IgA Deficiency Support Group

Selective immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency is a relatively mild genetic immunodeficiency. People with this deficiency lack immunoglobulin A (IgA), a type of antibody that protects against infections of the mucous membranes lining the mouth, airways, and digestive tract. It is the most common of the primary antibody deficiencies.

I've recently been diagnosed with IGA def I've omitted all gluten and dairy and I'm sick. My nutritionist told me that it's common to get sick after ommitting these foods while your body adjusts!!!


So hard bacuse I'm a singer and a music teacher and my voice is totally compomised. It makes me so mad....


SO, just eat bone broth and wait it out it out I guess! Anyone else????

Err isn't there a bit of a flu epidemic at the moment?, I doubt it is related, I mean why are you going gluten and dairy free?, that would suggest you didn't feel right in the first place!.

I'm not saying you shouldn't as I largely avoid both as well but can't say much has changed, I tend to just eat organic spelt now and then and pretty much no dairy.

My nutritionist told me that once you cut out gluten,dairy and sugar you could get sick because your body is adjusting.... I have chosen to go paleo and eat a plant based diet because I want to be in control of what goes in my body and optimize my health every day. After two weeks, I feel the best i've ever felt. IGA deficiency will not defeat me.
