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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      This may be the problem. Every time you eat gluten it is like giving a booster shot to your immune system, telling it to react and produce antibodies again.

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.
