Welp our son was 80-90% better on the gluten-free diet, so we took him to a allegist for some food testing. Turns out he is also alergic to egg! So now we have to learn ho to look for egg in everything! Ugh. :(

LOL...I'm with you on the coffee.....

Did the doctor say the severity of the allergy? Sometimes it can be very minor so you could have it in moderation, that can not be done of course if its a severe allergy. Like maybe he could have things that have a little bit of eggs in it but not like eggs straight or something with alot?

Maybe you should get allergy testing done and see what's going on with you..

We thing alot alike... after posting that I called and schedualed an apt for myself. I will be away on vaction, so it wont be til the 25th...

He gave it a 3 out of 4 for servitiy, so bad, but could be worse I guess. But he said that 80% of kids grow out of egg algeries. We are to get him re tested in a year.

Hopefully he does grow out of it. The gluten free diet may help him to outgrow the other allergy because his system will be stronger.

Looks like you have quite a handful...but your right it could be way worse.

Definitely smart to get you tested...another thing, if it is not eggs..when I first started the diet I was not sensitive to gluten and everything I ate gave me stomach aches until my intestines healed and the longer I was gluten-free the more sensitive I became.

Could it be possible, if its not another allergy causing you problems, that the damage you may have(if celiac) is making you randomly feel bad and it may all be linked to that? Just a thought

Or you maybe could have other allergies or intolerances in addition to gluten.

Yea, its possible I spose.. I just have alot of questions.. and no answers yet. I am going on three years of trying to solve this with no luck yet. So I have gotten a bit pesstimistic. I have been thinking of going back on gluten for a few months while saving for Entrolab. I am anemic, so the biposy SHOULD have been postive if it was celiac disease. Its hard to belive 2 seperate doctors missed durring 2 seperate endoscopies, but they could have even they admit that. Since my ins wont cover the blood tests I realy dont have much other recourse if I am to solve this. It could be mulpte things, and only testing is gonna discover that I think. I think I need to do somthing to at least eliminate a few mote possible ansers.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Alibu, Migraines ran in my family as well.  Correcting my Thiamine insufficiency made a dramatic improvement in frequency and duration.   If you take Thiamine, B12 and B6 together, they have analgesic (pain relieving) properties.  Taking thiamine every day has cut down on their occurrence and severity for me.   Take Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  These forms get into the brain easily.  Magnesium Threonate gets into the brain easily, too, and helps thiamine work.  My gave a sigh of relief when I first took it, and no migraines. Yes, lowering histamine levels helps one feel better, too.  Vitamin C and B12 help reduce histamine.  A low histamine diet can help, too.  DAO supplements lower histamine, as well.  DOA is a digestive enzyme we can run short on.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ehb   Great you're going to start the AIP diet!  I know it's scary and stressful, but you'll soon start feeling better.  It's a challenge, but you can make it.  Do ask for a Erythrocyte Transketolace test which tests for Thiamine level.   I hope your Vitamin D level is between 70 and 100 nmol/L.  In this optimal range, Vitamin D can act like a hormone and regulate the immune system.  Vitamin D 3 is the form that the body can utilize well.  I was prescribed the synthetic firm D2 and my body didn't like it.  I know getting my Vitamin D up in the eighties made a world of difference to me.  My depression improved and I felt so much better at higher levels.   I prefer Life Extension brand for many vitamins.  The important thing is to read the label and watch out for fillers like rice flour.  This may help. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      @knitty kitty I have an appointment to go over the results tomorrow. Vitamin D was in the normal range. I’ve decided to start the gluten contamination elimination diet, while avoiding nightshades as recommended by the AIP. I am still hoping to get support from a nutritionist or advice from the doctor about supplements to make sure I’m getting enough nutrients. I’m still having a hard time sorting through all of the different brands and possible combinations

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      By cristiana · Posted

      We've definitely all had such thoughts.  But as Scott says, it does get easier with time.  I'm not sure where you are posting from but in England where I live, over the last ten years or so most things I missed at first now have gluten free substitutes.   I still miss Twix bars, and chocolate Penguins (a type of biscuit) but I'm hoping sooner or later someone will create a decent substitute for them! One thing that I remember my husband said to me when I was feeling down one day  was: "Why don't you try to think of all the things you can still eat, rather than the things you can't?"  The list is long, and it did help - sort of!

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain
