And now we have DD's results...couple questions..esp wheat-related

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
We got DD2's results today. Naturally, they are different foods than DS's. She came up reactive to wheat, wheat gluten, gliadin, orange, yogurt, and brewer's yeast. All of these came up as "low" on the IgG scale. I already know she has major behavioral issues with soy so we had already eliminated that before the testing.

I don't recall any major difference for her having gluten or not. Now, it says "wheat gluten," so is this different from general gluten? And why yogurt but not other dairy? Yogurt is actually one of the few things she loves to eat. The yeast I've already eliminated because of DS.

She has had cradle cap since she was a baby, but that has mostly cleared up since removing soy from her diet. Soy also made her a complete nutjob, uncontrollable anger and tantrums. She has never been a good sleeper, much like DS. Ok that's not a complete truth, she was a decent sleeper up until about 9 months old, but has never slept the night. She stirs constantly now, nurses a lot at night, and has dreams where she talks out loud and night terrors. She does however like to sleep, and asks to go to bed when she is tired, etc. As a baby, I was sure she was reacting to foods, as she got a couple random raised rashes as a result of what seemed to be canteloupe and strawberries, but could have been something else. I did not try to give her food again until she was older (first try was around 6 months or so).

I have already started her on probiotics this week (Udi's infant). I'd love to have a less volatile child who sleeps.

No one? LOL. The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking the whole yogurt thing has to be a false positive. It just doesn't make sense to me? Wheat sounds right, though, since all 3 components of it showed up as a problem. What does everyone think about the results all being 'Low'?

ok so just throwing it out there. Is it possible that yogurt is a different protein and that's what she is reacting to rather than dairy itself? Like I know before DS I couldn't drink any milk, but I could eat cheese all day (stomach ache reaction)

I've never heard it specified as wheat gluten, just gluten, but I guess there could be different kinds.

Them all coming up as low....Well I can tell you what my allergic doc told me. Most people can deal with small amounts of allergens, but its like a cup the more small amounts put in at a certain time the more likely the cup will over flow.

This was why when I was on a gluten diet I couldn't be around cats, but I do ok now. SO lots of low equals a higher reaction?
