Re: Aaaargh! Rotating hasn't worked :(

I have a lot of intolerances too. How long would a person have to do a juice or

water fast to get all of the intolerances out of their system? Does anyone know?

Chrystal,

Sorry to hear about your struggle with food allergies. I know it can

be frustrating. Are they mild, moderate or severe? My doctor (a specialist

in nutrition) has told me to cut out anything that's a " mild " antibody (IgG

ELISA test) for 3-4 months, then introduce it once a week. I was concerned

that we weren't testing again before starting the food, but I trusted him

and followed his directions. And the food would test negative when I had an

ELISA test many months later. Of course new ones would always pop up, but my

list isn't that long. I was tested again last month, so I should have some

new results in two weeks.

If something is a moderate or severe food, then the wait would probably be a

long time. I'll know more soon. I had three severe items last time:

Aspergillus, milk and tuna. The strange thing is that I didn't eat tuna very

often, and it just popped up as a severe.

Hi Zoe,

It's a matter of giving the digestive system a complete rest so it can be

healed. I would estimate a good month of juice fasting would be in order. My

main issue is, with so many intolerances, what exactly am I going to juice?! lol

All of my test results are mild, and they were on the last test too. They are

enough for me to have symptoms though. I think it's that I'm so sensitive to

what's going on, I notice very subtle changes that tell me I'm just not 100%.

And having gotten back to 100% before, I just can't be satisfied with less.

I'm fortunate that I've managed this well enough that I haven't had a major

flare-up or attack in nearly 4 years. I just get little symptoms like a hand

going numb or tingling feet or slight changes in my vision for a day or two til

the reaction clears out. But I try to stay on top it so that I don't slide down

that path to something major.

I think I'm going to take my chances with the L-glutamine. I'm also going to

get the ELISA done again sooner, instead of waiting another year. I'm going to

try to make the best of it and be happy with the fact that I can at least have

eggs and carrots once a week again! lol

I would try liver flushes, it is only a 1 day cleanse, so you don't have to

juice or fast etc. You will have to do several of them, but to me that is better

than having to fast. And it is better at eliminating allergies than fasting.

Just google it.

Thanks, will definitely check it out. Liver flush is one of those things that

has been on my list for quite a while, but never got to it.
