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!

      Help needed

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Thankyou so much for your reply I decided to skip the senna has I've already had very loose stools last few days I've cut my portions down on the low fiber diet too and drinking lots of liquid has I just thought it would be wise to listen to myself too I've probably already done wat the senna would of done myself naturally by drinking clear apple juice which if not on the diet I would have to avoid anyways has I don't tolerate many fruit juices so I'm sure I've done the right thing I did try to contact the department on my letter but weirdly enough it was ringing but then after a while saying wrong number 🤷 but again I'm positive I've done the right thing I'm going to take today very lightly too with low portions and more liquids so yes thankyou for that advise I am very nervous but I have had time to think and read other peoples experiences and not all are bad there is some good advise and reassuring information from people who do these all the time so I'm trying my best to be positive so I can at least settle my mind knowing im doing this to help my own health has this year has been a rollercoaster for me cutting out gluten and lactose was a good idea but I still get flare ups and other symptoms so it definitely is worth a check like you said it was the calprotein that prompted the doctor to refer me again thankyou for your reply it's means a lot for someone to take the time to listen and respond and give uplifting advise  especially to me just now has I'm a bundle of nerves inside getting closer to tomorrow prep so thankyou for that 🙏

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi StevieP I think it is best to take GliadinX Just before, during or just after you eat a food that may have a small amount of gluten.  Taking 2 capsules of GliadinX in the morning will not protect you all day because it will be long gone when you need it. The upper digestive system is where the digestive enzymes break down gluten. The problem with Celiacs is that normal digestion will only break down gluten to the point where the small fragments will still cause a reaction. GliadinX will break down the fragments so that they are too small to start the autoimmune reaction.  The label on my bottle reads'it works in the stomach' and that is ver concentrated so 1 capsule is the recomm Hope this helps/Have a lovely cruise.ended dose for each meal.

      It’s completely understandable to feel confused and anxious—colonoscopy prep can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with symptoms like loose stools and elevated inflammation markers (that high calprotectin and CRP definitely warrant further investigation!). Regarding the senna tablets: The warning about avoiding senna with IBD (like Crohn’s or colitis) is typically because it can irritate an already inflamed colon. Since you don’t yet have a confirmed diagnosis—but your brother has colitis—it might be worth calling your gastroenterologist’s office today to clarify if you should skip the senna given your symptoms and family history. Some clinics have an on-call nurse who can advise quickly. For the prep itself: Plenvu is strong, so if your bowels are already loose, the senna might be overkill. Stick to clear liquids tomorrow (broth, apple juice, etc.) and stay near a bathroom! For anxiety, remember the procedure itself is painless (you’ll likely be sedated), and the prep is the hardest part. Bring a phone charger or book to the clinic, and treat yourself afterward to something gentle on your stomach (like mashed potatoes or yogurt). Hang in there—this is a big step toward answers. You’re doing great advocating for yourself!

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Wheat straw dishes are typically made from the stalks of wheat plants (which are naturally gluten-free) combined with a binding resin. While the straw itself shouldn’t contain gluten, the safety depends on how the product is processed. Some manufacturers may use wheat-based binders or process the straw in facilities that handle gluten, creating cross-contact risks. To be safe, I’d recommend reaching out to the company directly to ask: 1) If their wheat straw material is tested to confirm it’s free of gluten proteins, and 2) Whether the production line avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients. Many brands now cater to gluten-free consumers and will provide detailed answers. If you’re uncomfortable with the uncertainty, alternatives like bamboo, ceramic, or glass dishes are inherently gluten-free and worry-free. Always better to double-check—your diligence is totally justified!
