• IgG - antibodies produced when a germ attacks in a subsequent invasion and may also be involved in causing food sensitivities.

• IgA - antibody that is involved with protection of the lining of the nasal passages and intestinal lining from germs.

• IgM - usually the first antibody produced by the immune system when a new germ is encountered and is the body’s early defense system.

• IgE - the antibody most widely known for its involvement in allergies of all kinds.

Types of Antibodies

Pathogenesis of Celiac Disease

• Gluten proteins disrupt the epithelial barrier in the lining of the small intestine setting off complex autoimmune (antigen) response.• Results in destruction of surface epithelium and

flattening of mucosa.1

• Develops “leaky gut syndrome.”• Protein called zonulin “unlocks”

intestinal barrier and creates leaky gut, allowing large peptides to cross lining into blood stream.2 Healthy villi – lining the

• Only 1/3 of the patients with neurological disorders associated with gluten sensitivity have villous atrophy on duodenal biopsy - celiac confirmation.

• There are, however, patients where the immunological disorder is primarily directed at the nervous system with little or no damage to the gut.

“Our practice is to offer a gluten-free diet to these patients even if celiac disease test (anti-

transglutaminase antibody) or intestinal biopsy (flattened mucosa) is negative.”

• Compared with baseline levels, elimination diet was associated with significant reductions in attack count (4.8 vs 2.7); maximum attack duration (2.6 vs 1.4 days); mean attack duration (1.8 vs 1.1 days); and maximum attack severity.

• Significant reduction in pain-bloating severity; pain-bloating within the last 10 days, and improvement obtained in quality of life by the elimination diet as compared with provocation diet.

• Findings indicate that food elimination diet based on IgG antibodies in migraine patients who suffer from concomitant IBS may effectively reduce symptoms from both disorders with possible positive impact on the quality of life of the patients as well as potential savings to the health-care system.

• This study calls into question the reliability of blood cell size testing (ALCAT) as a method for identifying food allergies.

• While the sample size was small, these tests are completed for individual patients in a clinical setting and thus, variability must be minimal for the test to be clinically valid.

• IgG food allergy testing was reproducible and reliable in this study.

Conclusions

YOUR LOGO

YOUR LOGO

YOUR LOGO

• IgG4 antibodies usually represent less than 6% of the total IgG antibodies.

• IgG4 antibodies differ functionally from other IgG subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3) in their lack of inflammatory activity, which includes a poor ability to induce complement and immune cell activation because of low affinity for C1q (the q fragment of the first component of complement).

Total IgG versus IgG4 testing

Source: Shaw, W. Clinical usefulness of IgG Food allergy testingTownsend Letter, January 2014.

YOUR LOGO

• IgG4 has become the preferred subclass for immunotherapy in which IgG4 antibodies to antigens are increased to reduce severe antigen reactions mediated by IgE.

• If antigens preferentially react with IgG4 antibodies, the antigens cannot react with IgE antibodies that might cause anaphylaxis or other severe reactions.

• IgG4 antibodies are often termed blocking antibodies

Total IgG versus IgG4 testing

Source: Shaw, W. Clinical usefulness of IgG Food allergy testing Townsend Letter, January 2014.

YOUR LOGO

• IgG1, IgG2 and IgG3 all are capable of causing inflammation because these antibodies do not exchange heavy and light chains with other antibodies to form bispecific antibodies. Thus, they are more clinically useful.

• IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3 antibodies to food antigens can and do form large immune complexes or lattices that fix complement and increase inflammation in contrast to IgG4 mediated reactions.

Specific Carbohydrate Diet

YOUR LOGO

Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)

“The Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ is predicated on the understanding that Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's

Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (and SIBO), and gluten therapy resistant Celiac are the consequence

of an overgrowth and imbalance of intestinal microbial flora. By altering the nutrition we take in, we can effect the constitution of our intestinal flora, and bring it back into balance, healing our digestive

tracts and restoring proper absorption.”

