      people always act like i’m one of those people doing a gluten free diet to loose weight and i hate it. if i had a choice i’d eat gluten but i don’t. i’m only 15 and i got diagnosed a year ago and since i’m so young no one takes me seriously.

      I think thats because everyone who gets any sort of IBS or the shots wants to say it's their "celiacs acting up again" and their "gluten issues" when really they just put too much pepper or ate chili or whatever (it's ironic how many people SUDDENLY have gluten issues only when they have the shits).

      I was diagnosed with Crohn's at age 13 and for years, the general public, people who knew me, never took it seriously, many thought I just had an eating disorder because I was also a gymnast. 2 weeks after my 16th birthday, I had emergency surgery to remove several feet of diseased bowel leaving me with an ileostomy, then suddenly people believed I was actually sick. This was 20 years ago and Crohn's wasn't as well understood, but it's sad to see that people still have these same issues today with others not believing them or taking seriously their issues.
      My biggest issue now is that I struggle with a LOT of pain related to my Crohn's and people always tell me "well you don't look sick" I just wish society could get over someone needed too " look" sick for it to be a real issue.

      It’s because of all the hipsters who clearly aren’t allergic making a big deal. I worked at a restaurant and if someone requested something to be gluten free I’d explain to them the whole process on how we could make it that way it’d just take longer and almost every tome they’d be like oh well I just don’t like gluten I don’t wanna wait that long -_- the actually allergic people understood why we had to be super careful and make things from scratch and change gloves etc

    That’s very interesting. What I took from this is:
    -everyone should know that if there is no published study behind a test, then they shouldn’t take it at face value
    -Severity of allergies cannot be measured, so its best if people don’t focus on severity and just focus on understanding how allergies work and how to prevent allergic reactions through the education and guidance from medical professionals.
    - Prepare for Emergency situations for allergic reactions- prepare epinephrin, check the expiry date, and learn to be comfortable with needles.
    -Alert but not Anxious (I think this quote applies here too)

    • @KatieCottingham

      @@lachlankay9212 Not quite the right example. I think the simplified explanation would be more like this: just because you only got hives from your first exposure, doesn't mean you won't experience anaphylaxis with your next exposure, so it's important to seek proper medical care to ensure you confirm and understand what actually caused the hives and then learn how to manage the allergy.
      As someone who has nearly died of anaphylaxis from a single wasp sting, I can attest that the first exposure was nearly lethal while exposure decades later was no where near as extreme. Like with food allergies, I have to be mindful of my EpiPen and I long ago developed an explanation and process to train others to be comfortable with using an auto-injector through the practice device the manufacturer provides. My early life exposures meant I knew I may have very little time to get the injector (or originally the epi kit), do the shot, and call 911, so it's been an anxiety and care management process since childhood to know there's people around me who are responsible and educated on what could happen in an emergency.
      Some people experience increasingly severe reactions and that becomes the measure by which doctors seem to advise specific cautions. My friend's little girl nearly died after a classmate forgot to wash their hands before coming back into class from lunch, and the multi surface contact spread hypothesized here as extremely unlikely ri cause a trigger, and notably very rare in documented cases, was very nearly lethal. It was only because her best friend (not the teacher who had previously called the hand washing requirement stupid and unnecessary) stayed calm, gave the epinephrine injection, called 911 and then my friend, and sent another student for the school nurse. Rare extreme cases exist, but I have never personally heard of one like that happening where the patient hadn't been diagnosed previously. Now that level of progression likely indicates an evolution of the severity of the body's response, but no test before, nor her previous two exposures, would've accurately predicted how severe and fast the response was that last time. Which is why we need people to grasp that a test, and even previous exposure reactions, don't guarantee an identical response in the future. Our bodies don't work as predictably as we'd like to imagine, and that's why correct specialist care and reasonable proactive approaches are essential to actually living instead of merely existing in fear.

