Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks Patty , My blood was tested for IgG antibodies using the method for testing. I have an appointment Thursday with their nutritionist and they have given me a card to keep on my person with the details of what I allergic too. They have also given a copy of my results to my GP. Well maybe I am finally making a STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. Love Sue From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of glory2glory1401 Sent: 29 January 2008 14:43 Subject: Re: intolerence Hi Sue, I had a similar result on my food allergy test for Brewer's Yeast. Back in my really health-food-nutty-days, I used to eat brewer's yeast (for the B vitamins)by mixing it in with my wheat germ for breakfast. It was NASTY tasting, but I thought it was doing me good. It didn't last long, as I found other better tasting foods for breakfast, but I used it for at least several months. I haven't had brewer's yeast as a nutritional supplement in over 30 years, and yet it showed up on my food allergy tests. So, my thoughts are that you should take this test at face value, work with it by avoiding those foods recommended to be avoided, and see how much better you feel. You really have no choice if you want to find out the truth about this test or not. The way you feel is the only key that will prove it! Keep in mind that it takes awhile for antigens to clear out of your system, so give it at least several months, up to a year if possible. Were you told if this was an IgE or an IgG response? That would be important to know. If your allergy is an IgG allergy, you should be able to slowly reintroduce those foods after about a year and not see a reaction to them. If the response is an IgE response, it will be a permanent restriction on those foods. It's quite a list....it will be a challenge, but you can do it. We'll help you find good recipes and foods to work with. Alot of us are pursuing the gluten free diet, so you've got lots of company!
