Lame Advertisement Tests?

Has anyone ordered the Lame Advertisement tests? I'm firmly gluten-free, and I'm finally mostly convinced that soy is a problem, but I think I could feel much better if I got all the problem foods out of my diet. I want to know if anyone has ordered from them and what they thought?

Thanks for any info. :)

ETA: Wow... I guess this board has had problems with them, cause it looks like the name has been Java'd. Maybe they aren't a good company to go with... :(

Shalia,

I can't help as far as Lame Advertisement. I had a blood draw from a doctor who had branched out into allergy/intolerances. He runs the ELISA test and uses US Biotek.

There have been past advertisements for Lame Advertisement, so it triggers something here. I haven't heard anything bad about them though.

I noticed that too whenever I tried to type Lame Advertisement without the spaces, something else came up! Kind of freaked me out!

Anyway, my naturopath, who's really a pretty saavy guy, likes the test. I guess it's big in Europe, but not so much here. It's pricey - $600-$900. My daughter's insurance company said they will pay for it if an MD orders it. But she's having a terrible time finding an MD who has ever even HEARD of it. :blink:

From what I understand, it works on the same basic idea as the ELISA test, only much larger with many more foods and environmental things like molds, dander, etc. But I don't know if it's worth it or not.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. As I stated on another thread, I think enterolab would probably be the most reliable for dairy, soy, eggs and anything else they include. You already know you are gluten intolerant. But I don't know any other way to test for delayed type allergy reactions to all the other foods other than an ELISA or Lame Advertisement.

Thanks, both of you. :) I'm wanting to do *something* and it seems like Optimal Research isn't as good as they used to be, so I'm thinking Lame Advertisement might be an alternate.

Maybe I'll guinea pig for them. :)

Hey, I got an Lame Advertisement test in sept of 2005 because I was having REALLY bad GERD and no doc could tell me why, just put me on three different meds. The Lame Advertisement test was the first thing that showed me gluten, and I then found this board, then EnteroLab, then my doc's celiac panel, and the rest is history. I have see someone spam this board with their ads, which is a real shame, because I really believe in this company an in their tests.

My test was 400.00 (the most foods you can get), and showed several other foods besides gluten. When I tried to eat those foods again (after eliminating them for a month like they suggested) I would notice the side effects. Like gluten (my intestines shut down and I passed out and ended up in the ER....which led me to Celiac Disease), and sweet potato (they give me terrible headaches). Anyway, my point is that I give them a lot of credit, and really believe in this test.

Hey, thanks! :) That's just what I needed to hear. :) As soon as I have the money, I'm going to give them a try.

I mean really tired. I also have joint pain and headaches. I was told this is from Celiac, but they say the tiredness may not be. If so, does anything help you with this? ...

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      Hi everyone, I decided to post this since there's no enough online information. I'm concerned about the enzyme capsules that are said to help digest gluten. I'm waiting to end my university exams to start the gluten challenge and do the official diagnosis for Celiac Disease. A friend of mine suggested me to buy the "Gluten Digest Now" capsules...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Try heallix solution. It's at heallix.com It's a silver and fulvic acid solution. I just put it on a cotton ball and wiped the shingles area. I also took a little internally once a day. I can't remember how many times a day I applied to the area. Probably 3-4 times a day. It was the only thing that stopped the nerve pain. I don't know if the vaseline is...

      What's missing, for me, from this article, is a timeline for implementation in countries. Western countries are often quite slow to implement, and some countries I've been to have no labelling whatsoever...

      I have had celiac for over 5 years.  I am in a smaller town, and it is not a common thing.  Can you all help me with a few things?  I keep going to my Doctor because I am so tired.  I mean really tired.  I also have joint pain and headaches.  I was told this is from Celiac, but they say the tiredness may not be.  If so, does anything help you with this?  I am on Vitamin B shots, but they are not taking care of the problem.  Also, when I eat eggs, they tear me up.  This gives be intestinal issues badly.  Eggs in things, do not bother me as eating a boiled or fried egg.  I need some celiac friends and advice.  Thanks all!!

I'm concerned about the enzyme capsules that are said to help digest gluten.  I'm waiting to end my university exams to start the gluten challenge and do the official diagnosis for Celiac Disease. A friend of mine suggested me to buy the "Gluten Digest Now" capsules during the Gluten Challenge to manage my severe side effects. But I'm not sure if it's worth it, if it's celiac disease the intestinal damage will occur regardless.  What about the symptoms? There's someone that knows if it could help to reduce them?  I’m worried people might be using these as a "safety net" without understanding how they work. Has anyone here used them during a challenge? Did they make a difference, or did they just provide a false sense of security?

I don't know if the vaseline is good.  The shingles need to dry out and heal.  Wash everything that comes in contact  with them in hot water. Don't use or wear anything twice.

His dr prescribed gabapentin 300mg 3x a day and he's also taking naproxen 500ng 2x a day and tylenol 1000mg every 6 hrs. Hope this helps  The lidocaine cream is by tylenol and is available in a large tube on Amazon or at Walmart

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein bar to fill and play it safe.