      "I am sorry, but I can't listen to this BS, as a person whose health went downhill due to food sensitivities and whose moron doctor just laughed at me when I asked if changing a diet will help. You are both males who generally speaking have sensitivities less often than women. And yet you both sitting there and explaining to other people that sensitivities are nothing to be worry about? Let me tell you this: while food sensitivities test might be not beneficial due to possibility of false-negative and false-positive results, eliminating certain foods forever may change one's life to the best. And let me tell you that fatigue and bloating go hand to hand with autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's (low thyroid), that you as a doctor must check during routine exam. And not only check lame TSH, but T4, T3, free T4, free T3, TPO antibodies. But of course instead of seeing major GI issues and fatigue as a huge red flag you will choose to mock patient's decision to get tested. You are freaking doctors! Get yourself educated on what food can cause to the body and stop reading the books about nutrition that were written in 80s. Every day we learn something new about how certain components MAY affect one's body. And while you life, person is losing health because believing you she decided not to change the way she eats, and in a pretty short period of time she can bury her health.
      P.s. And 3 years later after firing my moron doctor and adjusting my diet by eliminating dairy, gluten, grains, nightshades, nuts and seeds I am down 20 lbs, I don't have hives, I have high level of energies, I went from bedridden to active, I don't have joint and GI pain, and the only deficiency that I have is Vitamin D which I was ALWAYS deficient of. And all my tests are amazing. And I feel sorry for all patients of that doctor who he treats and dismisses their concerns."

      I would say that it really depends where you work. I will admit we do roll our eyes when we get asked what's inside of what. Working in a small crew or yourself we have an idea of what person uses what spices or ingredients the most so we have a list, but WE even ask questions to the chef(s) at times to refresh their memory. The importance of where we place or use utensils and gloves is crucial too! My advice is go to a place that listens and values your needs! Do not be hesitant to ask questions or make slight changes to your meals. Example: "Hey, could I have ______ instead of ______?" This example is easy for me in my work experience but a GOOD waiter should ask "Why is that?" Be brutally honest in the beginning, inform that you are allergic to _____ or proceed further that way the waiter highlights you on a food ticket in the back.

    I think a lot of people turn to “alternative medicine” or “food sensitivity tests” because doctors say there’s nothing you can do for a lot of issues. This is especially true for older patients. Part of the problem is American healthcare not paying for anything, but it doesn’t help to have doctors that shrug off your symptoms.

      I agree. I was having a lot of health problems and turned to food sensitivity tests because doctors didn’t know what to do. In the end, the tests didn’t help. I tried an elimination diet though and that helped a lot. I found out that I was intolerant to soy (which didn’t show on my sensitivity test). Because I’m lactose intolerant I was eating lots of soy products and I was constantly nauseous with diarrhea and insomnia (I weighed about 100lbs and could barely walk). I stopped eating soy and in half a week my sleep went from 2-4 hours a night to 6-8 hrs. In the next year I gained about 40lbs, and my blood tests finally showed that I wasn’t low in nutrients anymore. But I’m not allergic to soy. I’m not sure what my relationship is to it though so I just call it an allergy.
      I am allergic to every animal with fur, wool, or feathers as well as almost all grasses, and lots of weeds and trees. I spend early spring to late fall indoors with air purifiers and cycling through different antihistamines (they stop working after a while). I live in a drafty old house (we are trying to get money to get new windows and doors installed) so I’m constantly stuffed up with itchy eyes, ears, and throat. Some days I feel like their are bugs crawling inside my head and it drives me crazy. I hate the itching so bad. And if I go outside I often get allergy induced asthma attacks. I can’t wait till winter and everything is dead and frozen! I hate the cold, but it’s better than this. The rest of the year just feels like I’m surviving till winter. These allergies only got so bad after I had a hysterectomy a few years ago. Before that, I had allergies to all that stuff, but I could take antihistamines and spend the day outside.

    I appreciate that there is a difference between IgE reactions and sensitivities. What I didn't appreciate when I went to the allergist with hives was how dismissive he was once he established that it wasn't IgE reactivity. It was basically, you have idiopathic hives, can't help you, not my area, they're called idiopathic for a reason, don't let the door hit you on the way out. The message was essentially that since it was a problem he didn't know how to solve, it wasn't a problem. Which is extremely frustrating when you've been itching for months and have no clue what to do about it other than more over-the-counter antihistamines. People finding their way to quacks isn't surprising in that context.
    I eventually figured out on my own that I was sensitive to the ibuprofen I had been taking for a shoulder injury. I also eventually figured out that I can take ibuprofen occasionally as long as I don't take too many doses in a row and there was a long enough gap since the last time I took it. Some guidance from the medical establishment would have been nice and probably would have spared me months of grief.

