I was very please w the results of my tests and I've seen other people on other lists who also were pleased. If you look around their website enough, they've...
Cara, I have had the blood test for celiac. it was negative, but I haven't had the biopsy done.. it's a very small chance that's it, so I don't want to go thru...
Cara, Just a thought, but you don't have to have the whole celiac panel come back positive for you to be gluten or gliadin intolerant. My daughter and I are ...
I actually was taken off of wheat and milk as an infant, and labeled 'allergic', and put back on them a few months later. Those were the first foods I quit,...
If somebody triyed GlutenEase and V Geast from Enzimatica to help digest gluten, casein and grains? I am actually intoletant to gliadin and whey but I hope it...

It's my understanding that the severe list is usually things that we eat daily. Oftentimes foods with a severe reaction are things that we crave. Cyndie Lamb ...

I haven't taken the ALCAT yet because I haven't convinced my doctor of its benefits. The allergist actually told me that the ALCAT is exactly the same thing as...
Well, I did pay for the test myself because at the time I was at my wit's end.You are right the test is extremely expensive. My test was in excess of $500.00....

I guess I'm fortunate that my symptoms seem to be limited to sinus problems, although I believe that my weight, high blood pressure, and diabetes are at the...
Hi everyone, In addition to the long list I sent in last night, I also need to be careful with wheat and oats because of gliadin. Gluten is apparently not an...
I find it interesting that some of the foods on my "severe" list are not foods I really eat every day although a few of them are. It's also funny that saffron...
I was fortunate enough to be able to get the comprehensive panel, but it was only by God's grace that it worked out that way because I never could have...
Well I am a vegetable eater. On my moderate list are all the vegetables that I consume on a regular basis such as broccolli, spinanch, cabbage, etc. There are...

Fortunately, I can have cabbage and a number of other vegetables. However, I love garlic and mushrooms which are severe and broccoli and cauliflower which I...
I have been rotating items on my mild list and leaving my severe and moderate list items alone for now. I am still not sure about some items. I will probably...

Celiac.com has a store that sells gluten-free stuff, and a very active forum of celiacs and gluten-intolerant folks with lots of ideas. I've been gluten free...
After taking the alcat test and a regular allergy test for foods also, I am currently only eating 25 foods (and that's up from 19). I couldn't handle rotating...
Thanks, Tammie. Do you have a lot of items on your mild list? If so, do you try to limit how many of those foods you eat in any given day? It will be...
Wow, Cara! Whe there that many foods that you were sensitive noo, or was it that you just found rotating to be overwhelming? I'm encouraged to hear that your...
Rice is on my moderate list. The only grains I am eating are corn and millet right now, and I'm not entirely sure about the millet. Cara Ziegel Richmond, VA...
Cara, have you tried some of the other grains that alcat doesn't test for like quinoa and amaranth? I've wondered how I will do with some of the things I...
I'm trying to be patient and add foods every 4 days. I'm not always that patient. But I've seen reactions to SO many things! I started on foods that were...
I have lots of nuts and fruits on my mild list which is not my best choices due to diabetes. Things on my mild list are things that I do not usually eat so it...
