    Yep I know that feeling. And I have a feeling yours might be caused by hidden food allergies as that is often an allergic response. Many gluten intolerant or allergic people probably have it prior to going gluten-free. Those that have it after going gluten-free probably also have something else causing problems, either caused by their eating gluten for...

    Yeah I know how that goes. I always think about asking about things just as I'm about to do them and totally forget when I have a moment in advance. Laundry was one of the first places I went totally corn-free as it was less hassle than some others. Such as cosmetics, bath soaps, shampoos. I couldn't believe how much it helped. I didn't realize how...

    I have horrible reactions to Bounce, even the dye-free one. I used to use Downy, but I stopped those as well. I currently don't use any fabric softener as I discovered that I really don't need it. If you go to the delphi site and ask, others may be able to answer you on what they use.

    As an avid corn avoider, I can tell you that no facial tissues are safe, except Scott's brand. Corn is nearly impossible to avoid. I saw that you'd found the Corn Avoider's side of visinac, but there is also a discussion forum with a lot of really knowledgable people. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link And a new research blog...

    How long have you been eating gluten-free? And how strict about it have you been? Brain Fog can be cause by many things - including food allergies. Which since you've had problems with gluten then most likely you also have some kind of food allergy/intolerance as well (usually as a side effect of the gluten). It does sound like you're going through...

    I think a lot of doctors do require some sort of "proof" aka a medically valid diagnosis (aka from a lab they respect and a liscenced MD) before they'll take a patients "word" for it. Which is why I spent an entire year trying to "prove" that I was indeed allergic to corn. It is very possible to be "fat" and celiac. Just because you've got malabsorbtion...

    An ELISA test is a food allergy/intolerance test which unlike regular scratch tests or the RAST allery test, this test examines IgG reactions (delayed reactions) to foods. Depending on what type of ELISA test from which Laboratory, it can also test for IgE reactions as well. See Immunolabs or York laboratories. I also saw a lab called Sage labs that claims...

    I'm not a big believer in IBS as a diagnosis. Unless you take it to stand for "Its BS" or "I have no idea, so lets put a syndrome on it" From personal experience, I think IBS is a bunch of symptoms which can be caused by many things, one of which is Celiac disease. You could also have food intolerances. After 12 yrs of having "IBS", then one day having...

    Well with the genes he has, I'd try to get him on a gluten-free diet for a while just to see if it helps. Otherwise, I'd start looking at other autoimmune disorders. From my research (dont ask me to quote sites, cuz I've read like 100 in the last 3 days so they all blend together) Celiac disease is linked to other autoimmune diseases such as Diabetes type...

    If you haven't been to Open Original Shared Link I would recommend it. Its a very good discussion site for people with corn allergies or intolerances. I'd be in a world of hurt if it wasn't for finding that site little over a year ago. Organic produce is the way to go, but some of the fruits do still have coatings. I know one of the women on the...

    Julie, I've been reading this thread and if going gluten-free hasn't been helping with the rest of these issues, then I'd start looking for other solutions. Of the foods you're avoiding.. I'd have to say that corn is the most difficult one to make certain that you're completely avoiding it. There is a group on Delphi called Avoiding Corn that has some...

    My question wasn't about antigliadin IgA.. but about not having any gliandin antibody (IgG or IgA) but still having an abnormally high IgA serum. Is this still indicative of gluten intolerance? or something else? With this test results has anyone had benefit from a gluten-free diet?
  13. Simply-V
    I also had a similar result of a high IgA but normal everything else. TTG antibody IgA <3 (negative <5) Gliandin Antibody IGG <3 (negative <11) Gliandin Antibody IGA 3 (negative <11) IgA 621 high (Range 81-463) My doctor is trying to tell me that it means I'm gluten intolerant, but I don't see any information anywhere to support that...
