Elimination diet, was Re: Hair test results---Dana B

[Guest guest]

- I guess I didn't find an elimination diet tedious. Five days on

a special non-reactive diet and then reintroduction of foods to test

them for reaction - it seemed pretty simple to me. I had already

figured out most of what I was reacting to; nevertheless, when I did it

I found some surprising results.

I agree that food allergy testing won't pick up on intolerances, like

sulfur food intolerance and others - those are best determined by

elimination. Food allergy testing does have a role to help some

people. The results of the test that my daughter had through

(the lab is linked to in the links section, I don't recall the name

right now) were right on what I expected. The literature could be

misleading. Perhaps there are some labs that are better than others.

My daughter has always had serious allergies and a high total IgE. I

would recommend food allergy testing for someone like that.

Elimination diets are so tedious.
