Allergy Testing

I have been gluten free for 8 months to control my migraines and acid reflux. I cut out the wheat/gluten when my migraines where a daily occurrence. Amazingly the acid reflux went away also! I still need meds to control the migraines. My family thinks I should see an Allergist. Allergies run in my family. I was talking with my cousins this weekend and two have had allergy testing done and one was allergic to 9 the other was allergic to 60.

My fear with the allergy testing is a major migraine/reflux. Even with my meds and gluten free, if I accidentally eat gluten I will have migraine/reflux for 3 to7 days.

Generally, it is a skin test. They measure whether or not you'll get a hival reaction. I believe there is a blood test as well.

I have majore issues with tomatos. It only gave me a massive hive, but not any of my usual reactions.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
