My Elisa Food Test For Igg Antibodies Is Back

Most everything showed no reaction, but let's look at what showed a reaction.

Low Reaction - Whey (protein in dairy) and Almond

Moderate Reaction - Gliadin (Wheat) and Whole Wheat - Both were closer to High than Low reaction

High Reaction - Gluten (Wheat), and Rye

And what, quite curiously, is missing with regards to reaction. Barley and Oat. Given more info about celiac/gluten and oats not being a problem, I might just have to try an oat that is known for being gluten free (no cross contamination). I thought for sure my reaction to dairy would be higher though, perhaps it's only a lactose reaction or perhaps I'm just sensitive to the low reaction of whey.

It's pretty cool that it matches very well with the data from Enterolab. Being that I showed reaction to gluten, but no reaction to soy, egg, casein in both this test and in the stool test via Enterolab.

It also appears that I might have to give eggs another chance now and test soy again.

Here's info on what all I had tested:

Hey Mikey! He likes it!

Sorry, couldn't resist. :ph34r: But it makes me wonder what Life Cereal is made of...probably gluten.

Hi

I had my IgG test done in the UK - I've got 14 with high reaction (and said to avoid, but can't do all of them at once straight away!), and 13 with a low reaction that I should rotate! More than average apparantly.

Anyway, wheat and gluten/gliadin came up high with me, but barley and rye were in the 'no reaction' column - which was a bit odd. Wasn't til I called the test place (I had mine done at York Test) and had my free 30mins consultation, that the lady said that that is just how they print them, and that I should avoid Barely and Rye too (guess that brings me up to 16 high reactions!) - could your results just be a similar type of thing, being 'written wrongly'?

Hi Sara, I sure hope that they don't make mistakes in writting up lab results. Makes me wonder about the rest of the results and how accurate they are. I suppose I should contact the company to see what they say.

Thanks,

Mike

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
