Dairy, Soy And Corn

It has been recommended to me that I try and determine whether or not I also have allergies to dairy, soy and corn. But it isn't clear HOW to figure it out. One nutritionist suggested cutting them all out for several months and then reintroduce them one at a time. The gastro doc I saw said it isn't necessary at all, my pcp thinks it's a good idea but is concerned that because I don't show symptoms for gluten, I won't know with the other allergens either.

I'm SOOOOOO confused!! :(

Any advice?

As far as I know, I don't have any symptoms at all. But I do have celiac, even without the symptoms. And my oh-so-bad health history (see below) leaves me not wanting to take chances. But gluten-free is a big adjustment in and of itself, so I don't want to force myself to cut anything else out unnecessarily.

I would suggest that the only way to do this is to do the Enterolab stool testing which can be ordered online, or are there tests your physician can order which would be covered by your insurance. Obviously, measuring dietary response would be an exercise in futility. :unsure:

Thanks - never heard of that. Will ask doctor about it tomorrow.

The Dr. probably won't know about it. They are online though. And a lot of people here have used them for food sensitivities and gluten intolerance. They can test for several things. Good luck

Actually, he did know about it. He's a great integrative physician and is the one who discovered the celiac even though I wasn't complaining of symptoms. He suggested waiting, though - said that until my blood tests for the celiac get to negative, it will be hard to tell what's causing what. So the plan is to revisit the idea in about 6-9 months.

He's one of the best things that has ever happened to me. In fact, I trust him with my celiac issues more than the GI . . . they aren't always easy to find, but if you can find an integrative and/or "functional" medicine doctor - DO IT.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      IMO, the information contained in this article is extremely important. Several medical science articles I have run across lately indicate that researchers are just beginning to uncover connections between gut health and diseases we would never have imagined as having a link. One example is Parkinson's. But this sentence caught my eye from this article...

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      @Dorothy O. Your story is incredibly powerful, and it highlights something that still happens far too often—family members of people with celiac disease aren’t always told that they should be tested, even though first-degree relatives have up to a 1 in 10 chance of having it. It’s heartbreaking that you went so many decades without a diagnosis, especially given...

      CT with contrast.

      It’s actually very common for doctors to order both an endoscopy with biopsies and additional imaging like a CT scan with contrast, depending on your symptoms. The endoscopy with biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease because it allows doctors to directly examine the small intestine and check for villous atrophy. A CT scan, however, doesn’t...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Say what you will about Peter Osborne, but he gave me back my life. Back in 2007 he was not promoting grain free, but came to that conclusion a few years later. While I did OK on gluten free, I really saw the greatest recovery when I went grain free. I notice a huge difference if I eat a gluten free food that contains any sort of grain. I ache all over...

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s actually very common for doctors to order both an endoscopy with biopsies and additional imaging like a CT scan with contrast, depending on your symptoms. The endoscopy with biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease because it allows doctors to directly examine the small intestine and check for villous atrophy. A CT scan, however, doesn’t diagnose celiac disease but can help rule out other causes of abdominal pain, weight loss, anemia, or inflammation. Your doctor may be looking for complications, structural issues, or conditions that can mimic celiac symptoms. So while the CT isn’t part of routine celiac testing for everyone, it is normal if your doctor wants a more complete picture of what’s going on.

I ache all over, have digestive issues and my rash comes roaring back.  I think it is probably, because grains are sprayed with Glyphosate in the drying process before being shipped.  Thanks, but I will stick to my organic, grain free diet and continue to feel well at 73.  Not missing out on nutrients as I follow a strict supplement plan based on testing.

      celiac disease and braces

      By Anne G · Posted

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.
