Guest guest Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Aside of being able to go to a DAN doc or a wellness clinic and have IgE and IgG food allergy and food sensitivity testing done, does anyone know any other ways to do this? In other words, my son's pediatrician is traditional and I doubt he would do this, how can I test for these things without paying a thousand dollars to a DAN doc? I know there are some labs that do these tests but does anyone know an inexpensive, or less expensive way to get the blood drawn and sent there? Do I need an Rx? Any ideas are appreciated, I am trying to do this on a budget! Clara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Igg and ige can both be done by your pediatrician. Insurance should cover both.Sent from my iPhone Aside of being able to go to a DAN doc or a wellness clinic and have IgE and IgG food allergy and food sensitivity testing done, does anyone know any other ways to do this?

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Not sure what the abbreviations stand for but one indicates a response your body had at some point in time, the other indicates a CURRENT reaction.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Here's the distinction between the two: IgE is the immediate response to an antigen causing some sort of reaction - rash, hives, runny nose etc. IgG on the other hand is NOT an immediate response...it could be hours or days but the response elicits a cascade inflammatory reaction which now manifests itself in a more serious way - headaches, asthma, ear infections, bladder infection, joint pain, psoriasis, eczema and so on. Not sure what the abbreviations stand for but one indicates a response your body had at some point in time, the other indicates a CURRENT reaction.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I actually had gotten my pediatrician to write a script when I wanted my daughter tested for yeast (through her stool) and found a lab that accepted my insurance. The referral person was also able to get a referral for the test. Maybe find an immunologist that accepts your insurance and make an appointment for a consult. You can ask if he'll do and IgG or IgE. You should talk to your pediatrician about the non-traditional things you would like to try. If he's opposed, and you can, find another doctor. My pediatrician is great when it comes to some of the DAN! protocol I wanted to try. I needed Methyl B12 shots, and my previous DAN! doc didn't want to renew the script unless I came to see her and spend another $300. I asked my pediatrician and before I was done asking, the script was in my hand. Contact me thru my email if you'd like to have his info. He's pro-autism, willing to listen and give something a try, as long as he feels it won't hurt your child. He's friendly and nice, too!
