I'm really confused about all that.....how is it possible then that some sensitivities "go away" after avoidance of that food for a period of time? I've had ELISA food sensitvity tests done and the explanations that came with my test results stated that foods with "high" reactivity need to be avoided for several years if not forever. Other foods with "low" reactivity can be rotated back into the diet after a few months. How do you know if something is for life or not? What about the gluten....does the fact that I have this gene and + tTg mean that its something different (more serious) than any other sensitivities? I'm soooo lost. :huh:

What does the elisa test use as it marker for detecting food sesitivities. does it use antibody counts like ENTEROLAB. that could explain the difference between a sensitivity and an intolerance. I am just as confused as you are now. I hope somebody can make sense of this.

Hi all -

I don't know a whole lot about this but know that antibodies are a problem when they attack your body by mistake. It could be that the antibodies being tested by EnteroLab are those that attack your body, while Elisa tests and the like find other reactions, not just autoimmune antibodies.

I do know that those found by Enterolab are the kind you want to avoid for life, and not go back on. I think the slow reactions, which I believe (don't sue me!) are the IgG reactions, and they are a different animal than the IgA reactions. And the IgG ones are the ones that can be retested later.

Just know there are many kinds of reactions to foods, etc, and they are not all the same so don't all follow the same rules. :) (uh, just like people!)

Stephanie...How do you know all this stuff? :blink:

I saw a doctor today (a decent doctor for once). She gave me an explanation about all this and I was gonna explain it....but you already did :D

It's exactly like you said....there is a big difference between IgA reactions and IgG reactions. The ELISA test that I took was for IgG antibodies. ;)

antigliadin and anti tissue transglutaminase are the ones that enterolab tests for at least with the gluten and then the others it say anti-casein iga or anti-ovulbumin(which is for egg white) So waht does that mean. so are these the inlorance antibodies? are they worse than the others or not. Still confused.

From what I understand....they are worse than the IgG antibodies I was talking about...which are usually temporary and the foods can be reintroduced after healing. I think with IgA intolerances...the problem may always be there....the same as gluten. Glueten intolerance is stronger because of the gentic factor involved. This is how my doc explained it.

antigliandin antibodies come in both IgA and IgG "flavors". if I recall correctly, the tTg test is also checking on an IgG antibody. (IgA and IgG are the "classes" of antibody, while anti-gliandin, tissue transglutimerase, anti-reticulin, and so forth are specific "models")

Rachel - I don't know how I know all this stuff, just soak it up, I guess. I was uncertain when I was typing my response so I'm happy to learn that I got it right.

You'll find you know more than your docs and nutritionists in no time, trust me. Pretty funny, we should all be doctors by default!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
