Open Original Shared Link They offer IgG and IgE Elisa food allergy testing. Thought that was cool because food allergies are not only mediated by IgG that york tests for.

I think the sensitivity MAY be gone and not should be gone. It depends on the immune response mounted. Antibodies do cross react so maybe there is some cross reaction going on so your husband has some antibodies that are reacting to their lentil antigen? Just a thought. They use IgG Elisas to test food allergies in animals all the time. It is standard...

They may also be due to a zinc deficiency. Mine are and have to take zinc daily or else I get them.

Deb, the life of antibodies vary a lot. Some viral and bacterial diseases we are immune to for the rest of our lives and others we are not. I know they (especially viruses) change rapidly so we have to get yearly vaccines for some and not others, but in general how long antibodies stay around in your body varies a lot so these antibodies could show up for...

Thank you all for the responses. I really just think I'm frustrated. I was all ready to test positive for wheat but not ready to test positive for milk and veggies. I thought yeast may have been the culprit but wheat allergies are more common so I thought that is what it would be. So I was all ready to deal with a wheat allergy but not I have different...

Thanks Judy, Actually my itch due to soy is delayed by a day or 2 so I'm confused. I will have to review my immuno again.

I still think my allergy results are bogus. They don't make sense at all. I eat eggs, milk, spinach, onions a lot and almost on a daily basis. I eliminated dairy before and it didn't help my gi symptoms. They only improved when I eliminated wheat. I've just never seen an allergy profile with 4 veggies on it. They aren't common allergies and I think...

So I tested positive for Onions the most, and then 1+ for: string beans cow's milk (what should I drink if I'm allergic to cow's milk and soy (altough york didn't find that?!) and need to follow a low glycemic index diet?) spinach millet (what is millet?) yeast I should rotate lettuce and egg whites So I guess most of my gi problems associated...

Hi, I got my test results today. I'm a little confused by them but thought I would let you know I got them. I think it took 4 to 5 weeks.

I mailed mine 3 weeks ago and hope to hear soon (expecting to wait 4-6 weeks). Do you think I should contact them after 8 weeks. Glad you heard.

I went there this weekend and they told us after a half hour of waiting that they were out of most fish and only had shrimp and lobster. I won't go there again.

Hey Kandee, I got my kit from York and it took like 1.5 weeks to get here. It wasn't hard to do and I sent it off. I hope I hear from them soon. Just wanted to let you know no problems so far. What is IgE RAST? melanie

I think I found out somewhere that Great Smokie labs charged $525. I don't think I found it on the webpage, I think someone else said it was that much on another message board. They are a well repected lab. I would have went with them if I had the extra money. The next most reliable and accepted seems to be York labs. I just ordered my test from them...

Ok, it is Great Smokie Labs: Open Original Shared Link They were recommended by a lady with Celiac here. It took her a while to get dxed and they sent her blood samples there.
