If you are allergic to these things you should NOT be eating them! For allergy testing you don't need the things in your system like with the celiac antibody testing. I came up as allergic to wheat a month ago even thoguh I have been gluten-free (and therefore wheat free) for the past 18 months. I really think you need to call him and ask him if by "eat normally" he meant that your should eat these things you are allergic to. I doubt very much that's what he meant since he also told you to get rid of the cat and clean well to help with your environmental allergens. Allergies can get much worse if you keep eating the thing syoua re allergic to. If they are not yet dangerous they may turn dangerous at anytime. I had an anaphylactic dairy reaction pop up this year and I have eaten dairy all my life but always suspected a "mild" allergy becaus eit used to make me congested. Please don't mess around with your health by eating the things you are allergic to unless you get clarification from your dr. that these are very mild allergies. And even if they are mild now they could turn dangerous at anytime if you keep eating them....

not to worry i am staying far away from soy that is quite a trigger that causes my throat to close my voice to go

i am not sure but i am thinking that fresh straberries or tomatoes are causeing hives probally both i have been eating the straberries today and have been breaking out in hives all day not pritty

so ill be staying away from that food

and the past couple of days i have been eating tomato based foods and been having hives pop up badly

i am happy that i tested that i am allergic to wheat so i can stick it in the mother in law's face to say see i am allergic to gluten :)

Have you checked your personal care products (lotions, shampoo, make-up, etc) for the things you are allergic to? I got hives from using lotion that had wheat germ oil in it. Soy is also used in a lot lotions and things in the form of vitamin E or Tocopherols.

i have checked some i relized that one of the lip glosses i use has soy in it so that got tossed out

i dont know about the other stuff i use there is no ing list on the makup

just checked the olay ing and dont see anything but im thining im so new at this i could be missing it my eyes are not trained yet to spot the bad ing

Make up and lotions are hard to read the ingredients because there are no laws saying allergens have to be labeled for non-food items. They can hide soy or wheat in tocopherols, mixed tococpherols or vitamin E and many other things. You may want to write to the companies of the products you use to find out if they are safe.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
