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.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS. I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input a...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      Can the rest of your household eat the food with gluten instead of getting rid of it? Can you create one shelf, or partial shelf, for your new food in the pantry, in the fridge and in the cabinets as a start? My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Thanks for the advice, if my sensitivity comes back i’ll do that but I am 74, in good health for my age and probably have been sensitive to gluten for over 30 years the beginning of which I didn’t even know or suspect It was gluten. I’m seen by my doctor every three months with fasting labs, he knows I avoid gluten and has never suggested I should be conce...

I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods go on the upper shelves so crumbs with gluten can’t fall onto them. Good luck!

I’m seen by my doctor every three months with fasting labs, he knows I avoid gluten and has never suggested I should be concerned. It is quite possible a doctor did those tests on me 30 years ago, I just don’t remember, if they did and they were negative that’s why I wouldn’t remember. If you are interested I’ll keep you posted, but from what i’ve read there is no cure for genetic celiac disease and right now I’ve never felt worse than diarrhea eating wheat or better than I do now eating wheat. If there is no cure I doubt my episode with an antibiotic is the cure which means I don’t have celiac. This antibiotic may be a cure for sensitivity however….i hope.
