Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 That's a good question. Our homeopath says that cream is different in composition than milk, etc, and seems to be well tolerated by folks who can't have regular dairy. I'm guessing that its something to do with the fat although I have no scientific basis for it...that's why I also think the butter is fine. > > > > > > does anyone with seizures have food senstitivites? and what are the > > foods? > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 i can't believe your dd is sensitive to cashews too. what happens to her when she eats them. it makes my dd wild and mean.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 What's weird is that I didn't notice a reaction. She hardly ever eats them but her testing came back with cashews on it as a sensitivity. When she eats soy, tomato sauce and popcorn though I think she was having really bad tummyaches...I didn't realize I was giving her the wrong foods until the testing. I stopped the foods and she hasn't been bad like that again. Her meds seem to bother her stomach though - she's on Lamictal and Zarontin. > > > > > > does anyone with seizures have food senstitivites? and what are the > > foods? > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 what kind of food testing did you do. how bad were her seizures before the meds. how old is she? do the meds work?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Re: ALCAT. I was just exchanging emails back and forth with one 36-yo female with multiple food allergies. She said that her doctor sent in 2 tests for her using different names, and they came back with different allergies. So combined, the tests showed that she had problems with 70+ foods. So I would say that this one's still not very accurate, but it can probably give you a guideline/start on what to eliminate.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 the tests are useless unless you know what IgE allergies exist.  did Alcat and Great Plains...like Great Plains more, but they missed all IgE allergies and those i had run privately with 2 docs...without those tests all hell would have broken loose. lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About eggs, no human body can be sensitive " in a bad way " to good " unadultered " foods. So you can be assured it is a healing reaction, unless your eggs are contaminated.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Or you can use a newer test like LEAP (www.nowleap.com). I have used it with my daughter Tasya and have had great, clinically relevant results. I have posted her results on my blog site http://www.markschauss.com/?s=LEAP. It helped reduce her seizures by around 80% and has vastly improved her quality of life. Of all the tests on food sensitivities I have seen, this one is the most accurate and reproduceable in my opinion.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Yes it is. To do the full 150 food and food additive panel it takes about 4 or 5 vials. Not inconsequential but so worth it. BTW in order to be transparent here, if the test is ordered through a practitioner who works with me I do make a percentage commission on the test. If it is ordered by someone I did not recommend, I make nothing. Either way I think that it is a valuable test as it really helped my daughter (and myself). I just believe that full disclosure on things like this is important so people can make an educated decision.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I wonder if its similiar to the ALCAT or ELIZA test that was already done??

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 LEAP was developed by the same person (Dr. Pisula) who developed ALCAT but he patented a newer process in 2002 while ALCAT is based on his patents from the 1980s. In my opinion, it is a better test, more accurate. > > > > > > > > > > > > > what are the best tests for food sensitivities besides > > actually > > > > > > > ingesting the foods.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hi there, Could you give us a name so we know what to call you? You start by eating small amounts of egg at a time. You can start with 1/2 tsp. at a time. Eggs contain sulphur which is very necessary for the body to heal and, in some people, it can cause healing reactions. This is the " sensitivity " you are talking about, which is actually beneficial for the body. Good luck! Group Moderator > > My 2 small daughters and I recently had food intolerance tests and the results indicate that we have an immune response to eggs. Not necessarily allergies but food sensitivities. I believe that all 3 of us suffer from candida and I would like to start a candida diet. Even though we have this response, do we proceed with eggs and the egg drink? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 The single best thing I did for the excruciating pain that I had daily was to have a test done by Meridian Valley Labs (www.meridianvalleylab.com) for food sensitivies. I am in no way associated with the lab. The lab results revealed that I was very sensitive to dairy and eggs as well a moderately sensitive to other things. I figured that I was sensitive to dairy when I could hardly get out of bed after I ate daily for a week my husband's homemade Greek yogurt.....although delicious and supposedly beneficial for the gut lining while taking antibiotics. We were not buying the commercial yogurts due to sugar, etc. I was reluctant to take this test which costs in the $300+ range, because I had no sniffles or cough and had associated that with food sensitivities. It took almost a month before I felt the difference. That is why it is difficult to do the elimination diet. Going off a food for 5 days told me nothing. After 7 months of feeling progressively better, I took the ELISA allergy test (www.elisaact.com) ; this one cost me $800. It showed no adverse reactions to dairy or eggs, but I seem to be sensitive to all plastics, and practically everything out there. You do get a free 30 minute consultation which I found very helpful. I take betaine with every meal and also take Wobenzyme between meals. I hesitate to add much else here because I am not cured. I still have pain, but it is manageable and I am not totally drained by the pain of RA. I eat meat, fish & vegetables. Anyone out there studying metabolic typing, the acid/alkaline balance, and fermented food? It is my current pursuit. There is so much more to my current program, but reducing the pain was liberating. Don't give up hope and don't be as stubborn as I was about allergy/sensitivity testing. My hope is that we all find our way to vibrant health.
