and he did the lactose test instead. This really makes me mad b/c that same day he had another Celiac blood panel done on her to make sure that she was glutened by something that was causing her bloating. They could have stuck DD one time and drawn extra blood for the food allergy test. Now we have to go and get stuck again tomorrow.

BTW, her celiac level is suppose to be a 3 and it's a 4 which shows that she's got a very tiny amt. of gluten from somewhere. That's what the nurse said anyway.

Thanks.

How frustrating! It is so painful and hard to get them to do blood tests to begin with and now have to go back again. Yuck! And your daughter will definitley remember too. How old is your daughter? Kirsten got stuck 4 times yesterday trying to get enough blood for all of her celiac panels and she was not a happy 18 month old. Dr ordered allergy tests too. I hope he wrote down the right ones. I emphathize with you. Hope the next stick goes well the first try. Kendra

We got a rx for a topical lidocane cream. You put it on thick about an hour before the blood draw/shot and it numbs the area. We call it the magic cream!!

Well my DD is 9 almost 10 but she still hates needles. I hate it for her too. Unfortunately we probably won't have time for the cream but I'll remember it for next time. I need cream like that when I get shots. ha ha I haven't had my tetnus in years. I'm way over due I am just too scared of needles.

I believe the allergy test is called a RAST and it covers all the major allergens so hopefully, it was ordered correctly.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
