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.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests...

      Young celiac person looking for advice

      Hello, I’m only 20 and recently got diagnosed with celiac disease. I’ve been gluten free for around 2-3 months now but still feel miserable with bouts of gi symptoms that can come and go. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong since I’ve cut back on a lot of food and eat more Whole Foods alongside using my own plates and such to avoid possible sites of cross ...

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      Does this require proof of having refractory celiac? I’ve been gluten free for a couple months but still feel miserable but I’m not sure if its refractory celiac disease.

      EGD with flatten mucosa

      Welcome to the forum, @HeloIP! There are some other diseases, some medications (NSAIDs, olmesartan) and even some other food protein intolerances (the dairy protein casein) that can cause flattened villi in the duodenum but the most likely cause is celiac disease. Your GI doc may want to run some blood work to check for antibodies that are specific...

One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Hello, I’m only 20 and recently got diagnosed with celiac disease. I’ve been gluten free for around 2-3 months now but still feel miserable with bouts of gi symptoms that can come and go. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong since I’ve cut back on a lot of food and eat more Whole Foods alongside using my own plates and such to  avoid possible sites of cross continuation. Recently my gi symptoms seemed to have gotten better but now I’m having a tension headache and some bouts of anxiety which were characteristic of my state when I first started out in the gluten free diet. Am I doing something wrong for these symptoms to come and go randomly??? Or is this normal for the healing process to be so random. I’m scared that I might have unresponsive celiac or refractory even though it would be highly unlikely…

Your GI doc may want to run some blood work to check for antibodies that are specific to celiac disease as a follow-up so, in case he/she does, don't start a gluten-free diet until that blood draw is done.
