I have a vet coming in with severe asthma, allergies to peanuts and

multiple environmental and HTN.

Is there anything that is generally recommended to decrease allergies?

I recommended he go for LEAP testing, but he has no money. I would

prefer he see somenoe who specializes in asthma/allergies, but again he

has no money/access outside the VA. Any suggestions would be wonderful.

We have discussed omega 3 and probiotics. Thank you!

As a low income/poor vet, he should be able to get free nutrition

counseling with a VA RD!!! Why is he not doing that? May need a docs referral,

but

perfectly appropriate.

2. Have him do 7 day elim diets. . . no dairy x 7 days. . does it help? No

corn. . . no soy. . . etc.

Provide info on going sulfite free. (Article attached) - might be a trigger.

.. . Try for 1 week anyway.

Does he get adequate Vit D? Sunlight? VA could test. . . HTN can be linked

to Vit D def.
