Thank you. Great presentation. I did not see a mention of carrageenan which also triggers the AG response. I have had AGS for at least 4 years now and was seeing a GI clinic for stomach disorders. Nothing was helping. The clinic got a new nurse practitioner who, with my first visit to her, ran tests to confirm AGS. Now that I know, my symptoms are radically better. My speculation is that this disease has been around significantly longer than 2006, but we are finally making some of the connections to identify and diagnose. I also feel it goes well beyond just the lone star tick. Finally, it is extremely important to realize that people have a VERY wide range of reactions. Think of it like bee stings, for some, there is very little reaction and for others, it is life threatening. Everyone is different, which makes diagnosis even harder. Some can enjoy dairy and others can’t. Hopefully science will find a mechanism to prevent the AG response before it happens. Stay safe.

I agree that it's probably been around a lot longer. Science, hmm. I wonder if the science of chemicals getting into feed of mammals that ticks fed off of could have started this AG cascade. I don't trust chemical product manufacturers. Like a canary in a coal mine, I'm sensitive to many chemicals All best to you.

@anonymousperson6462 If ur asking if this is real it is. And to suggest to those who have it that it's not, is a form of gaslighting. It's been around a long time but ppl didn't know that's why they were sick. There wasn't a diagnosis then. Nobody knew what it was. Its only recently theres a name for it. Medicine doesn't know everything. Medicine is still learning. Medicine doesnt have a diagnoses for EVERYTHING yet. Theres still stuff out there that's still hard to diagnose. I have AGS and if u ever seen how it affects ppl in person you'd never again question "is it real." How offensive to suggest otherwise. And again AGS is an allergy to RED MEATS AKA AS MAMMAL. Not MEAT itself. It's the alpha galactose sugar carb only found in MAMMALS that we are allergic to. Now, whether this is something MAN made or naturally occurring, nobody knows that answer. If u don't have it u cant possibly understand. Do your research. Learn about it. Don't assume it's not real. It's offensive to those who have it and are already going through enough bullshit health problems to have a few ppl who dont know what they're talking about questioning it.

With all due respect, the medical field is forever expanding. Just because it's not in a book, at the time you learned, does not mean it doesn't exist. It's arrogant to think that you know everything just because you did schooling in that specific field. The universe is barely understood, there's much more out there than we will know in a lifetime.

I have been diagnosed previously but recent blood test was less then the .10 marker yet my IGE to pork was 3.5 times the recommended level and beef was twice the level. This test was run due to my having a reaction to pork ribs. Should I go by my IGE or my Apha gal marker?

Doctor, Is milk and milk products like yogurt, curd from mammals ( cow milk, Buffalo milk ) safe for those with alpha gal syndrome ?
@SmokeysLadie865 ай бұрын
No. It is not safe. Depending on how severe alpha gal is per person, as someone who has it super severe I would die if I had milk or yogurt. with without an EpiPen and or medical help quickly
@StrongMedАй бұрын
While *some* patients with alpha-gal syndrome can safely consume dairy, I don't suggest trying it without discussing it first with an allergist, who can discuss the risks in your specific case, and who would could make a possible trial of dairy as safe as possible.

It is not just red meat!!! Quit saying red meat! It is pork, lamb, elk, venison…anything that walks on four legs AND IT’s BY PRODUCTS…like toothpaste, clothes, furniture, soaps, lotions, as well as medicines and medical devices!

The term "red meat" may have slightly different definitions depending on whether the context is agricultural, culinary, or medical. However pork is definitely red meat in all 3. And in medical contexts, "red meat" is generally considered synonymous with mammalian muscle tissue. As far as I know, the only remotely commonly eaten mammal that is considered white meat in culinary contexts is rabbit, and even then, rabbit is not consumed in most parts of the US. (I recall seeing it on a restaurant menu a grand total of 1 time, in Virginia). I do agree that bioprosthetic heart valves and things like the use of mammalian derived extracellular matrix in medical products are a problem for people with alpha gal. But the vast majority of medical devices are not an issue.

@@StrongMed you are wrong. Gelcaps , gelatin, animal derrived glycerine, lanolin, leather, wool, fur coats, etc. can cause anaphylaxis in us Alpha Gal people. My worst, almost fatal reaction was from butter just prior to diagnosis.
@StrongMed3 ай бұрын
@@wildwoodnaturescapes How precisely am I wrong? From the video transcript regarding gelatin and gelcaps: "Gelatin is also a potential problem. Although serious reactions to gelatin in alpha gal syndrome are relatively uncommon, gelatin is in so many different things that it can be challenging to totally avoid for people. Even medication capsules often include gelatin as a so-called inactive ingredient. Notably though, most gelatin allergies are not related to alpha gal." Regarding dairy (e.g. butter): "A minority of patients will also get a reaction to dairy in addition to conventional meat." (the percentage of 10-33% is shown on screen) Regarding leather, wool, and fur, I didn't comment on those either way, but I will say that I am unable to locate any conventional medical reference (e.g. peer reviewed literature) that suggests likely risk from contact with these items. If you happen to know of such a reference, I'd be happy to read it and pin a comment addressing it.
