Guest guest Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm not referring to this lab specifically, but in my opinion when it comes to dietary choices, it's best to just try them. There are reasons far beyond opioids to exclude gluten. And, it is also best to consider GFCF as two diets, really. Some people do better without gluten. Some do better without dairy, or without certain types of dairy. As to the other tests, I cannot say, as I haven't used that lab, but in general it is not worth testing unless the results can give you specific treatment options to try. If the treatment options are rather easy and especially safe, it is often easier to just try them and see what happens. This can be done based on symptoms. Testing can be really helpful, but should be done selectively--as your questions seem to imply that you already know :-) Anita > > Hi everybody, > > Has anyone used the Gluten test ?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 ITs not totally conclusive test, trying the diet and or digestive enzymes like TriEnza would be a better plan. My sons was inconclusive, he did well on CF, not much improvement from GF but huge improvement on Houston enzymes - normal poops after 10 days of truly weird ones and never looked back HTH Mandi Hi everybody,Has anyone used the Gluten test ? Is it conclusive and reliable ?I'm very new to all those tests and wander if it's worth it to do it.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I agree with what has been said, try the diet.We did peptide testing and it showed that our son "might" benefit from removing gluten (we were already casein free by then). After removing gluten our son had his first ever proper stools and a major improvement in behaviour.IgE testing was helpful here as there were foods that our son couldn't tolerate and I really wish I had of ruled those out sooner. x To: "Autism-Biomedical-Europe " <Autism-Biomedical-Europe > Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2012 9:02 AM Subject: Re: Re: gluten test I totally agree with Anita.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi, I agree with the others. I also looked into their research and I have found it most inconclusive (rather disappointed from a scientific sense). Apart for looking for " markers " not much science...JMHO If they need the child history before hand then I am afraid it's going to be biased. After having paid for their leaflet, I found it ok from a general points on ASD but no meat on the bone! We tried without tests to run without Casein first and found great results from a physical well being-no more bloating, belching, lose stools and reduced episodes of ear infections! Gluten free did not make a huge difference. I also suffer from lactose intolerance so chances are my little one has 50% chance of having inherited this from me. Always look at family history of allergies and food intolerance first! Definitely worth a try! > > > > Hi everybody, > > > > Has anyone used the Gluten test ?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi, We have done the tests you mentioned in Analotus, Sunderland. It is a research Lab recently opened to public. They use QTOF (Quadrupole Time of Flight) Mass Spectrometer. QTOF Mass Spectrometry is one of the gold-standards of chemical and pharmaceutical analysis. Results based on molecular weight show accurate mass to 4 decimal places and are continually adjusted by reference standards. My husband is a fellow scientist in drug delivery field and swears by mass spectrometer. IAG ( trans–indolyl-3-acryloylglycine): The exact aetiology and role of is the subject of continuing research. The use of a gluten-free diet may reduce the levels of IAG present in urine. You need to ask them how much this can help your son. Preliminary studies have suggested that levels of IAG decrease following the use of a gluten free diet. Our son has been on GF/CF diet for six months when we sent the sample. Dysbiosis: again in our case was negative because of GFCF diet. It showed massive amino acid and magnesium deficiency. Homocysteine pathway: illustrates methylation cycle. With this test we found out our son has a blocked methylation. ( my favourite) Tryptophan pathway: very useful for 5-HTP, serotonin and melatonin. (if he has sleeping or mood problems.) Overall, I do believe he can get more benefits by starting GF/CF (even soy/ corn free) diet, supplements and enzymes. Tests can shed a light to find out the weak points.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi, We have done the tests you mentioned in Analotus, Sunderland. It is a research Lab recently opened to public. They use QTOF (Quadrupole Time of Flight) Mass Spectrometer. QTOF Mass Spectrometry is one of the gold-standards of chemical and pharmaceutical analysis. Results based on molecular weight show accurate mass to 4 decimal places and are continually adjusted by reference standards.
