Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 , I also believe that Crataegus and Vitamin E help with Secretory IgA levels and eliminating gluten. Addressing the underlying issues is, of course, not something you need any advice on I would assume. I would call Diagnostechs as tech support may have some tips for you. I know I've seen advice at the end of my ASI reports but can't remember them at this time, besides the usual dealing with adrenal stressors.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Probiotics and Saccromyces boulardi can help, and I’ve heard some claim that EFAs do as well. Stress management (stress incl. intensive exercise, emotional issues…)and allergy avoidance (due to resultant inflammation )are key since both can deplete. Also factors which decrease are estrogen deficiency eg in postmenopause and protein malnutrition. I’d also consider using nutrients to help the health of SI epithelial cells.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 , I've been looking into this as well and have found that 1. Saccromyces increases sIgA 2. L-glutamine is required for the synthesis and expression of sIgA 3. Slippery Elm helps encourage sIgA production by reducing mucosa inflammation 4. Adaptogenic herbs such as Panax, Eleuthrococcus, Withania, Glycyrrhiza with stress management techniques can help to regulate cortisol production thereby reducing the suppression of sIgA (have you run an ASI?) 5. In addition to the adaptogenic herbs, specific vitamin/AA support with the B's, tyrosine, ALA, phosphatidylserine also help to sustain and adaptive response and modulate cortisol release. I've just gotten a lead on beta-glucan having an affect on sIgA but I have researched it yet. A big thing to know is that several microorganisms such as Entamoeba histolytica, Streptococcus sanguis, and Candida albicans externalize a protein-digesting enzyme that " digests " defensive immunoglobulins, including secretory IgA and humoral immunoglobulins. Did she show postive for yeast? If so, it could be a major contributing factor for the low sIgA. Hope this helps, let me know if you want references for any of the above.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hi there - just wondering where Ananda got all that great info! I'd love to read more . . Thanks - Willette From: jblacknd@...Reply-To: To: Subject: Re: Re: A: Increasing sIgADate: Fri, 02 Mar 2007 12:23:20 -0500 What a great answer on sIgA!! I love the fact about candida and other species actually making products that digest immunoglobulins- great! Of course, the yeast must do all they can to survive. It is like a small battle going on down there is people's GI tracts. Isn't it great? Thanks for the answer.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Thanks to everyone for the great info. Interestingly, she was negative for yeast but was positive for several pathogenic bacteria, including 2 types of strep. We've started with HMF Replete and glutamine and are seeing how that goes before we add too much more in. She's a very sensitive patient and hasn't done well in the past with doing too many things at once, especially to start. So I'll keep all this in mind as we add more things to her plan.
