Guest guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I think that is an EXCELLENT question Cheryl. I haven't had a chance to get into see him; thus he is too overwhelmed with patients at the moment until the new clinic opens up. I've had to do about the same diet; but I'm wondering if this might not apply to me as well. So I'm VERY interested on what the rationale might be. Perhaps it is something I ought to look at as well. Thanks for the topic and question Cheryl; a great one I feel. - ;-) > > At our last appointment we got G's allergy panel back and of course, > it was awful. He's very allergic to a bunch of foods.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hey Cheryl - I'll give a stab at explaining some for you. And btw - rejoice! I understand the trust thing, too. You want to understand, especially when you hear so much about GFCF. I have comments w/in the text below. --- Cheryl Lowrance <c.lowrance@...> wrote: > At our last appointment we got G's allergy panel > back and of course, > it was awful. He's very allergic to a bunch of > foods. **** The allergy panel does NOT necessarily indicate true allergy. It indicates the immune reactions, and is very very inaccurate. It is only a tool, and can be very useful, but you do not remove every food on there. First, not necessary - I'll try to explain more fully. Second, not helpful. Many kids simply do low allergy, and w/the other protocol meds, the food reactions will also cool down. Dr G only starts getting very strict on diet restrictions when he's monitoring the labs and the need is indicated by eosiniphils, and other markers. To start, you follow his diet, and the food panel very often starts 'cooling down' immediately. Some people DO have to get very restrictive per his instructions, but you are not there yet, and may not have to be. Dr. G wanted > to know what he ate throughout the week and based on > the report, I am > basically feeding him a gluten, casein, egg, peanut > and sunflower > free diet. When I e-mailed him what foods he is now > eating and let > him know that everything was gfcf I got a message > back from > saying he didn't want him on a GFCF diet. What?!? ***** For one thing, the GFCF diet attempts to replace the american diet by the use of different grains, ingredients, etc. Much better to eliminate that aspect and change the whole diet altogether, w/an emphasis on proteins and complex carbs, etc. It doesn't fall into place immediately. Another HUGE problem, and lots of gluten intolerants and even celiacs end up in an allergy crisis upon complete removal of foods. (A lot of people in the GFCFers groups have not quite figured this out yet.) When you remove something that the immune system has been chronically reacting to (not to mention replacing it w/'something foreign'), the immune system doesn't just " turn off " in our kids ... it keeps looking for something else. I follow another GFCF list where a lot of people are complaining about becoming more sensitive when going GFCF - it happens A LOT. > I understood his > reasoning and I agreed with him before that I didn't > want to do gfcf > and had no intention of going gfcf unless I found > out I needed to do > so. When I got that panel back, I kind of saw it as > a need to go > gfcf. ***** That belief is based on what you've learned from other groups that don't have the overall picture of immune dysfunction. It makes sense to me, if he's allergic, don't > feed it to him. > But he's telling me no. ***** This is not an allergy. This is a measure of how activated the immune system is against foods - by IgG not IgE which is the true allergy. It can be due to inflammation in the gut from chronic inflammation or yeast - meaning a lack of good mucous, etc, and the protocol and diet measures are all going to be addressing the overall immune issues, including gut health, so militant diet restriction isn't required except when the labs indicate it. It is the concept you've picked up from the whole alternative community. There really are reasons for these labs showing what they do that don't necessarily match up to the interpretations those groups are attaching to them - a big reason why the mainstream medical community doesn't attach any validity to them. They do have a purpose, though. I don't get it and I > certainly don't > understand why he would want me to feed my child > something he's > allergic to. I'm no allergist but I do know that > allergies can wreak > havoc with the brain and it's development. ***** Because they're not allergies. Because that test does not truly indicate that. It measures activation against foods. Actually, many OTHER things - w/food reactions being a result and symptom - are actually wreaking havoc on the brain/development. If the immune system and gut were in ok shape, the food reactions would not be occuring. They're a result and a symptom, not a cause. And they really do (frequently but not every single time) cool off and go away w/out this strict diet control. And the replacement foods are very often far more reactive than the highly processed wheat - which is the only thing Dr G is ok with - and ONLY in very LIMITED quantities. Dairy is the big no no. Also, the probiotics (and you know to strictly limit strains?) will help address the