      The misconception comes more from how food trends have made gluten foods mainstream "unhealthy". On one hand, it does help push a bigger and better variety of food options for gluten-free people. On the other hand, with the amount of people who claim to be gluten-free but then they're at a restaurant that serves pasta/bread/pastry/tofu/etc focused foods, and often have no problems ordering such foods because they're only following a food fad, the staff will begin to take it lightly. So yeah, you will need to be more specific to get taken more seriously.

    • @richchappell

      I have a niece and nephew with Celiac Disease. In my opinion, a big part of the problem is that people who don't have CD keep claiming they have a "gluten allergy" even though they really don't. When restaurant workers watch someone claim to be allergic to gluten while ordering food (which requires a lot of cleaning and caution in the kitchen) then order a wheat-based beer, they become skeptical of all people claiming a gluten allergy. It's kind of like how the pain med addicts are ruining things for the people who really need pain meds.

The anxiety is very real for us (he also failed a cooked egg food challenge after the allergist sent us home thinking all safe). No restaurants or food prepped by anyone but our immediate family.

      I would say to you what I would tell my best friend: Find an allergist that is willing to do food challenges and oral immunotherapy (OIT). Our first allergist was not willing to do them, so we found one that was willing.
      My son had the food challenge and had an anaphylactic reaction at the doctors office. This would scare most people or kids, but we went on with OIT starting at extremely low diluted doses, slowly increased over months. My son finished the final stage a few months ago, for a year he had eaten a whole egg (!) every day. He still eats an egg every day, because he likes it now.
      We also did OIT for peanuts and milk because he would break out in hives during the food challenge with those as well, those were not as severe and the ramp up and length of OIT was shorter. Its expensive, but it also saves you money and gives you peace. It is worth it. I was fortunate enough to live less than 5 miles from a fantastic allergist some people drive 200 miles to see.

      We have a great friend of many decades who used to babysit my wife when she was young. Her son is allergic to cow milk and chicken eggs, and is autistic, both (and more) likely caused by fetal lead poisoning. They have been getting home grown goat milk, not the nasty canned stuff in the store, and turkey eggs from us. He can eat both without issue. If you live in a rural area, these might be an option for you.
      As a teenager, he had ice cream for the first time. We gave them an ice cream maker and he loves it.
      If goats are raised in a nice environment, their milk should taste like whole cow milk. Some people say that goat milk tastes funny, if that happens it is because they ate something that caused it. The milk from brush eating goats that are used for weed control would not taste good. Ours eat pasture grass, alfalfa and a mixed grain feed that makes good tasting milk. "free range goats" FYI

    So I went to an allergist and they gave me a skin scratch test for allergies. I came back with over 34 allergies (food an environmental, surprisingly no animals) I stopped eating my allergens and felt great after 4 weeks. However, my diet was VERY restricted. He told me to reintroduce things slowly and see how they make me feel. Some caused a rash. Some didn't bother me other than burping. Some very BAD digestive discomfort, and others caused massive amounts of anxiety attacks. One made me feel like I had the flu for a week (Rice, which is in almost ALL gluten free things by the way) he told me that none of my allergens will kill me, but they could make me uncomfortable. I miss so many foods. Citrus fruit, Mexican food and Chinese food were my life lol! Watching this is helping me to build courage to continue to try to add more things back to my diet. I'd love to hear more about food allergies and how it affects anxiety in the body. Even without fear of dying or reacting, (didn't realise that I ate something I am sensitive to) I had massive panic attacks and then would use the bathroom and be ok. Not to be gross but it's like my body sets off an alarm going "oh shit! What's this! EVACUATE. EVACUATE." 😂😂 It's NOT funny at the time but I've experienced it enough that enough to know my body is just being dramatic. I dont have issues breathing or anything like that when it happens.

