allergy or sensitivity?

[Guest guest]

Many diabetics have family members who suffer with allergies and food

sensitivities. In fact many diabetics themselves suffer with them. As a result

of having seveeral family members with allergies and food sensitivities, When I

am surfing the internet I am always on the lookout for an article or such that

may help them. While doing this I ran into a specialized test called the MRT

test, which tests for allergies and sensitivities, such as gluten sensitivities

whether or not one has a full blown alergic reaction. I discovered a person, a

dietician who offers the test in Seattle, Washington and I gave her a telephone

call. She had a list of dieticians who offer this test in conjunction with a

physician, who can order the test. I don't know if it would be covered by

insurance or not. If you have a family member who suffers from diabetes, gluten

allergy or sensitivity, migraine headaches or fibromilgia or chronic fatigue

syndrome, you might want to tell them about this test.

Of course a long time ago I learned about a test for lactose intolerance, since

my daughter suffers with it. I always thought she was a strange kid, since she

never liked ice cream. She would rather eat a dill pickle instead of enjoying

ice cream with the other kids. My doctor suggested the test for lactose

intolerance, which I gave my daughter. It is a simple test. Just have a person

drink eight ounces of milk. If this makes them have a belly ache or feel like

throwing up or even throws up , then they are lactose intolerent. Once they know

this all they have to do to avoid the problem is avoid milk for the most part.

The funny thing about the telephone call to the dietician is I learned my very

own dietician in Gainesville Georgia can have the same test done.

It's a small world.
