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.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