Source: www.breakingthevicouscycle.com

YOUR LOGO

SCD History • Developed by a Dr. Sydney Haas as an attempt to help children

suffering from Celiac disease, many of whom where dying.

• In the early 50’s, Dr. Haas wrote a book called “Management of Celiac Disease.”

• Dr. Haas’ diet also became useful for sufferers of Chron’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis (UC), Irritable Bowel Syndrome, diverticulitis, chronic diarrhea, etc.

• Elaine Gottschall, a mother of an 8 year suffering from UC, sought guidance from Dr. Haas who placed her child on his SCD.

• She went on to obtain a post-graduate degree in biology and worked in the areas of nutrition and cell science. She helped to spread the word about the benefits of SCD.

• Her first self-published book was “Food and the Gut Reaction.”

YOUR LOGO

Diet Used Primarily To Help Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Pathogen Overgrowth Disorders

• Overgrowth of intestinal flora, particularly in the small intestine, leads to toxic byproducts, i.e. methane, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, lactic acid through fermentation causing mucosal damage.

• Neurochemical influences can occur from these byproducts, i.e. lactic acid.

• Imbalance leads to worsening microbial overgrowth

• Brush border and microvilli function are compromised

• Enzyme function is compromised

• Digestive nutrient absorption is compromised

YOUR LOGO

The Diet

• The SCD is based on the principle that selective carbohydrates (monosaccharides) require minimal digestion and absorption leaving less available for bacteria and yeast fermentation.

• Monosaccharides (single sugars) – fructose, glucose, galactose

• Looks to eliminate all complex starches (disaccharides) which comprise two sugars. Ex: sucrose, lactose, and maltose:• Sucrose – a combination of glucose and fructose. Found as

various forms of sugar commonly used in processed foods.

• Lactose – milk sugar as a combination of galactose and glucose

• Maltose – combination of two glucose molecules. It is produced when amylase breaks down starch, i.e. barley. Maltose is found in may sweetened beverages, beer, cereal, pasta, potatoes and in many processed products.

YOUR LOGO

The Diet (continued)

• The SCD diet relies heavily on specially home prepared yogurt that is fermented for at least 24 hours.

• This fermentation allows for lactose (disaccharide) to breakdown into galactose (monosaccharide).

• In Autism, because of the extensive problems with dairy, cow derived yogurt is discouraged for at least the first 12 months of the SCD diet. • Only dairy product allowed is Ghee (which does not include

lactose or casein).

• Goat yogurt advocated instead

Similarities Between SCD and GAPS

• Removal of all starches and complex sugars

• Only allows monosaccharide carbohydrates found in honey and fruit sugar and non-starchy vegetables.

• Both have introductory diets that are highly recommended to start with, particularly for individuals with severe gut issues and sensitivities.

• Upwards of 2 years or more is recommended

YOUR LOGO

Differences Between SCD and GAPSSCD

• Specifically developed for people suffering with bowel issues, i.e. IBD

• Main goal is to reduce inflammation, heal the gut, and reduce opportunistic pathogens.

• Is a diet only

• Will allow dairy from the beginning, i.e. yogurt, but with autism is not recommended.

• Can start with special fermented yogurt.

• Specialized and restrictive supplements

GAPS

• Developed for people suffering from behavioral, cognitive, and mood issues whether or not they have bowel issues.

• GAPS is a dietary program based heavily on SCD, but overall is a 3 part program based: diet, detoxification, supplements.

• GAPS recommends everyone start casein-free.

• Strong emphasis on broths and fermented vegetables.

• Tends to freely allow more supplements, and higher dose probiotics that are often prohibited with SCD.

The Challenge In Avoiding Salicylates

• There are many varieties and don’t always know which ones will cause problems.

• Amount of salicylates can vary among different fruits or vegetables, and which part of the plant is being used (seeds, pulp, peel).

• Levels can change in plants from season to season, and region in which it grows.

• Organic fruits and vegetables may contain more natural salicylates.

• Cooking can change salicylate levels

• Tolerance to salicylates in food can change overtime with avoidance.

