Food Allergies

<< < Have you checked into allergies? >>

Yes, that's the first thing we did when things started going so badly again.

She had blood tests for environmental and food allergies and everything was

negative.

Hi Everyone........Maureen........have you had her tested for mercury

poisoning?!?!? That's all we hear about down here in Kankakee........how

many of the houses up your way are contaminated. Just a thought. Prayers

for your Mom.

Take care, Everyone.

Margaret,

We have just been reading about that in science class! Never entered my mind

when I was reading Maureen's post. How is Gareth doing?

Margaret, do you know if mercury can be found in new houses as well as old

ones? We've lived in houses that are less than 10 years old since she was

born. I'll ask her neurologist about this. Thanks,

Hi ,

Too bad that wheat allergies and milk (lactose) allergies are so common, huh?

Too bad that must things that are made from wheat or with wheat added are so

DELICIOUS!!! Too bad that many times we have to deprive ourselves of foods that

we love because those foods just do not love us!!! Oh, well, just another of an

endless string of ironies, I guess, huh?

Anyway, I am hoping that Life Lift breathing MIGHT help you circumvent your

allergies somehow and that you MIGHT be able to drink milk and eat all those

delicious foods that you love so much BECAUSE you are doing Life Lift

breathing!!! Wouldn't THAT be nice???

Fortunately, for me, I am not allergic to either wheat or the lactose in milk,

at least I don't THINK I am. I never seem to have allergic reactions to stuff

like that, so I assume that I don't have either of those two VERY COMMON

allergies!!! Too bad that MOST people are not like me, huh?

Love always,

Pat

food allergies

Gosh is that a loaded subject.

A few weeks ago, I was struggling with any number of symptoms and in

a moment of prayer and reflection, I had the inspiration to

study " gluten intolerance " . Now, I didn't have anything about that

at all in my head at the time. But I have been praying to " listen "

to what God is trying to tell me...

Hah...around that time was when he told me to go back to LIFELIFT!

Anyway...I got off of all wheat products for about a week...my baggy

puffy eyes looked kind of nice all of a sudden, and I didn't think

much of it until...

I had some powder donuts and kingcake, and wheat tortillas... !@!!

Can I tell you I was very surprised to see all of a sudden my eyes

looked like I had gotten into a major allergy problem!!!

Yep, so I think there is a connection.. .milk does the same thing. I

think I can probably have just a little of either wheat or milk, and

then I must abstain the rest of the time. I'm learning...about

time...

Another thing, with the food allergies, I am trying to focus on what

good things I CAN eat. That works...better than lamenting my loss of

ice cream.

Question again...

a friend had gastric bypass surgery and started gaining some of her

weight back. She was depressed and eating of course. Well, would life

life work for her? I don't think the diaphram is affected by the

surgery but wouldn't that be the only reason to not do it, something

affecting that muscle?

Hi ,

Rashelle would probably have to be the one to answert that . Or she

might want to show her doctor and get his ok first. Thats so smart to

focus on the good things you can do for yourself. Instead for the

things you can't have . Have you ever tried sorbet in place of ice

cream ?

Hi ,

I am so glad that you are concentrating on the foods that you CAN eat and not on

the foods that you CAN'T eat!!! That is one good way of doing it. Then, maybe

you will even develop more of a taste for those foods you CAN eat and much less

of a taste for those you CAN'T. In that way, you would not even be tempted to

eat foods that make you sick!!!

Love always,

Pat

Hello ,

LifeLift would be great for your friend. I do not know of anyone it will not

benefit. All of the oxygen from the LifeLift breaths can often help to heal more

completely.

If for any reason she needs help I would be happy to help her modify the

LifeLift breath if she needs to do that. Most likely she will not, but just in

case she does I am happy to help.

Be Healthy and take good care,

Rashelle

Harness the Powerful Benefits of Oxygen with LifeLift.

You can also order some of the blood tests directly online. A prepaid

requisition comes in the mail with a list of locations near to you.(you need

both IgG and IgE)

IgE Allergy Assay Type 1

http://www.directlabs.com/testtypes.php#IgE

Delayed Food Allergy (IgG Type II) (115 foods)

http://www.directlabs.com/testtypes.php#immunolab

or you can ask for:

Genova labs test, it's thorough and the report is great(according to parents who

used it).

http://www.gdx.net/home/assessments/index.html

There is also the LEAP MRT allergy test:

There is an email on Co-Cure today about food avoidance in CFS. Here is the

conclusion:

Conclusions: There is not a homogeneous pattern of food avoidance.

Dietary restrictions should be based on a proven food allergy or

intolerance. Dietary counseling should be based on sound nutritional

knowledge.

This pisses me off because it is kind of hard to prove food allergies and

intolerance. I want to yell at the authors and say Well, if you would figure out

what is wrong with my immune system, I wouldnt have to be trying to figure it

out on my own. I have a few anger issues about CFS and the mainstream health

industry.

The dietician that I saw last week recommended the ALCAT test which insurance

doesnt pay for. I saw my DO yesterday and he said he never uses the ALCAT. He

mentioned various other tests with varying reliability and also said he could

just muscle test me. But elimination diets are really the way to go. The

dietician also recommended an hs-CRP test which apparently mostly used to

measure total inflammation in people with coronary disease. Has anyone done that

one? It has been about 16 years since I did any allergy testing and food

elimination diets and 4 day rotation diets so it is probably a worthwhile thing

for me to do again.

High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein is a test that only measures

inflammation in the blood vessels. It is one of the indicators of high

risk for heart disease if elevated. It has nothing to do with

allergies. C-Reactive Protein is a test that measures inflammation

throughout the body. Again, it is not a measure of allergy itself. The

test does not pinpoint the cause of the inflammation, it only tells you

it exists. I get hs-c-rp done on a regular basis. It's a blood test.

What is the point of measuring your total inflammation? Does it go up and down

in sync with your other symptoms? Do you take extra anti-inflammatories if it

comes out higher than usual? Is it just a number to convince MDs that there is

something wrong with you? Or to convince the insurance company?

The dietician may have been concerned about GI inflammation. Or maybe it is a

routine test for them to ask for because they deal with so many people with

diabetes.