      Unfortunately, I don't think you can get them if you don't have a specific diagnosis from someone willing to write a prescription. I've always been scared of bees/wasps/all those stinging flying things and found out I have good reason to be, thanks to fire ants biting me and swelling up and itching horribly for a couple weeks after each time, that I'm allergic to that whole family of bugs (family of poison they have). Now I'm even more scared to be around bees/wasps/etc because I can't get an epipen or anything other than benadryl to do anything if I were to get stung. My parents say I'm a wimp and there's no reason to have such a thing or be afraid.

    I’m really grateful for allergy specialists. When I was a teenager my family thought the reason I kept getting sinus infections was because there was something wrong with the passages in my nasal cavity. We asked my PCP if she could refer me to a ENT specialist but she offered to have us meet with an allergy specialist first. Honestly he made my life so much better, I was so sick for so much of my childhood with sniffles, I could never roll around in the grass, I was scared of bees. I was allergic to every plant tree and animal out there (except cats) so the treatment was awful but it helped so much! Loved my doctor!

    I definitely think that the food sensitivity tests are a lot of bunk, but my wife took one anyway and then took out each one that scored high and cut them out one at a time for a few weeks each. Ultimately of the couple dozen she was supposedly getting her migraines from, both the bananas and pineapple actually stopped the migraines when she stopped eating them (she was eating bananas almost daily and pineapple several times a week). She's been off those two things for a bit over a year now and not a single migraine. So no, she didn't blindly stop eating everything the test told her to, but it helped her pinpoint things she might have sensitivity to. Using these things as a tool, with a careful eye for what logically and scientifically is accurate vs pseudoscience, can be helpful.

    A few years ago, my dad had a reaction similar to an allergic one; he got itchy, had red spots all over, his throat got all red as well and a little inflammed. We figured, hey, that might be an allergic reaction, cause the only thing he had eaten that my step-mom and I hadn't was a cereal bar with nuts in it. He went to the er and they kept him for the night. He got told he was allergic to peanuts, which crushed him cause he just loves snacking on peanuts.

Food can cause all a lot of different reactions. Really need to listen to people & educate on what is what. Great info on perceived risks.

    Question: When I was 22 I was stung by a bee. It was the second time in my life this happened and I had an allergic reaction - my eyes were itchy, I rubbed them, and I guess they swelled up because by the time I showed up at the campus infirmary they were like - whoa - and gave me a shot of epinephrine, eventually a referral to an allergist and for a number of years I carried around an Epi-pen. The allergist said that even though I had no trouble breathing, the hives all over my body and the swollen eyes indicated a systemic reaction. To date, I have never been stung again. Though I studiously avoid bees! However - in my 40s, I was screened for allergens because of hay-fever-like symptoms. Because I had a known allergy to bees, that was added into the list of things being tested. And it came up negative. I asked how that was possible and was told that if I am not exposed to the allergen for long periods of time, the antibodies can disappear. Can you confirm this?

      This is similar to my experience. I was stung once and my entire leg swelled up. Two or three years later I was stung again and developed hives, dry mouth, and general body swelling. Based on my progressive reaction I began carrying an epi pen (another family member was also deathly allergic to stings). Well, fast forward a good 15+ years and I got stung again. I didn't have my epi pen. So, we called 911 and the paramedics waited with me for around 30 minutes to see if I would develop a reaction and I never did. Even the swelling in the immediate area was minimal. Went to see an allergist to re-test everything including my bee/wasp allergy and I came up completely fine on that particular problem. Allergist stated much the same as your doc.

      Judith Montel yes, antibodies disappear over time if we are not exposed to the antigen that caused them to form in the first place. the immune memory that our bodies form wears out if we don’t stimulate it. This is exactly why some vaccines need a recall over time - because the immune memory cells who used to remember that specific antigen die off over time. Our bodies are like self-cleaning hard drives: there is just so much space so they automatically delete old files that haven’t been open for 10-20 years in order to make space for new stuff we encounter.

