Jake Ames, MD, HMD
All of
us at times have gastrointestinal complaints.

Common
symptoms of gastrointestinal complaints are abdominal pain, food allergies, constipation,
diarrhea, gas in the GI tract, nausea and vomiting.

Is it Acute or Chronic?
Where is the location? (Divide the Abdomen into 4 Quadrants)
Associated with or Without Food?
Is there GI Bleeding?
Mucous in Stools? Type of Stools?
Time of Day?

Tests
CBC,
Full Chemistry Panel including the lipid panel, GGT, A/G ratio, and ionized
calcium, amylase, lipase, ANA
Rast
IgG4 or IgG Food Allergy testing. Also
do IgA food allergy blood tests. CRP-HS, fibrinogen, full thyroid panel, MTHFR
mutation.
The most
common food allergens are whey, beta lactoglobulin, casein, alpha lactalbumin,
moldy cheese, egg white, egg yolk, corn, dextrose, wheat, gluten, gliadin,
peanuts, baker’s yeast, brewer’s yeast, bananas, soy, and tree nuts.
Do a
very comprehensive celiac disease panel including the genes for celiac
disease. Very few labs can do this. The standard celiac disease tests are almost
worthless. GI biopsies for celiac
disease are almost worthless, unless the gastroenterologist is willing to send
the biopsy for electron microscopy studies, which is not done these days.
Get kinesiology testing from an experience
kinesiology allergist.
Abdominal
X-rays; CT and MRI, Ultrasound, ANA, colonoscopy
Change
diet to test: lactose free diet, gluten free diet, elimination diet, including
nightshades, lectins, sugar alcohols and saponins.
Treatment
