Re: Food IgG vs. IgE confusion - Dr. JM?

[Guest guest]

, I'm not Dr. JM, but my Allie had " moderate " IgG to wheat

gluten. We did gfcf for 1.5 yrs (wonderful results), then began an

enzyme and allowed her to eat what she wanted, as she was *very*

(and still is) restrictive eater. I just got new testing back that

showed wheat gluten to be a " rotatable " food, but now there is a

high rice IgG. The thing is, Allie rarely ate any gfcf substitute.

She won't eat rice for nothing. I did check her enzymes and they

have " rice bran " as an ingred. I'm wondering if the enzyme was what

contributed to the IgG to rice.

As far as the enzymes, they do seem to prevent Allie from appearing

spacey, but now I'm wondering if I'm seeing a delayed reaction from

rice issues, lol.

I use IgG readings to ascertain what a child has been eating, and if any

milk, casein, wheat, rye, barley or oats show up it just means they have not

eliminated those things from their diet. Many foods cross-react; rice may

have something in it that is in another food she's intolerant to. Actually

there is NO test that can tell you it's OK for kids to eat these large

peptides. I personally believe a combination of restricted diet plus

enzymes to catch the rest is the best way to go as long as our kids are

still showing autistic tendencies. Restricted eating is often one of the

signs of ongoing gut inflammation, as the child is fearful of eating

something that might hurt their gut, and they stick with the few things they

are familiar with. Dr. JM

Enzymes help for IgG reactions, though removal of offending food at first

followed by rotation is best and then supplementing with enzymes. IgE is a

" true allergy " and should be avoided completely; some IgE allergies such as

peanuts and eggs can last for a lifetime, while most are gradually outgrown.

I do not know about Bioset; I think for IgG only, but someone (like Ann)

would know about that. IgG indicates an enflamed gut, and as the gut gets

better, these reactions go away or sometimes get replaced by some other food

reaction. The IgG test should be repeated every 4-6 months for best

treatment of gut inflammation. Dr. JM

Dear Dr. JM, My son has been gf/cf/sf and sugar free for over a year. 8

months into the diet we had a SAGE test done. It showed that he was

allergic to wheat, cow's milk, rye, barley, red snapper, sesame, avacado,

watermelon, carrots, string beans, beef, and soy. So does this mean that he

is having infractions in his diet? We don't even have rye in the house and

he has never even had red snapper, avacado,watermelon or string beans. I am

in constant control over what he eats and he doesn't go anywhere without my

supervision. so how can we say these things have not been eliminated from

his diet? We have tried enzymes and he projectile vomits with those so we

are very strict in our house about crumbs etc. Can you help clear up this

concern for me?

Thank You,

Suzie

The IgG hypersensitivities are not allergies - they are foods that the gut

has become sensitive to, causing inflammation. When removed for a time and

rotated, the gut usually recovers from that particular sensitivity, but can

develop new ones. A variety of food intake helps prevent this situation.

Our children are so picky and insist on eating the same foods, and the gut

reacts. There are many cross-reactivities, where a food with certain

molecular structures similar to the one they have become sensitive to will

show up with a reaction. I understand that this is confusing, as parents

say they've never given that food.

The IgE test is a true allergy, and these foods have to be carefully

avoided, as some food allergies such as milk, peanuts, and sea food

(particularly shellfish) can last a lifetime. Usually childhood allergies

are outgrown, but not always.

As to the milk and wheat, yes, anytime the IgG is positive for these or soy

(the large peptides) it is evidence that it is getting into the diet, and

until parents learn to read ingredients carefully, this will continue to

happen. When these show positive for parents who say they are strict, I

have them investigate carefully whether a caretaker or relative who believes

that " a little bit will not hurt " is getting something to them. Sometimes

kids exchange food at lunches, or snacks at school are actually " swiped " by

these kids. Strict surveillance will definitely eradicate these positive

reactions, so you have to become a sleuth sometimes to find out where it may

be coming into your child's diet. You might get onto a GF/CF list where you

can find out some of the ways ingredients can be hiding these offenders.

Enzymes can only break them down a certain extent; gluten, casein, soy and

often corn too must be avoided until the gut inflammation is healed. As

healing starts, enzymes can definitely be a help in the transition to a more

regular diet, but basically these kids will always do better without milk

and the large peptides. Dr. JM
