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.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
