OT, sort of: IgG RAST results

[Guest guest]

Has anyone here had RAST done, IgE as well as IgG??? has been

diagnosed with eosinophilic esopagitis and colitis (EE and EC). Our

GI did some RAST, but in that he checked IgG and IgG4 levels on some

foods (as well as IgE to more foods). If I go by what the IgG

levels are, there are afew more things that should be removed from

's diet, as they look REALLY high.

I am certain now that we have a cause for 's belly pain--and

it's NOT just constipation that needs more fiber and water to

correct (stupid GI #1!). It's the EC, and I do know peanut butter

is one trigger. I just heard today about his latest round of RAST,

and it ALL came back not in his favor. Please pray that he does not

have to go to elemental formula only to let his gut heal. I am

hoping the elimination diet will do the trick, but I will not hold

my breath.

If anyone has heard about the IgG results from RAST, I'd like your

opinion. It is my understanding that it shows a more dleayed

reaction to food. However, there isn't much solid evidence about it.

Thanks!