Phenol-Sulfur-Transferase (PST)• PST is necessary to oxidize sulfur compounds, i.e. foods with

phenols, salicylate, amines, including various hormones (estrogens) and neurochemicals (serotonin, norepinephrine).

• Inadequate function of PST allows for sulfur compounds to build-up in the body leading to a host of physical problems such as sleeping difficulties, night sweating, excessive thirst, reddened ear, facial flushing, etc. Mental problems happen too.

• Autism – is often found to have low serum sulfate and high urine sulfate.• Generally, inadequate sulfate available for optimal PST activity

• Low phenol diets can help take pressure off of the PST system

• Also, nutrients such as vitamin C, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and glutathione can aide in phenol metabolism.

YOUR LOGO

Some Remedies To Help With Phenol Sensitivity

• Molybdenum – 50mcg to 100mcg daily

• No-Fenol Enzyme – 1 capsule with phenolic food or meals.

• Epsom Salt creams and baths

Failsafe Diet• Free of Additives, Low in Salicylates, Amines, and Flavor

Enhancers.

• Term coined by Sue Dengate (from the Food Intolerance Network in the United Kingdom) for the comprehensive low chemical and low reactive food exclusion program from the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, Australia.

• The Failsafe diet is designed to treat intolerances and sensitivities to chemicals in foods – not allergies.

• Diet has been around since the early 80’s, but not well known outside Australia.

• Considered to be a more advanced diet than the traditional Feingold Diet, which Failsafe advocates consider to be incomplete and outdated.

YOUR LOGO

What Is Eliminated Through The Failsafe Diet?

• Approximately fifty artificial food additives including colors (like tartrazine, sunset yellow), flavors, preservatives and antioxidants (sulphites, nitrates, benzoates, sorbates, parabens).

• Salicylates (aspirin) and polyphenols (natural flavors, colors and preservatives) found in a wide range of fruits and vegetables.

• Neurotransmitters in food: free glutamates (MSG) and amines(histamine, serotonin, dopamine, phenylethylamine, tyramine and others) found in aged proteins and fermented foods like cheese, chocolate, game, and hung meat.

• Aromatic (strong smelling and tasting) chemicals found in perfumes, cleaning products, commercial cosmetics, and scented and colored toiletries, especially mint and menthol products.

• Some pharmaceutical drugs, including aspirin, NSAIDS and other COX II inhibitors including ibuprofen, and the methyl-salicylates found in decongestants and anti-inflammatory creams.

Failsafe Diet - basics

• Diet is mainly composed of fresh (non-vacuumed packed or hung meat), chicken, white fish, eggs, fresh dairy products (if tolerated, such as yogurt, cottage cheese, milk, and butter), some grains (if tolerated), peeled potatoes, beans and legumes, peeled pears, certain green vegetables.

• Heavy flavors, additives, exotic fruits, vegetables, and spices are not allowed.

• Failsafe Diet is an elimination/challenge test.

YOUR LOGO

Failsafe Diet - basics

• Diet must be treated as a scientific experiment

• The diet must be followed strictly. If not followed directly as outlined by the Failsafe program –www.failsafediet.com, inconsistent results will be seen.

• Generally, it takes 2 to 4 weeks for results to be seen, sometimes upwards of 3 months may be needed.

• Once an individual is feeling well on the diet, or a parent notices positive physical and/or behavioral changes with their child they can begin the challenge phase of the diet.

• This involves testing each food or chemical individually

YOUR LOGO

Amines• Found naturally in some fruits and vegetables, as

well as meats, alcohol, and dairy products, i.e. cheese from bacterial degradation.

Main Difference Between Feingold and Failsafe Programs

The main difference between these two programs:

• Feingold focuses on removing phenol and salicylate foods.

• Failsafe focuses on removing phenol, salicylates, amine and glutamates.• Which includes certain medications, toiletries, cosmetics,

perfumes, scented products, essential oils, and lotions.

• The Failsafe Program is a more advanced and comprehensive approach to elimination of potential offending foods and non-food substances.
