Hey Everyone, ok so I am a bit confused ! So I did a food sensitivity test that tested positive for the following IgG antibodies/food sensitivities: High Sensitivity to Whole Milk & Whole Eggs; Medium Sensitivity to Wheat (non-gluten) & Cocoa Bean; and Slight Intolerance to Gluten, Rice, Shell Fish, Nut mix, Soya Bean, & Yeast. So, What does this mean? Does that mean I shouldn't eat these things? Also, What is the difference between "allergy" and "sensitivity" ?

I have also been hearing a lot about "leaky gut" syndrome. What is it, and is it common? The symptoms are so many of the symptoms that I have, but then again those symptoms are common to MANY things :blink:

Is this something that a colonoscopy and biopsy would pick up on? (I had a colonoscopy the other day, and they did 3 biopsies)

Thanks, guys :)

I am not qualified to respond to your questions about allergy and sensitivity. I have only found that omitting foods and food groups has helped by trial and error and I learn A LOT on this site. I have been dealing with my second bout of Leaky Gut in the two yrs I've been gluten intolerant. Natural nutritional supplements from my Chiropractor/Nutritionist help me get rid of my sensitivities faster before.

The best explanation for Leaky Gut is on a site posted by Meline recently:

Open Original Shared Link

It actually recommended foods to help heal the gut, which I had never seen.

I doubt that a colonoscopy or biopsy would pick it up or that a regular MD would even recognize the term. The people on this forum are your best consultants!

Good luck!

Naturopathic doctors use a simple test to diagnose leaky gut. You drink a solution of water and 2 sugars(I think mannulose is one; I can't remember the other). One is a large molecule sugar and the other is a small molecule. Then you collect all urine for several hours and it gets mailed to a diagnostic lab where they check the ratio between the 2 sugars. An elevated ratio indicates leaky gut. If you have gut permeability issues the small molecule will tend to leak out and therefore cause an elevated ratio of large molecule sugars in the urine. The higher the ratio the worse the gut permeability issue. Glutamine is sometimes proscribed as it is a building block for the intestinal membrane. Of course, it always best to diagnose the cause of the leaky gut and address the root of the problem.Hope this helps. I've been dealing with this issue for years.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
