Just Got Fecal Test Report Back, I'm Allergic To Everything?

Hello All,

I understand the IgA fecal test will show food intolerance 'allergies', not like IgE peanut allergy where you have breathing difficulties, etc.

So, I'm "allergic" to: Gluten, Caesin, Egg, Soy, Corn, Walnut, Almond, Oats, Rice, Potatoes (possibly all nightshades)...

So, the question is, am I just experiencing leaky gut, and once my gut heals, I will not be taxing my immune system to eat things like RICE or does this mean I should avoid all these at all costs? It seems like I would be allergic to anything I am tested for.

I've been gluten and caesin free for 2 months, and I feel soo much better. My head is clearer, my thoughts are clearer. I am less emotional. I am more in control. Even when I am sick, I don't take it out on my family like I used to. So i know that this diet change is working. Now I'm wondering how far to take it. I don't need potatoes, but losing tomatoes, and eggplant, that hurts...

Then again, maybe this is all okay, and if my gut heals, I'll be fine. I just dont know how it works.

Here is my lab report:

---

Date: 7/7/2011

A) Gluten/Antigenic Food Sensitivity Stool Panel Limited

Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 162 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Fecal Anti-casein (cow

My wife was negative for Rice and Oats... but that's it.

Maybe now that I've spent all this money from Entero, I should go to my doc and see whats up.

Oscar is a bit of a cynic. Yes, do talk to your doctor. Enterolab has been the topic of many lively discussions here and remains a controversial subject.

This is purely my opinion based on unscientific feelings. I met the Enterolab doc. I was excited to hear from him. Saw him speak. Left at the intermission. He was a bit too slick for my tastes. I never felt he gave us enough info to understand the way the tests work. I think there is something to testing poop. It is what our body is rejecting. I would take the results with a grain of salt as the saying goes. Use them as a starting or place to start a trial.

If you haven't had a celiac panel run by your doctor you may want to do so before starting the diet. If you want to have an endo don't start gluten free until that test is done. Do keep in mind that false negatives are common with both those tests though so after that testing do give the gluten free diet a good strict try for at least a couple of months to see if it helps. You may find your reactions to other foods calms down after you have been gluten free for a bit.

I was allergic to almost everything the doctor tested for prediagnosis. I showed reactions to 98 out of 99 things tested for. After a few months on the diet most of the other reactive items were safe for me. My allergist said that my system was in 'hyperdrive' when he did the first tests because of my celiac and that once my body healed from the celiac damage it was then not reacting to the other substances.

Yes. As I've said before though that is a question with no statistically valid answer since the population sample is self selecting with a bias towards positive results.

Well he lives in a trash can! That would make anybody cynical since all you'd ever see is the world's garbage, never any of the good stuff. We should all chip in and buy him one of those new anti-bacterial UV sterilizing touchless kitchen garbage cans. :rolleyes:

I don't know if I want to chip in a for a big fancy new garbage can, but I'd go for spraying him with a big can of Lysol disinfectant anytime. Lemon scent would be helpful! :blink:B):P

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
