Igg Tests Back

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.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
