Name: Linda Anderson Category: Meths, Treat, Ed Prog: Dietary Intervention City: Overland Park State: KS Date: 7/2/2009 6:50:24 AM Feedback: 0 Food Allergy GFCF We have had our 13 yr old son on a very strict GFCF 'food sensitivity' elimination diet(over 30 foods including corn, rice, soy, tomato, etc) for over 15 months. We have seen very little improvement but have stuck with it.... We just had the IgG ELISA 'food panel' redone at Alletess Lab and I don't understand the results. Before the diet he scored .653 for Gluten and after implementing the diet .897 for Gluten. Before he scored .716 for Wheat and after .902 for Wheat. Our DAN allergist MD told us he could not explain this. His Organic Acids Test from Great Plains Lab came back with yeast and bacteria in the normal range....after supplements, etc.. In my very limited understanding, the IgG ELISA test measures antibodies in the blood....why would he have higher antibodies to Gluten when he has not had ANY gluten in 15 months?? Any help or possible explanation would be greatly appreciated.

We live in Missouri and there is very little there for teens/adults. I'm thinking there are more opportunities here in Florida. We have relatives in the West Palm Beach area. Would anyone have any experience with this location and teens with autism? Thanks.
