Help With Food Tests Please!

Hello to all, this is my first post & will try to make it as short as possible.

I tested negative for celiac. Although I am not sure if I was given all of the correct tests. I never received an anti-gliadin test. Anyway....

Has anyone had any testing done for a wide range of food sensitivities? Do such tests exist?

I have a long list of foods which (I think) I am sensitive to....

gluten, corn, eggs, soy, carrots, apples, garbonzo beans. I am just having a hard time pinpointing what foods are a problem for me, and I am sure there are others.

My brain has been fried for the past 6 months, and I can't think clear anymore.

Can anyone help?

There is another thread running about an elimination diet, and that is what I think you need. This is where you go all the way back to eating very plain foods, like chicken, meat, rice, sweet potatoes, veggies you know you don't react to, and any fruits you know are safe for you. Eat this diet for a good four weeks (I know, you will be sick of it, but no one promised it wouldn't be boring to start with.) Then you get to add back in another food every four days (to allow time for delayed reactions). As I said in the other thread, try to keep this new addition as pure as possible--like a baked potato, some steamed carrots, etc., and keep adding until you find a culprit to eliminate. Corn, eggs and soy are notorious culprits, and legumes like garbanzo beans also cause a lot of problems. Save them all to the end so that you will have successes before failures of challenges.

Good luck with your food adventure.

Some people have used www.enterolab.com to test for sensitivities to gluten, dairy, eggs, yeast and soy.

I am working through similar issues right now and I don't have a lot of answers. I am currently thinking peanuts and legumes might be a problem for me so I am doing some elimination trials of these foods.

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
