    Does anyone know if Olay Pro-x is gluten-free? I just bought some yesterday, and this morning woke up with my typical symptoms of being glutened. I can't think of anything I ate yesterday that could have caused this, so I thought maybe it was the pro-x. Anyone had similar experiences with pro-x? I already emailed the company, but I wanted to see what all...

    I went to an allergist when I was trying to figure out what was causing my symptoms (later figured out I had Celiac). They did a blood test called the RAST, which tests for the most common IgE allergies (these are immediate reactions). Common signs of IgE reactions are itching and immediate swelling. The panel they tested me for was the same as yours, which...

    I was just wondering how long it took for your swelling to go away (for those of you who have swelling as a symptom of Celiac). Do any of you experience waking up with swelling (face, ankles, hands, etc) after ingesting gluten? Just curious if I was the only one out there. (Blood pressure, weight, thyroid, lupus test, kidney and liver function all...

    Thank you all for your responses. You have definitely put things in perspective. I have been gluten-free for only a couple of months now (I have Celiac as does my father). I took the test because one of my symptoms is significant swelling of my fingers/face/eyelids in the morning, which I can't stand. That is the only symptom that has not gone away completely...

    I got my results from an IgG Elisa food intolerance test I did recently. I wrote on another forum topic that I received the test from Optimum Health Laboratories, and who knows how valid they are. Basically, it says that in addition to gluten, my "high" reaction items are whey, milk, almonds, and kidney beans. My "moderate" reaction food is eggs. How...

    My symptoms were GI upset (painful bloating, tons of gas, frequent D), nausea and occasional vomiting, swelling of my face/eyelids/hands in morning, daily headaches, high anxiety after meals (I was pleasantly surprised when that went away), anemia (leading to Restless Legs Syndrome). I only recently went gluten-free but almost all of these symptoms are completely...

    I am also newly diagnosed and, yes, I have dealt with my friends and a couple of family members who have made light of the situation. It hurts a bit when it comes from family members. I am in college, which makes eating gluten-free extremely difficult, especially when my friends have seen me eat gluten a million times in the past. They don't understand why...

    Thank you both for your help! I called Optimum Health, and did actually speak to someone. I expressed my concerns about the reviews/possibility of them being a fraudulent company and the individual I spoke with claimed that was not the case (I am still not convinced though). They told me the date they received the specimen and emailed me confirmation and...

    Also, if it turns out no one had a good experience with Optimum Health Resource Labs, can anyone tell me about the process with getting a blood sample for a food intolerance test and a reputable company they recommend. If my fiance is a nurse, can he just do the blood draw, or does it have to be from a doctor's office? Thanks!

    I bought the ELISA 96 food panel about a month ago from Optimum Health Labs. I have read on this forum that many people feel it is a scam (after I ordered it of course). I am so upset because I am a college student and had to save for awhile to even afford the test. Has anyone ever received any RESULTS???????? Ever??????? :-(

    Hi- I am 26 years old, and finally was diagnosed with Celiac in April. Prior to my Celiac diagnosis, my doctors tested me for inflammatory diseases and I found out I am HLA B27 positive, which predisposed me to Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). I am a physical therapy student, so I have learned a lot about AS and I am honestly frightened to have it develop...

    Vicky, I eat those foods all of the time! Its amazing, I went to see a million doctors about swelling, joint pain, GI upset, insomnia, and anxiety (and I am only in my 20's!) and I was literally put on a med for each but given no suggestions about how to deal with the underlying issues. I feel like people on this forum are more knowledgeable than the doctors...

    I found out I have Celiac this past April. I go through a week or so where all of my symptoms go away and I feel happy and great. Then, CC happens and I feel horrible all over again. Maybe it isnt CC, maybe I am intolerant to a million other things. One of my symptoms is sever facial and finger swelling in the morning. Its been gradually going away. Today...
