I thought Celiac is a genetic condition meaning its triggers are not caused by environmental conditions nor can the intolerance be outgrown though by avoiding gluten the villii can heal.I'm not trying to get over my gluten intolerance. I plan to avoid gluten grains permanently.
There is an existing thread in Main about OIT, SLIT desensitization. The long term prognosis is not good but some are meeting success. There is also a current article on why OIT is not ready for general roll out.
Additionally, I saw you mention Xolair. I was wondering if you have been following the development of CemX.
I see. I ask because we follow Dr. Chang's work, including his his further development of Xolair (next generation CemX).So you are hoping that Xolair might help with food allergies?
If your allergies are IgE-mediated, Xolair would improve them.Not necessarily true. IgE antibodies get generated locally, and Xolair doesn't necessarily get into the tissues in sufficient concentrations to affect the allergic reaction.
Not the reputable sort, they don't. OY.I don't know anything personally about "cyclic food allergies", so I can't comment. But, simply saying "it's not reputable" doesn't work as an argument. They were board-certified allergists and allergist/ENTs. Not naturopaths.
this is an area where the science gets very very fuzzy in a hurry because (bluntly) there are SO many quacks operating that it all turns into hashI agree. BUT this does not mean I was citing pseudoscience. I went out to look at what the scientific evidence says about this kind of food allergy. There's much more that I didn't mention.
Not ONE reputable American allergist would attempt desensitization for foods otherwise. It's dangerous.I'm talking about desensitization for delayed food allergies. That's in the title. I'm not talking about desensitization for systemic food allergies, or proposing that anyone try it at home.
your strategy might be fine for someone who does not have IgE-mediated food allergy, an eosinophilic disorder, or some combination of the two... for anyone who does, avoidance is avoidance. Lives are on the line, and anyone that ignores that imperative does take their life into their own hands.OK, warning well taken.

Right-- your reactions are occurring within the right time-frame to be plausibly IgE-mediated.
Your symptoms are also quite plausibly IgE-mediated.
