I don't recall that it did. But if you look at the post in this thread that I made at 1:15 pm today, it appears that I didn't have an allergic reaction (based on my CBC granulocyte counts). I must be producing IgA antibodies to peanuts, suggesting that I may have had an ordinary MC reaction to a food.DebE13 wrote:Glad you are back on your feet! Very interesting situation. Did you show to be more likely to develop a peanut allergy on your 23andme testing?

Hang in there, dear Tex,
I have finally determined that the gastro nurse was correct and that I was incorrect. I shall call her in the AM to request the entocort rx that she felt I needed.
GRR!!!

Hi Tex,
You think about testing for soy.
Is it not possible to do the test yourself, like in the elimination diet?
That is how I discovered I am sensitive for soy.
Of course you know how to do it, but for sure or somebody else.
First thing in the morning you take pure soy and nothing else for two hours. I had this from the forum.
I took the salted soy (1/4 cub sojabeans), you can buy in a little package,used as a snack.
I had an immediate reaction: after 1/2 hour: gurgles in my belly, 1/2 hour later shivery, light headache and after 4 hours I noted that the bellypain became worse and worse. It took more than 24 hours before it was all gone. Very strange, but I had no D!
I hope you recover and find out quickly, it looks like we all have this artritisproblems.

Hi Sonja,
I have always avoided most significant sources of soy, so the only sources of soy in my diet are the tiny amounts in vitamins and other supplements. Because of that, I'm a little concerned about doing a soy challenge, because if I am sensitive to soy, then a significant amount of it might cause my digestive system to shut down again (similar to what happened because of the peanuts). Obviously I would like to prevent that from happening, if possible, so I'll probably just order a test from EnteroLab.
I want to test for gluten and casein antibodies anyway, to see if I am having the same continued high level of antibody production that Linda's test results showed. But if it were not for the risk of my digestive system stopping again, I certainly might just do a soy challenge to see how I reacted.
I appreciate you sharing your experiences and your suggestions.

Hi Tex,
Just after I posted, I realized just the same!
Certainly saver and healthier your way!
Sonja
PS
I'm also searching at the moment. I managed a few days ago to buy all my food supplements with labels with say: without gluten, without, soy, without milk, etc.
I discovered last week that some of my food supplements had soy, while I thought they hadn't.
It's hidden in a lot of things and unless its written on the label that is without, you can't be sure.

Sonja,
And in this country at least, some foods (and vitamins for that matter) have vitamin E (tocopherol) added, and while it can be made from other sources, most of it seems to be made from soy.

Oh my Tex, I kinda wondered if something was amiss with you for a few days there. You are usually not that quiet on here. I am so glad you made it thru that episode. I hate those chills and sweats one gets when the body is compromised in some way. First thing I think of is food poisoning!
Thank goodness you are feeling better.

Tex,
So glad everything turned out okay! I just got on here today to check on everyone, been off for a few days. I hated to hear about your ER visit. I will be anxiously awaiting your results from the lab. I was so hoping remission would stop one from acquiring additional food intolerances. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us posted!

Thanks Erica and Martha,
I ordered a test kit this morning for the combination of gluten, casein, soy, and eggs, because it was $30 cheaper than ordering just the gluten, casein, and soy tests individually. So in a few weeks I should have the results.

Hi Tex,
My two older daughters were tested in April and it took about 8 or 9 days for the Enterolab results to come in. They have been glutenfree since. At the time, my youngest daughter did not want to get tested. I totally respected that. I think she just needed more time to come to terms with all the new food sensitivities hitting our family. To my surprise, my youngest daughter asked me a few weeks ago to also be tested (she was getting tired of diarrhea and stomachaches). I ordered the test kit from Enterolab. Once Enterolab received it back it only took 6 days for the results to come in!!
Unfortunately, like her sisters, my youngest daughter tested positive for gluten, dairy, and eggs. Her sisters had also tested positive for soy, she tested borderline for soy (10).
She is now also glutenfree. I feel bad for my daughters and guilty because it is obviously from my side. I do hope that going glutenfree is enough for them and that they won't develop MC.
I wonder, though, what happened that all three daughters and I came down with symptoms the same year (ages 45, 18, 16, 15)???
Love,
Patricia

Patricia,
That's definitely quite a coincidence that you all developed symptoms in the same year.
Please don't feel badly about passing a celiac gene on to your daughters. That's a minor concession in comparison with all of the wonderful benefits that you have given them. To begin with, you have given them a head start by making them aware of the risks of gluten sensitivity, so that they can prevent the problem from damaging their health in the future. None of us had that benefit when we were growing up. That makes you a SuperMom.
Love,
Tex
