Laser Treatment For Allergies

Hello All,

Next week my son and I are going to get allergy tested and find out what foods we can eat together as a family. And to see if my son is still allergic or has sensitivities to things he use to be, but doesn't appear to be now. Or if He is also gluten intolerant.I have come upon the possibility of laser treatment for allergies and other things. Does anyone know of this, or has had this treatment for allergies? Would like to hear of experiences from others if they have, or have just researched it. Interested in what people know about it.

Thanks

Peace41

I am not sure where you are getting all of your information from, but I would double check and think hard before committing your time and money to things such as laser therapy for allergies. :rolleyes: I know lasers can be used for skin conditions like acne and for reducing the appearance of wrinkles (red and blue laser therapy) but I have never heard of any being used for treating allergies......unless you have a skin condition caused by allergies. Is this what you mean?

I use lasers in my profession, as I am in the science field, so you have sparked my interest! Could you provide a link to this information?

In additon celiac is not an allergy it is an autoimmune disease. Allergy testing will NOT pick up celiac. If the doctor will guide you through an elimination diet that however could be helpful, not all allergist will so do call and ask before the appointment.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
