My question was how does one get tested for a possible casein
intolerance/allergy. I received 15 responses which are as follows:
1. Five people suggested I try _www.enterolab.com_
(http://www.enterolab.com) to obtain a stool kit. I will consider going this route.
2. One person suggested I take a probiotic and one L-glutamine with each
meal.
3. One person said that lactose is in many medications but usually not
casein. One person stated that the total amount of lactose used in meds is very
small and may not be enough to make a difference.
4. Two people think that my problems could be related to gluten
contamination and to do more checking, especially with medications and health and beauty
products.
5. One person stated that from what she has read that 50% of Celiacs have
an allergy or an intolerance to casein. Interesting....
6. One person recommended that I read the book, "Eat Right for Your Blood
Type", which I did do several years ago. Interesting but not too helpful.
7. One person recommended looking into _www.alcat.com_
(http://www.alcat.com) for testing. Their phone number is 1-800-US-ALCAT.
8. One person had successful testing done at _www.yorkallergyusa.com_
(http://www.yorkallergyusa.com) .
9. Two people said that casein is everywhere just like gluten and I need to
do a thorough elimination diet.
I want to thank everyone who responded. It was most helpful in making my
decision.
