Guest guest Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 > > Has anyone had food allergies looked into privetly?can you do that? > .x > hi tanya i've tried eliminating known common culprits and was astonished to find that whenever i have subsequently introduced wheat into my diet without fail i seem to feel ill, anywhere between 24 & 48 hours later. i'm still keeping my eye on this as even i can't quite believe that something we are all brought up to eat so much of has been making me tired, headachy and causing sinus problems. however, i suspect many of us feel we have multiple issues and that's why we're left to research experiment and self dagnose as GP's/NHS don't seem to want to know about non patentable and simple cures, in my case i'm a keen cook and enjoying the challenge of the many other types of naturally gluten free products such as chick pea flour for flat breads, etc however, xmas has been a nitemare of illness as it's hard to completely avoid it in other people's cooking....although i'll never say no to sittin' wi me feet up while someone else cooks for me! i'm not too sure about tests for intolerances, i'm not sure the testing available is sensitive enough, and decided to do a rotation diet instead, plently of info on the google web 'bout that! deb xx ps i can't eat a lot of spuds either, and have had to eat rice instead, my waistline is thanking me big time!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Do you want to find just a test, or do you want to see someone who will organise tests, go through results and maybe offer a course of treatment (much more expensive of course) ? Have you read " Food Allergies and Intolerance " by Brostoff?

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 If ones GP does not take any notice of these tests you could be wasting money that could be needed.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 i don't follow the logic ...just because a gp doesn't accept private tests doesn't mean the money is wasted....the person who has been tested now knows about x,y, or z intolerance and can take appropriate action to improve their health. trish > > If ones GP does not take any notice of these tests you could be wasting money that could be needed. > Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I agree - the money's not wasted. if a person's intolerant to say, potato, then the GP would not have any cure for that (correct me if i'm wrong) apart from saying 'well don't eat potato then', even if they acknowledged the tests as valid. if all it takes is to avoid potato, then that's all that's necessary? so, not a waste i don't think. if you're intolerant to say potato and you stop eating it, you should be feel better. chris > > > > > i don't follow the logic ...just because a gp doesn't accept private tests doesn't mean the money is wasted....the person who has been tested now knows about x,y, or z intolerance and can take appropriate action to improve their health. > > trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hi, Are you thinking of the Vega test? I had that done a few years ago was negative so I don't really know if it was at all helpful. > thyroid treatment > From: stehendie@...> Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:39:51 +0000> Subject: Re: food intolerances> > You can get linked up to a machine and it can tell you what your food intolerances are.> > > > > >> > Has anyone had food allergies looked into privetly?can you do that?> > .x> >> > > > > ------------------------------------> > TPA is not medically qualified.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I have to agree here, I am really intolerant to maize and even after 30 years my GP doesn't believe or acknowledge it! Its a pain as I can't take tablets as the filler is usually maize starch and avoiding it is incredibly hard. I would imagine if you are allergic to potatoes then that would be just as or even harder to avoid! Its true though, there is no cure apart from taking a small amount every day and trying to build your resistance (this method was suggested to me by an immunologist who told me I was not allergic to maize) though you have to decide whether you are going to let yourself be ill for as long as it takes!!

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 i think that Holford said that if you avoided the food you were intolerant to for six months your body would lose the IgG antibodies? i only just remembered this. mind you i guess it depends on what antibody you have, there are different types i think - the prof bristoff book mentiond in this thread is the best book on food intolerances i've ever read. chris > > I have to agree here, I am really intolerant to maize and even after 30 years my GP doesn't believe or acknowledge it! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 You may be interested in this book.....it has helped many with food intolerances, etc. I have this and have referred to it many times. It has been correct 99% of the time. You need to know your blood type. It's very interesting research. http://www.amazon.com/Right-Your-Complete-Blood-Encyclopedia/dp/1573229202/ref=s\ r_1_2?ie=UTF8 & qid=1294611956 & sr=8-2 Cheers, JOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
