What Tests Are Done For Soy And Lactose Allergies?

Since I've been on my gluten-free diet, I still have been drinking Silk Soy milk, Soy yogurts, etc...I don't really avoid milk products, but I don't really use them anyhow...

I still have inconsistant days, so I wondered if I should see if I am Lactose intolerant or allergic to soy...

Does anyone know what specific tests they do for these?

I feel like I should get tested for all sorts of food allergies just to rule things out!

On another note...can anyone recommend a gluten free B12 supplement?

Thanks all...

Christopher

Lactose intolerance will not fall under allergy testing. Lactose intolerance deals with issues digesting the sugar. Allergy involves protein, usually but not restricted to casein. For lactose intolerance there is a blood test or a breath test. I have not participated in either test and I don't know the accuracy.

For traditional allergies, you could request blood testing. Try to avoid skin testing, there are too many false results there.

There is also Enterolab testing.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
