Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 We went to a DAN doctor in Cleveland (4 hours away for us) who we liked who specialized in preventative medicine. He did secretin infusions and allergy testing for our daughter. We liked him but found somebody closer. We didn't know it at the time but the allergy test he did isn't available in New York State so we were really glad that we went to him. Otherwise we'd be doing the gfcf diet now knowing that she's allergic to and intolerant of 22 foods totally! I'm not sure if this info is still accurate since we went there in 7-8/99 or if you'd go to Ohio but here it is anyway: Dr. Derrick Lonsdale Preventive Medicine Group One King South 24700 Center Ridge Road Cleveland, OH 44145 440-835--0104 I know that the lab info is accurate. So here's the test he requested and the lab he used: IgG Standard Food Sensitivity Assay ELISA Immuno Laboratories 1620 West Oakland Boulevard Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33311 Good luck!

Is anyone on a diet other than the GFCF diet? What are DAN! Doctors? Should I be getting food allergy testing done?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 In my opinion, I would rather be seen by a doctor that has been trained by mehta. We go to Chicago Shriners and we are very, very happy. As I said before, Chicago has the mehta table and Mehta herself has been there. I have become very good friends with other moms on this forum who also travel to Chicago and none of us have any regrets. I understand feeling comfortable with a doctor, you just want to make sure you are getting the best care you can for your child.