    I went to an allergist. She asked what I was allergic to. I replied “pretty much everything”. She then tests me with 100+ pin pricks across my entire back, and 12 sub-q injections down my arm. My back swells up with 90 large bumps, and my arm looks like it was stung by 9 bees. “Oh my, you really are allergic to almost everything! Patients usually say that but really only have an allergy to a few things!”
    The treatment plan is to get 3 shots, twice a week for 42 weeks. (I hate needles!) They would be injecting me with small amounts of all the things I’m allergic to and slowly increase the concentration. They expect I would have a reaction at some point, so I’d need to stay in the office for 30-60 minutes after the shots were given for observation. An epi-pen was also immediately prescribed.
    I haven’t started the shots yet. I have doubts they will help. I already get exposure to stuff daily bc you can’t avoid all the things I am allergic to!
    I don’t carry an epi-pen. It’s just not practical. Guys don’t have purses to throw stuff in. Everything I carry has to fit in my pants pockets - wallet, keys, and phone. I already have gone minimalistic on wallet content and even the wallet design itself, and limit the keychain to house key, car key, and a lego minifig keychain. My phone is the smaller version of the iphone. There’s no room to carry an epi-pen. And leaving it in the car would have it exposed to extreme temperatures. Not a good plan.
    I have had these extreme allergies for 25 years now. I mostly avoid eating outside of my own house. It’s “funny” when I go to a restaurant with people and I can only order a water and watch others eat - only to then have a reaction of my throat and lips swelling up bc they put a few drops of fresh lemon in the water! So now I can’t even sip a water. (I bring my own.)
    Irony: the grape flavor additive to benedryl I am allergic to! When I take benedryl my symptoms get worse before they start to get better.

    I'm glad you mentioned the elimination diet. It has improved my quality of life.
    Skin tests did not yield many results. However some of the spots reacted in large hives several hours after the test but did not react during the parameters to the tests so I don't know what those things were.
    But the elimination diet showed me how I react to specific foods. I don't know what is an allergy, sensitivity or intolerance but I know what makes me sick and what doesn't and that has been life changing.
    It is hard sometimes when people enjoy bullying folks with dietary restrictions. My reactions can range from painful systemic inflammation, to asthma and itching to convulsions and vomiting.
    Yet many people don't believe in food allergies and sensitivities. I've had people try to feed me dangerous things thinking I wouldn't know and cause me serious harm.
    I appreciate you shedding light on the distinctions between the different types of reaction and the unreliability of some of the tests being marketed.
    It would be great to also address the issue of respecting people's dietary choices whether for religious, health or ethical reasons.

In fairness, he does then let him confirm or deny that the words which have been placed there are accurate, but is that really good interviewing skills to constantly control the conversation and basically only let the expert speak to say, "yes, that's accurate," or, "no, that's not quite how I see it, here's what I meant"? I'm not familiar with standards of journalism, at all, so I'm no expert in this field, but it seems weird to me, and honestly I was a little irritated watching it that he spoke on his guest's behalf so much. I understand there's probably a need for a good journalist to reign in interviewees to prevent them from rambling or going into too much technical detail, but I didn't think this was a good balance on that front.

      There is also the fact that they can get insurance to pay for the test, where cutting gluten when you don't know for sure can be difficult due to a lack of access to gluten free food, or not being able to afford a proper diet while also cutting gluten.
      As a college student who was told i might have a gluten issue, my immediate response was "no, that isn't possible"(to follow the diet restriction) until I had a possible seizure, and then was able to cut gluten for a week, due to being home with my family who had transitioned to gluten free. I had had blood pressure problems for a month that were getting worse, to the point i would nearly pass out at every rehearsal for a play i was in. I never connected it, until a week after my last intake of gluten, it all cleared up.
      Since then ive done my best to be gluten free, but i spend 2-4* the money, and i cant eat anything on campus without risking at least cross contamination, and cooking myself is not possible to do daily.
      I would love to take a test, and know for sure it is the gluten, because if it isn't, and its something related, that alows me to have more variability- or at least i would feel comfortable saying i have celiac or whatever. I have no way to know though, because the tests require eating gluten for an extended time, which now is too much of a health risk, but could have been done when I first visited the doctor.

