Igg Tests Back


Littllemel

I am not confirmed Celiac but went gluten free due to a Endoscopy that showed lower intestine damage. 2 Biopsies taken came back negative.

I have been gluten free since 3/2/12 and then started having all sorts of food intolerance issues. I stopped all corn/soy/yeast/dairy/avacados etc and I keep a diary. I have nothing processed. I am down to veggies, fruits and meats in their simple forms. I get poisoned at least every 3 days. I was on a rotation diet but I was getting burned left and right so I stopped and just started eating some safe foods but I still got burned on Tuesday of this week. Yesterday I got my IgG test back and I am sensitive to almonds, eggs, bananas and cranberries but no gluten/wheats. I had stopped eggs and almonds 2 weeks ago but I was having a bit of cranberries and bananas up until yesterday. Today I have not had any, i behaved all day. The only thing that bothered me today are fats. If I don't eat them I get terrible and unbearable pains in my back. So I have been drinking little bits of EVOO here and there with food today to add it back into my diet a bit but my stomach burns when I do it.

I am so terrified of getting sick again. My major symptom is dehydration as soon as I fall asleep, it's like I dry up like a raisin immediately and my kidneys hurt from it so bad. It's like every organ inside me dries up and I can feel it and I get very sore on the inside for days and then I get burned again and its just a nightmare over and over again. Of course this causes insomnia, anxiety and night sweats with cold and hot flashes. I fear I can't live through much more of this. I am down to 100lbs and steadily dropping because I am afraid to eat.

A urine test a week ago confirmed blood in my urine but they thought it was a kidney infection and sent a culture out to the lab that came back negative so that was the end of that. I saw my new GI tuesday and she also noticed blood in my urine. She took 6 viles of blood for more celiac, IgG tests and liver tests. I have a HIDA scan scheduled tomorrow if I can stay unsick until then. I wonder if the radioactive dye will make me sick...

I am also nervous that the EVOO burning may cause me to get sick but I won't really know until I fall asleep tonight. (wierd huh?) I saw my ND yesterday and I was so sick but she made me this remedy that has really helped with my symptoms this time around but its made from arsenic and I am not sure I want to keep going to her and paying for poison to treat my problems. I would have to pay $70 for each dose from her as well.

My question is... Do you think just stopping the cranberries and bananas will stop me from reacting? Or am I doomed? I still rotate my dinners and lunches but I stick to safe similar foods during the morning and snack times because of advise from my ND. Is that bad? Almost every thing i eat is on the IgG test and shows as a safe food.

If my gallbladder is bad and they remove it, will my weird intolerance symptoms change?

I almost hate to ask because I'm sure you've posted before... have you looked into salicylates, amines, histamines - those types of intolerances? You seem to be reacting in an unpredictable pattern, to many foods - and sometimes those types of intolerances are the underlying issues.

How can I test for those?

As far as I know, by food diary and elimination.

Here's a link about histamines/amines. I know there's better info about it, just not sure where. Open Original Shared Link

Here's one about salicylates. Again, I know there's more and better-search the board you should find plenty. Open Original Shared Link

I have no clue but I see no need to eat cranberries or bananas. If you think they are causing a problem then stop eating them.

If you do have gallbladder trouble then eating fats will make it worse.

I would drop the arsenic supplement and consider replacing with a soothing (lower-risk) herbal tea. Milk thistle, ginger root, pau d'arco, dandelion root and goldenseal are just a few that are said to have digestive system benefits. Milk thistle is said to be good for reducing liver and gall bladder congestion so that might one to check out first. Some have potential side effects and rx medication interactions so you may want to read up before you try. Good luck.

      Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with another poster.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
