Hi

I can't remember exactly the name of this test, but basically what he did he

injected some amount of candida into my arm and i waited for 15-20 min. No

reaction, meaning I am not allergic. Then he said wait for another 48 hours

and let me know whether there is any reaction. There wasn't any after 48

hours and he said that that means that my white cells are not fighting it

off. Than he offered another one which is more sophisticated right on the

area above my wrist where he tested several different things. Amongst

candida there was tetanus, TB and some other stuff. Again I had to wait for

48 hours to see whether body will react to it. No reaction again except for

TB which I was immunised against when I was a kid.

After all this he said that that was the most sopisticated test for immune

system and recommended those shots. Now from what I understood they

actually inject small doses of candida into your body so body can build up

immunity towards it. But as far as I know that is waht they do when you are

sensitive to it. But he said I wasn't, otherwise a red patch would have

appeared shortly after.

Now it is up to me what I want to do. He said he does not guarantee

anything. I don't know what to do. I saw enviromental allegist in brisbane

few months ago and he diagnosed me with some food allergies which I don't

think are correct. According to him I am allergic to just about everuthing

which is impossible. This allergist that I saw said that was a rabbish test

that i had done before. My previous allergist put me on some diet such as

gluten free, no dairy, no yeast, low in sugar diet. I can't follow it

anymore because I have to have something to eat. He said I would have to

stay on it for a long time. I am getting fed up with all these diets that

are not doing much for me. He thinks my problem is caused by food

intolerance and that i have to fix my digestion up. But i don't see that

great results at all. When I read your posts and see that you are 100

persent cures when avoiding certain food, then it makes me wonder what am I

doing with this diet then for.

He also tested me for some chemicals and those tests came back positive, so

I am on biodegradable stuff now. that is not a hassle but diet is

dreadfull.

I don't know what to do since i am losing that trust in my allergist. I

don't know who to turn now.

I noticed improvement in vulval pain it is more bearable, but for axample my

anus is getting worse.

Any clues
