has anyone ever done this to test for a gluten or wheat sensitivity?

I have had muscle testing by an ND and found it very good for some problems and not very good for other problems. The ND said she found it to be about 80% accurate. I don't know if she tested me specifically for wheat or gluten, possibly not because she didn't say I was having a problem with it. She has been telling people to avoid gluten for the past 20 years. As she has explained it to me the testing only can tell what the person's body believes. There seem to be at least 2 ways to use muscle tests. One way is just see how the body reacts. The other way the muscle testing is part of evaluating the whole body and how the various systems are functioning. As the tests progress and problems are found the tester can refine the tests and look for more specific issues with each system. The theory of body function and balance is very different than the medical profession's ideas - it is based on the flow of energy in the body.

I strongly recommend you stick to scientifically proven methods. Applied Kinesiology has been thoroughly tested and it does not work.

Applied "Kinesiology" (not to be confused with Kinesiology an actual valid field of science) has been put to the test numerous times and has been shown to have no greater predictive value than chance (flip a coin) every single time, across multiple "licensed" applied "kinesiologists".

Basically the way it works is if you tell the "professional" that you suspect a wheat problem then they will either consciously or subconsciously end up forcing the results to show that you do in fact have a wheat problem. They collect money from you and you walk away with your suspicions confirmed. Everyone's happy I guess, but you can just save yourself the money and flip a coin in your living room, it's just as reliable.

Are you talking about EMG test?

      Emergency Room

      By Katerific · Posted

      On Saturday I got glutened so badly that I had to go to the Emergency Room at the hospital.  I only eat in restaurants approximately 2 times a year.  We went to a pizza place that has gluten free pizza.  They show nutritional information about all their menu items and it seemed I could get all the ingredients for my gluten free pizza.  Now I read that pizzerias are one of the top places to get glutened.  About 2 hours later, I started vomiting and having diarrhea.  I couldn't stop vomiting, I was dizzy, pouring sweat and I was shaking so much.  I have never felt so sick in my life.  The hospital gave me Zofran and a bag of saline and I went home a few hours later.  Yesterday I sat in the recliner and sipped Pedialyte and ate gluten-free crackers all day.  I felt weak and nauseous.  Today I feel better, but weak.  What else should I do to recover from the gluten assault on my body?

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      Normal vitamin D range us from 20 ng/ml to 100 ng/ml.  200 nmol/L is the same as 80ng/ml. Minimum vitamin D is based soley on preventing Rickets and osteomyelitis.  Othe research is considered irrelevant insufficnet proof.   My 25(OH)D level is just over 80 ng/dl.  It took 8 years of 10,000 IU a day to get here because Celiac Disease causes low D.  In 1952 the UK banned all vitamin D supplementation due to a error.  Most of the world followed suit.  In the western world vitamin D deficiency ranges from 40% of the US to 60% in the UK. If you had an office with workspace for 30 to 100 workers, but you were restricted to less than 50 workers, how well would the office run.? A factory worker has 40 ng/ml,  A lifeguard has around 80.  Who's immune system works better? Simultaneously, 1,25(OH)2D3 up- and downregulates more than 1000 genes responsible for cellular proliferation, differentiation, a variety of cellular metabolic activities, antiangiogenesis and apoptosis   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9919777/

      Welcome to the forum, @Mpanknin! Questions like that really have no definite answer. Even if you tested a container of it for gluten content, the test results would only be good for that production batch. Assume it has some degree of CC. A more important question might be, how sensitive are you to minor amounts of gluten exposure?

      Thanks Wheatwacked. My D is normal. I take B12, B6, and a bone health supplement (I'm 67) that has K1, Calcium, Magnesium, and a bunch of other things. But no thiamine. But I will have my doc add it to my next blood draw. Thanks for the info WW!
