My son was treated with diflucan (for yeast) and this helped a lot.

They all came back negative except for the IgG one which I was told means it was inconclusive or negative however you want to look at it. My son was gluten lite when he took it and those #'s were high then I put in on a high gluten diet and those same #'s were still high. He has a ton of GI symtoms so we were told and decided to challenge him on the gluten...

I just noticed your description of your genes and wondered if you could help me out here. Prometheus listed my son's gene/s as DQB1 06 (DQ6). How do I read that? He that double. Is that the same as 0106? Does that mean he is a double DQ1? Are these genes associated with anything? Thank you so much. I cant' figure out how to read this thing to...

I grind flax seed in a small grinder (for spices) and put a jar of it in the freezer. I take one tablespoon/day for a while, as long as needed and it works wonders. I started using that because I couldn't tolerate psyllium husk. It actually tastes ok, too, especially with soy milk or other milk or in yogurt.

What is the test for casein intolerance? Thanks!

sounds like vaginitis, probably of the yeast infection type. The gluten filled diet is yeast encouraging.

My son's results from Prometheus for the gene test read as follows: HLA-DQB1 06(DQ6) HLA-DQBQ - (DQ-) the - indicates homozygosity or unidentified allele. How do I read this? Is he a double DQ1? Or is he a 0106? Or is he a DQ6? What is homozygosity? And are these genes indicative of anything in particular? Thank you so much for your...

That's interesting that you should say so, because he is actually a double DQ1. When I happened upon celiac as a potential diagnosis, I was actually excited (I hope that doesn't sound too terrible). But there is this family history of extreme IBS, and accompanying neurological stuff. I thought I had solved so many mysteries, why those relatives became...

My 4yo son on gluten responds as if he has Aspergers while on gluten. He does not respond when spoken to, has a high level of anxiety, misinterprets social cues, and has extreme sensory issues (screams when he takes a shower, when you brush his teeth, etc. Wears a hat, gloves, and footy pajamas in order to be completely covered ). He also loses his skills...

My son is double DQB1 (only one was identified, it was 06). Let me know if you learn anything more about double DQ1! My son has classic celiac symptoms including heavy on the neurological symptoms, but I've been told since he doesn't have DQ2 and DQ8 that he doesn't have celiac. I think there is some debate on this, but I'm unclear on it...

My son does not like the rice milk or the almond milk, but he does like Hemp milk, especially the vanilla. I've also heard about potato based dari free milks. Finally, some people drink coconut milk, and I hear it's best fresh from the coconut. From experience, I know the canned varieties -- some are more subtle and some tastes stronger (like suntan lotion...

I can only share my experience with my 4yo -- when he eats gluten, he gets many sensory integration issues including OCD. He is 4 so I'm assuming the manifestations are a bit different for him than adults, but even his teacher who has seen him on and off gluten has reported as such (and I've intentionally not reported when he's been on/off so as to get a...

So sorry you were ill.. for whatever it's worth, my 4yo has a lot of allergies but the only time his poop turns that flourescent yellow is when he's been glutened (including oats). I guess it's a good indicator which I should appreciate in a weird sort of way.... Easier than just fixating on the behavioral signs.

My son (4yo) had what were either seizures or severe migraines last spring. He has the classic symptoms of celiac, and when we took him off gluten the effect was remarkable. Beyond belief. We've tried a gluten challenge 2 more times with obvious results. Here is the kicker, though, his blood panel came up negative (he was already off gluten then so that...