issues too. And multiple strains - a " very logical assumption " that these would be good .... aren't!! Because they're stimulating the immune system in a way that is bad for in an active state. He said > that going gfcf > can cause more allergies to come up, etc. It still > doesn't make > sense to me. ****** It certainly mistifies and upsets a ton of GFCFers too. Dr G says ONLY true celiacs (meeting the main criteria) should be gluten free. The GFCFers that I follow often go grain-free altogether to change their diets. You may want to confirm w/dr G ... I can't remember .... but I think if you went entirely grain free it's ok but not to replace it in the manner of the GFCF diet. Yes, more allergies can come up but > that doesn't seem > like a good enough reason to feed him what he's > already allergic to > and our ped certainly doesn't want us feeding it to > him (as a matter > of fact, our ped wants us to see an allergist and > get tested for > celiac just to be sure). ***** Automatic when gliadin antibodies are elevated. But he almost certainly won't be celiac. Your ped is simply covering bases. Dr G is treating , and celiac is not related technically. Someone please help me > understand why he > thinks I should do this? Our next appointment isn't > for a couple of > weeks so and I'm kind of irritated about the whole > thing. ***** Trust me, your life will be so much easier following his instructions as opposed to what the current ideas " out there " are.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 When we discussed this with Dr. G many years ago, my impression was that he was concerned about all the fillers and other ingredients that could trigger immune reactions in pre-made cfgf substitutes. It does seem that those who use a lot of the pre-made substitutes and mixes tend to have more yeast control problems. He also has found that many of his patients (if not all) tend to react to any whole grain. After years of reworking my diet towards more healthier, whole-grain options, I was very skeptical when he kept pushing this belief. I do have to admit though that he was right. Even though both of our systems are healthier and we can easily handle many foods we previously couldn't, we still both tend to have less tolerance for whole grains even if we don't show an allergy to them. Since many people substitute brown rice and whole grain corn when doing the gfcf diet, I imagine he's concerned about triggering further immune responses. My son had a true allergic reaction to wheat and milk so needed to stay away from them. Instead of substituting other whole grains or pre-mixed items that could trigger other allergies, we were careful to choose substitutions that he could tolerate. He can now tolerate processed white flour once a week or so but tends to prefer to still stay away from it since he says he feels better not eating it.

I see that he's not ignoring the labs but using it as a gauge when checking eosinphils and such. This makes me feel much more comfortable and willing. And thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to me. We were already following his diet and removed dairy (after the panel). I do have another question about this, though. He told me no dairy but at the same time, he tells me that it's okay if he eats crackers like ritz (which contains dairy) but not goldfish. What's the difference? Why are some things okay and others not? How do I know? > > ***** This is not an allergy. This is a measure of > how activated the immune system is against foods - by > IgG not IgE which is the true allergy. The only question I have here is the lab stated that they tested IgG and IgE when I got the results back. How does this affect the outcome of the labs as far as what is a true allergy and what isn't? > > (and you know to strictly limit strains?) No, I didn't. I used culturelle when he was having gut issues (too much fruit) and was planning on using it again when we start the Nizoral. He never mentioned to me that culturelle was not a good one to use so I'm assuming it's okay? When I told him we we're using it when we first met he said he wasn't at all concerned by me using it. I do know that it has a trace amount of casein but again, he didn't seem to care at the time we talked about it. > > ***** Automatic when gliadin antibodies are elevated. His gliadin were in the reference ranges so they were normal. I got this result first and was relieved as I know this is a gluten thing. I got the allergy panel a month later and forgot about this one. > But he almost certainly won't be celiac. Your ped is > simply covering bases. Yes, and he said as much. He doesn't think he has celiac but just wants to make sure we aren't assuming too much. > Dr G is treating , and > celiac is not related technically. No, and that's why I will get tested through the ped instead since it's really not his area. > > ***** Trust me, your life will be so much easier > following his instructions as opposed to what the > current ideas " out there " are. And your child stands > a better chance of overall healing that way than > w/militant diet restrictions. It's definitely cheaper! Thanks again, for helping me understand. I know I have a lot of questions but I have a hard time blindly following *any* doctor. I want to make sure that I understand before I just do it, especially when it comes to my kids.