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.

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.
