    Hi Mel, My son is IgA deficient. He had a positive IgG. I think about 115, over 20 being positive. I e-mailed Dr. Fine of Enterolab. He emailed me back and said that high serum IgG is a diagnostic of gluten sensitivity. He said his symptoms warranted a gluten free diet now. He also said sometimes IgA will be in stool but not blood but usually not...

    Hi, I like to use Orgran all purpose crumbs for breading chicken cutlets or eggplant. I buy it at Fairway and I also buy it online. I love these bread crumbs! Lisa

    Happycat replied to YankeeDB's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi, My son (19) was diagnosed with a benign essential hand tremmor about 5 years ago. He is gluten intolerant. He is on the gluten-free diet now (3 months) and I wonder if they have gotten better. I will ask him when I see him (he is never home..LOL) Lisa

    Hi Jen, My son is 19 and suffered for about 5 years with nausea, vomiting, heartburn and very bad gas (burping constantly!!!). He is Iga deficient (10 percent of celiacs are) and his IgG was positive at 115 (over 20 is positive). He was sent from doctor to doctor and had a negative biopsy in July and many other tests. He does have severe damage to...

    ARCHIVED Nausea

    Altoids (Peppermint) always make me feel better. My kids too. I hope you feel better soon! Lisa

    If you feel better when you are gluten free then I would stay gluten free. Sometimes the biopsy will be negative but your positive bloodwork probably means you are gluten sensitive. If you are gluten sensitive you need to remain on a gluten free diet. My son has many of the same symptoms you have. He is IgA deficient and has a positive IgG. He too...

    I just bought the brownies from health food store. They were from Foods by George. They were absolutely delicious! They are wheat free, gluten free, casein free, lactose free, dairy free. It is amazing how good they are and no chemicals either!! (a bit pricey though $6.39 for a small tray) Good for special occasions or just to spoil yourself or your...

    ARCHIVED Misdiagnosis

    Happycat replied to Jyvett's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Hi, I am also suffering from chronic hives right now. I have had them about 10 weeks. I've been to 2 internists and 2 allergists. If your sister's doctor said it's hives then she probably has hives. Has your sister been to allergist? They can work with the antihistamines to get the right combo of drugs for her. They did for me, well to keep me comfortable...

    Hi Everyone, I just wanted to share.. I bought Orgran Wheat free/ gluten free all purpose crumbs and was very surprised how good they are. I bought gluten-free bread crumbs a few times and they were awful. I am so glad I found this brand. I can actually enjoy chicken cutlets as much as I used too!! Lisa

    Dear Barbara, I e-mailed you the other day but I don't think you got it. I received my son's test from enterolab yesterday and did the mouth swab. I don't think we have anything to send yet in the other department. What I want to know is if you know how long can I freeze his sample for before I send it. Tomorrow is wednesday and they said it should...

    Hi Tina, We do the best we can for our kids and I know you feel bad about not knowing what was making your son sick but it's not your fault so don't beat yourself up over it. Now that you know he will get better! And isn't it good to know that a diet change not medicine will make him better. Take care, Lisa

    Thank you so much, I feel better now. Dr. Fine did not e-mail me back yet but I really would like to order the test this week. Thanks, Lisa