    Getting a food sensitivity test was the best decision I've made in my life. I was diagnosed with IBS and I was on a very limited diet for about two years but I never got any better, sometimes with nearly debilitating symptoms. Eventually my family doctor referred me to a naturopath who arranged for me to have blood test. For 30 days I had to eat a long list of foods before the blood tests. Turns out I'm highly sensitive to Eggs, Wheat and Dairy (not the lactose though since I was already tested for that) as well as sunflower seeds, legumes, peas, asparagus, cucumbers and celery.
    Once I cut these foods out it's a night and day difference. I can honestly say that my Naturopath has made the biggest impact on my health through this blood test as well as eating advice and prescribing some pills such as digestive enzymes, tumeric and magnesium etc.
    So please don't discount all Naturopaths. I was extremely skeptical when I first started seeing her but my life has been so significantly improved since she's treated me. She is not a hippie essential oil vegan type of person, she's mostly like a dietician but also taking mental health into consideration as well as helping me figure out what triggers my IBS. For example, if I eat too much meat or for two meals of the day. It's a lot to do with moderation, some things like dairy I can handle a little of every few days or so.
    Please don't discount all Naturopaths because there are other people with IBS out there who could continue to suffer.

    • @ss.surprise
      @ss.surprise 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      The issue isn't with the type of doctor but that the exact type of test being referred to here is itself worthless. It measures something that doesn't tell you anything other than if you have eaten that food before. That doesn't tell you if you are sensitive (despite labelling itself as a sensitivity test), have an intolerance or have an allergy, it only tells you that you have eaten it before yet is used as if it does tell you how sensitive you are to foods. Having a high or low level of it doesn't mean anything of note and it is normal if you eat something regularly to expect a high level of it.
      If you are clearly having food issues and are sensitive to something that you eat but don't know what, I, a mere nobody, could have suggested you stop eating everything you normally eat and substitute everything and your symptoms could have magically gone away.
      That doesn't mean I'm a doctor or a genius, it means that if you are likely sensitive to at least one thing you regularly eat, telling you stop eating everything it could possibly be will eliminate the problem food eventually. It's like how if there is a group of twenty people and it is known that one of them is a serial killer at minimum, if you execute all 20 of them, you do guarantee the serial killer is gone. But it's not a clever, methodical or thought out way of doing it, it is just blind elimination to guarantee the problem is gone.
      In the same vein, a 'food sensitivity' test telling people they are sensitive to X, Y, and Z will hit the mark 'sometimes' not because they are useful, but because if people stop eating whatever it marks as a problem food it will at some point end up marking real problem foods. Not because it actually did anything to identify them, but because if you have shuffled your diet around and these are the only things you still consistently eat, it's got to be one of them because that's how things work. Like, again how if you have a group of twenty people and identify three as serial killers at random, sometimes you will get it spot on, not because you actually knew or did anything to get it right but just because statistically a guess will be right eventually.
      It's not actually the test itself that leads to any positive results, it is chance and the fact that if they ARE having food issues it IS likely because of something they are still eating actively. But if they AREN'T having issues because of food, then it actually worsens things because it will tell many people they are sensitive to things they AREN'T leading to them constantly changing their diet instead of addressing what may be a very different medical issue because it misleads them into believing it MUST be their diet.

      @@ss.surprise I did the elimination diet for over two years and I never got better. I did the exact diet that my gastroenterologist specifically instructed me to do after getting diagnosed with IBS. I have had an upper endoscopy for my stomach and upper GI tract. I've had allergy tests. I've had urine, stool and bloodwork to determine if I have celiac disease or any other conditions. I've had ultrasounds and barium tests and nothing gave us any answers so they diagnosed me with IBS because it's a general diagnoses for sucky digestion. My gastroenterologist gave me a very long list of foods to avoid and told me that once I felt better I could gradually bring some foods back. She told me it could take a few months to start feeling better but after two years of pain and frustration I went to the naturopath. It was incredibly difficult as a busy college student to find anything to eat before this because nearly all food has dairy, gluten, garlic, onions and many other foods. But, this incredibly long list that the gastroenterologist specialist gave me did not include cutting out eggs, legumes, pistachios, cashews, sunflower seeds, celery or cucumbers so I continued to eat them and continued to feel Ill. After my naturopath ordered my blood test for food sensitivities, and once I cut those foods out I noticed a major difference within two weeks. And if I try to test if I'm still sensitive to some foods, within hours I am reminded that those foods are no nos. Maybe the food sensitivity tests in the states are quite different from the ones in Canada? I had the bloodwork done through life labs. The way my naturopath explained the test to me was that I'd eat the long list of foods that are required for the test for thirty days prior. The blood work was to see what I was sensitive to but it's not that simple. She explained that it can determine what foods I have delayed reactions to. I know it sounds weird but it makes a lot of sense to me. I could eat a food but won't feel the ill effects hours later and sometimes it can be days later. So, because I don't have reactions after an hour or so after eating something, I figure that the food is ok to eat. Then, I could have a reaction hours or days later and not associate the reaction to the food that caused it. One thing of note is that in Canada, family doctors and allergenists cannot order this type of sensitivity bloodwork. Only a gastroenterologist or naturopathic doctor/dietician can order them. It took like eight vials of my blood to do the test and it took about a month to hear the results.