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Ooohhh watch out for culturelle ... at least not if there is ANY OCD or anxiety or repetitive behaviors involved. I'm not at my personal computer but I'll try to remember to post the study info on culturelle. It stimulates some cytokines that tend to already be overexpressed in ... Really, I would recommend you switch on that one. Not everyone has problems, but it does have the potential. Dr G may not be concerned about it right now, and may not want to make bunches of changes at one time. Plus maybe it 's just a very few who react to it - mainly PANDAS kids... I don't know but would keep an eye out with it. Goldfish have more dairy than Ritz. I think Ritz is like less than 2%. Goldfish have coloring too, which is another reactive thing. Anyway, some of the highly processed foods have most of the reactive proteins broken down so much by processing that they no longer trigger reactions. That's one of the reasons he allows highly processed wheats at low amounts. You still have to see what sets your child off, but it's great to know that tiny amounts here and there are not a crisis, isn't it? I think you identify " true " allergies as IgE but may not be fully accurate. I know what you mean about putting total faith in a doctor... I had a year of asking tons of questions to Dr G back when he attended chat weekly, so I already had a good foundation and hours of info before having to give my kids the meds etc. He may be the only doctor I have ever fully trusted - definitely - but I still had to know and understand why my kids were taking what they were taking, and why no one else seemed to agree with it. It helped looking into the reputations of the other docs that he has been associated with and that support him. That certainly helps me feel a lot better.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Lori, If Dr. G is only recommending eliminating " brown " rice, you might try Gluten Free Pantry's OId Fashioned Cake & Cookie Recipe for baked goods. It used white rice and potato flour and is corn free. They may also have some other options that would work for your child. Gaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I haven't posted in a while but thought that I would chime in on this one as we are knee deep in allergy " stuff " right now...again/still! My son has been a patient of Dr. G's for nearly 4.5 years. We started with an IgE in the 3000's with a RR of 0-60. Before seeing Dr. G we did go GFCF with great results behaviourally and bring the IgE down to thelow 2000's. Even though Dr. Goldberg felt with a Gliadin Antibody within noraml range reference my son could go with the Do's and Don't Diet, I could never bring myself to give him wheat, even processed. On occassion when there was no other choice, I did, but never with favourable results. We have continued on a tight GFCF diet, also eliminating soy, corn, sugar, food colouring, nuts, citrus, berries,tropical fruit and pretty much any other allergin that I have ever heard mentioned. We have recently been instructed by Dr. G to remove tapioca and brown rice...Two other " grains " considered highly allergic that Dr. G feels are " pre-activating " my son so that if/when he has the occassional " treat " , like canned pears or cantaluope, he doesn't react as badly. As tapioca and brown rice, along with corn and soy are often substituted for wheat in GF breads and other carbs, it makes feeding my son anything other than protein and vegetables, (he can't tolerate most fruit!)very difficult. My point is that Dr. G feels very strongly that some of the substituions made in GF foods can often be just as allergic as the wheat and other glutens we try so hard to remove. The whole idea is to forget the strict GFCF regime and think low allergin to cool the immune system. Dairy is and will always be a no- no for most of our kids, however the idea of PROCESSED wheat, where most of the allergins are removed during the processing is felt to be the less of all the other GF substituted evils. Now I just have to find the courage to try the processed wheat... Hope this helps to bring to light some of the allergy " stuff " I have been working on for nearly 5 years! BTW, my son's IgE is now in the 1550's with " normal " EOS, better, but we obviously have a way to go. He is a particularly " allergic " /sensitive kid, obviously. All the best as we continue to try and navigate this maze together... Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Hi Lori, My son used to get " reflux " (used to gag and vomit) all the time. It turns out that it was in the rice milk I was using for his pancake mix was made from brown rice. Also, the GFCF pancake mix had brown rice. Like magic his reflux gradually stopped.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi Argie, I am still amazed that after all this time I continue to learn new things. Thank goodness for this list and for Dr. Goldberg who also continues to evolve and learn new things as well. I sometimes forget how complicated this all is. My son has responded so well to the protocol...textbook . Yet here we are 4.5 years later still tweaking. Thanks for sharing.
