IgG Food Intolerance Testing

[Suzan]

I just thought I would let you all know I tested my girls for IgG reactions to foods. I got the results back today. I already knew they had high IgG reaction to wheat and wheat gluten. In addition,

 

dd9 - High on Flax and every kind of dairy including casein except Moderate on Goats Cheese. Also Moderate on Wheat and Wheat Gluten and Yeast (I assume that is Moderate since she's not eating much of it).

 

dd7 - High on most dairy including casein. Also high on Cashews & Flax. Moderate on Lemon, Goats Milk Cheese, Whey and Pistachios.

 

So Dairy is going to be out again. We did it before so I know we can do it again but I hate being gluten and casein free. dd7 loves cashews and pistachios. They are the only nuts she will eat right now.

 

They took it pretty well at this point. We'll see once we get all the dairy out of the house. My goal in this testing was to try to remove as many immune triggers as I could.

 

I am moving forward with lyme testing for dd9. Hopefully will get Igenex test and to see our closest ilad doc within a month.

Suzan, do you think that the food intolerance will go away once the PANDAS/lyme treatment has resolved things? I'm hoping that the yeast problems will, but I don't have any particular reason for thinking that they might.

I don't know, that is an interesting thought! I hope so!

Interesting that you brought this up. I'm taking ds to get tested this Thursday. I was going to just start the Specific Carbohydrate Diet but I figured it makes more sense to test now and figure out exactly what he may be allergic to. I think you are right in trying to remove as much stress as possible on the immune system. I have high hopes that the diet will help, especially since he always seems to have something going with his bowels.
