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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

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

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
