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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
