OK to start with i have been tested as having a wheat senstivty or a wheat intorence and yougurt but no mention of milk yet to cottage cheese but once again no mention of milk i find how can you be allergic to cottage cheese and yougurt both diary products but not to milk making me think the test results are not true again?? please bear in mind i am not sure yet if these are intorence or allergys that i was tested for as i am still awaiting the results but while sitting there having the test i was told i was to these things from the bio merdian test but have not been able to go over them as i have not recieved the results in writing ::

Also can someone be allergic to wheat and not gluten ??? i thought all wheat products are gluten and if you have gluten intorence are you coeliac disease??? as i understand gluten intorence and coeliac disease is the same thing ?? Meaning gluten is destroying you gut lining so does this make it the same thing please help me out ??? is this right???

My question is of this IS THE BIO MERDIAN A ACCURATE WAY OF TESTING AS I NOT SURE AS TO BELIEVE THE TEST RESULTS IT PRODUCES WHAT ARE YOUR THERIOES ON THIS PLEASE GUYS???

BUT THE PRACTIONER IS SWEARING BY THE RESULTS AND HAS EVEN SAID THAT HE HAD CURED HIM WHEN ALL OTHER RESULTS FAILED TO PICK UP ON HIS ILLNESSES PLEASE HELP I NEED ADVICE GUYS

I DONT EVEN KNOW IF I SHOULD EVEN BE ON A GLUTEN FREE DIET OR A WHEAT FREE DIET? CAN I OR SHOULD I BELIVE THESE RESULTS???? I WAS TOLD IT IS HARMFULL TO BE ON A WHEATFREE OR GLUTEN FREE DIET BY GLUTEN ADVICE LINE IF I DID NOT NEED TO BE ON ONE THIS IS WHY I AM WORRIED BUT AGAIN GOING BY THE BIO MERDIAN TEST RESULTS AND THE PRACTIONER ADVICE

Welcome aboard!

I know nothing about bio meridians--sorry!

But you CAN be diagnosed with wheat or gluten intolerance via a combo of symptoms and relief from those symptoms when on a gluten-free diet or a wheat-free diet, depending on whether your symptoms are caused by gluten (the protein in wheat AND in rye and barley) or just by wheat alone.

Why don't you tell us what kind of symptoms you've been experiencing that led your practitioner to suspect wheat in the first place? (Remembering, of course, that we are not doctors, and that this should not substitute for advice from your own doctor--this is just a way for you to gain knowledge, okay?)

Do note, that if celiac disease is a possibility for you, you might want to continue to eat wheat long enough to have a blood test, to see if you are producing antibodies to gluten.

Hi

I believed you are speaking of Naet or Bio-set when you mention Bio-Meridian. I have done this & use that method today as a means of releasing other allergrens from the body. I have always said that the practitioner must be excellent....

It appears you are not sure of the results so I would suggest you have the bloodwork done & go from there. If you have celiac, an autoimmune disease you must follow a gluten-free lifestyle strictly.There is no cure at this time --- only the diet.

Your practitioner can not make this curable. And if that is even suggested I would leave that practice. When I first started with alternative methods that was the first thing out of my practitioners mouth.... I can not cure or fix any autoimmune disorder.... I can help with allergies....

good luck

Please go to a regular M.D. for a dx. Complimentary medicine is that.....it complements traditional medical care. The term "alternative" medicine should be used when "traditional" has failed or is not satisfactory.

To use "alternative" such as Bio-Meridian in place of good medical care is dangerous. If you have Celiac, you need to know for sure.

I have practiced alternative medicine myself, I am a Dr. of Holistic Nutrition. But I would never consult with you until you have been to an M.D. first. And you bring your lab work along so I can see if you have clinical deficiencies.

GO TO AN M.D. and get a FULL CELIAC PANEL.

Then go to an allergist and see if you have an allergy to wheat.

After that, if you have CELIAC, you will need to be gluten-free for life. There is no cure. If you have wheat allergy, then you can go to your acupuncturist/chiropractor and try some alternative therapy.

CELIAC is a serious disease.

I just want to clarify two things that confused me for a while...

1) Wheat does have gluten. So do lots of other grains. You can have an allergy to wheat without having a gluten intolerance. Or you could have both. Allergies are IgE reactions. An allergist can do a skin test if you think you have problems with allergies (hives, breathing problems, etc... that occur within the first few minutes or hours after eating something you're allergic to). Blood tests are needed for food intolerances. A blood test is a VERY good place to start if you think you might have celiac disease. If you stop eating gluten before the blood test you'll never get an accurate result.

2) Dairy products have lactose and casein. Lactose is hard for a lot of people to digest (causes bloating and gas), but you can buy milk without lactose. Cheese and yogurt don't have much lactose, so even if you can't tolerate milk you might be able to eat those foods. Casein in the protein in daily products. If you have an allergy or intolerance to casein you can't have any dairy products. Casein is in ALL cow's milk products.

Do you know which part of milk can cause acne in some people, the casein or the lactose?

If you're intolerant to cow's milk then casein is the culprit. The reaction damages your intestines and reduces your abilty to produce lactase (the enzyme needed to digest lactose)... so it's a double whammy! When you're lactose intolerant... which is MUCH more common... your body isn't producing enough lactase, but that's typical when you're past the age of breastfeeding.

I have read a few things indicating that acne is connected to casein intolerance. I had a pretty severe case of acne as a teenager... and I was drinking a LOT of milk since I grew up in Wisconsin. In fact, my acne never completely went away. It just turned into adult acne! The good news is that it has been getting better on the dairy-free, gluten-free diet :)

Wish I knew this stuff as a teenager <_<

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. 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 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.
