So I've been eating at restaurants and such. I wanted to know how big of an impact that would make on my lab results. Well now I know, I do have some gluten in my system. It could also be from "gluten free" products. I guess you are putting a lot of trust into every company that you buy a product from.
For quite some time now I am going to be very careful with my health and see how it affects my labs. I am not going to eat any processed foods at all, even if they are gluten free. It's going to be a vegetable based diet with supplements. This is going to balance out my omega 3's and omega 6's. I want to see if I can get my gluten test down to a 1. I am feeling symptom free with the way I have been eating. But still yet my lab results do show some gluten damage. It's been very enjoyable eating out with everybody at restaurants the past few months, but I am going to clean things up for a while. I almost expect cross contamination at most restaurants. Interesting. I'll be back to discuss these lab results in more detail next entry.

IGA 7 = 23 % gluten impact on your immune system since at 30 would equal 100%.
IGG 5 = 16 % gluten impact on your small bowel lining since at 30 would equal 100%.

These are my lab results from quite a while ago... Fun to compare! At least I think so. haha...
