Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'm not sure but I think whether you have a lot of rhinitis/frontal nasal allergies and watery eyes, etc depends on your IgE levels...? I used to be quite allergic to the allergins in the environment, always sneezing or stuffy nose and watering eyes, etc. At some point it changed and now I never have reactions to anything (except headaches to certain fragrances but not your typical allergy reaction) anymore. I think some people have had IgE levels get lower during the protocol ... maybe someone could share - if that has happened?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 My daughter had both the blood test and skin prick test for allergies. Ironically the blood showed a " slight " allergy to milk and that was it but the skin prick test showed several other allergies and since she has bad reactions to these things my guess is that for her the skin prick test was more accurate.

I was very disappointed but surprised to find out that had strong allergic reactions to all the grasses, trees, ragweed, dustmites and even rabbit. He had a 4+ on these items and then a couple of 2s and 1's on mold and other things. The strange thing is, he doesn't sneeze like I do. He loves the outdoors and my home is a haven for dustmites. Could his allergies come out in other ways besides sneezing? BTW - I have never been tested but I do have horrible hayfever and yes, I sneeze, have water eyes, etc. All the best, Jill --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?