Also, I can eat meat but I can't digest larger quantities of it, or for example, two meals where the main feature is meat.

      Amanda Snider thanks. We don’t have a Costco near us. I’ve taken probiotics for awhile, and any veggies get me but I can’t stand them cooked so that is a huge issue for me. I have to honestly say I’ve never seen anything say digestive enzymes or I definitely would have gotten them. I love salads but have stopped eating them for a couple years now except every great once in awhile bc it messes up my stomach. I only found a couple of my empty veg caps so far but I took one with turmeric oil day before yesterday and felt good yesterday so I’m going to have to order some ASAP. Thanks for the insight I will look for some enzymes!

      If anyone just think about it for a minute they should understand. Allergies gives an allergic reaction and can be really dangerous. An intolerance just means it’s hard to digest but the most you’ll have is bad digestion, that’s it

      @@Saya-ng1sl it should be that easy but since lactose intolerance is thrown around so often and some will even say they are allergic to milk if they have intolerance. and at least in my area a true milk protein is not heard of as much many just assume it's the same.

      @@jaybrewster6926 Yeah I used to say that and folks got confused and think I instead had a severe lactose intolerance. I now usually explain the whole allergy is where the immune cells attack the proteins in milk, intolerance is your body lacks the enzyme to break down lactose. I still lose some people halfway through that explanation too and they just say "oh ok" then forget I'm allergic to dairy within the next few days and offer me chocolate or something lol

    I took a hair IgG test and it changed my life. I eliminated the foods and all my symptoms went away. Thought i had an issue with dairy but after going gluten free I can eat dairy now. It worked for me. My bleeding gums, GERD, burning mouth, mouth ulcers went away. Vitamin deficiencies all gone, dr wouldn't test for celiacs saying it wouldn't be covered ?! My stomach never makes noises now and never gets bloated. It's helpful for some people. My test was only $35 and worth it. Retook the test two years later and similar things came up even though i no longer eat. Likely have celiacs as I found out it runs in my family. Worked for me!

      Yeah...called a restaurant yesterday to ask if their soup had any flour/gluten, she goes and asks her manager, comes back and says it is not gluten free, it has eggs. I ask her, so it has gluten and eggs? “Idk, my manger said that it’s not gluten free because it has egg yolk in it.” Me: “But...eggs are eggs, not gluten.” Waiter: “IDK, she said not gluten free.” Like wtaf
      But yes, there are a whole lot of restaurants that do have really gluten free options and menus.

    Twenty years ago my dad, who was a dentist, got allergic to acrylic plastics that you use in teeth fillings. A few years ago he died with no lung capacity left. It really scares me that nail salons use basically that same acrylic, but only lower quality and with poorer protective measures.

    I do appreciate this video but I have found a good blood food sensitivity test only improved my life for the better. I would get extreme reactions from eating nuts, especially almonds, I went to an allergist and got testing done and was told I didn't have an allergy but I felt deathly ill every time I had almonds. After food sensitivity test determined it was severely high. I cut it out in my digestion. Got better and didn't have a problem since. My allergist even confirmed that their testing can be inaccurate. There are a couple of different foods that I don't have a true allergy too, but highly intolerant and sensitive, and those tests help me find it out. And I eliminated the very high ones in my life improved 100%.
