  1. My DD also has a severe soy allergy, I noticed the same with apples with peels. We reverted to natural applesauce or peeling the apples (sadly removes a lot of the vitamins) . I don't have any suggestions though, we are newly navigating the soy allergen issue. she's still reacting at least twice a week to unknown triggers (soy or something else.)
  2. Skin testing of suspected allergens was a bust yesterday. Nothing, not even soy showed up positive despite the RAST test and marked improvement since its elimination. The allergist was apologetic and explained that while she may not have an IgE reaction or response, she obviously is having a gastro response to soy and other stuff. She agreed that the...
  3. ABSOLUTELY! If we are sedating her at all, I want to address as many things as possible in one swoop.
  4. Small update.... We met with the gastro on Friday, who is now bringing the scope on the table sooner than later in response to the allergist's plan. We have allergy skin testing on Wednesday of this week to determine any other major allergen issues. I am to call the gastro's office with the findings or to prompt them to obtain the results from the...
  5. And I'm fully aware that I'm now more on an allergy quest than a celiac one if necessary, but honestly I haven't found another forum that is similar enough since her issues are prominently gastro related. Just being clear that I am fully aware that celiac is not an allergy. I do know that I have a refluxy,ezcema laden kiddo who vomits regularly and...
  6. Met with the allergist yesterday...and honestly I'm not optimistic to answers. That or I'm just frustrated. We discussed her history and reaction patterns, I gave her the detailed food logs for the last three incidents, all of which were soy-free days. Before we got to that she explained that soy is typically a minor allergy that kids do grow out of...
  7. Tomorrow is our allergist/immunologist meeting (finally!) and hopefully we will come back with some plan of action. Either additional testing or an action plan to manage her confirmed soy allergy. She is still randomly reacting to something though, sh had a bad reaction on Sunday to something I cannot pinpoint. I wrote her food log out before I forgot...
  8. I'm still learning myself but from what I've learned: IgA -- control numbers, nothing indicative other than the fact you do create enough antibodies to allow the further testing. IgG -- indicative of long term or chronic infections -- while you are on the high end, it is within normal range? IgM -- (this I haven't seen too often on this board) is related...
  9. I'm new to this as well, but I do recognize that the first exam, the one that is high is actually your control. That IgA indicates you have enough antibodies to allow the following tests to be run. That is not indicative of celiac in of itself. The following tests all show you currently in a 'negative' for celiac disease. That is not to say you don...
  10. Thank you everyone, I have days where I wonder if I'm barking up the wrong tree with all of this. Vomit free since Sunday, but I think she's still nauseous, she holds her belly when she's sitting on the couch and rubs it. Nominal appetite still. Poop report from school for yesterday was a solid, but still pale yellow. I had never made a note of...
  11. I'm fairly confident that the allergist/immunologist will, like several board members here, suggest a trial period of gluten-free to see if we find any improvements. While this is good, it will be difficult. My little one goes to daycare, no way around that. I've confirmed with our location that she is the only Soy Free kid, we have several nut allergy...
  12. Right? I currently 800mg of B, so I was really surprised with how low it was. but according to the 'range' I'm normal, so the doc didn't see it. I left a message with the nurse to check on the VitD, thinking that it had been ordered. If not, I need it if anything for a baseline. for whatever it is that I am plagued with, since its not celiac as in...
  13. Rough weekend again. Little one has started up her random vomitting again. Friday to the point of having to be picked up from school. Severe liquid diarrhea throughout the weekend. Nominal appetite all weekend. Vomit on Sunday evening of water. Adding insult to injury, I'm having my random nausea day again already. mysterious hives on my abdomen...
  14. Real quick....got my results in hand, as expected for myself with no answers. *I knew going in so suddenly that my results would be skewed due to my prolonged use of supplements and being gluten-lite for almost a full year. The 'celiac panel' was passed with flying colors. Gliadin IgA 3.96 (0-15) Gliadin IgG 2.68 (0-15) Ttg IgA 1.25 (0-15) Ttg IgG...
  15. Not celiac or gluten related, but it sounds very similar to my reactions to bagged salads. I have chalked it up to it being the preservative they use to maintain freshness inside the bags that I react so strongly to. I can chop a head of lettuce or use romaine leaves/spring mixes or what not without any problems. But the bagged 'fresh express' or...
