Now What do I Do? Food Allergy Test Came Back

[Guest guest]

Our RAST test came back, we tested 13 items and almost everything

came back borderline or allergic. Definetly casein, whey and cow's

milk (was no great shock but I feel horrible giving him milk for so

long but now we're cf so it really is no biggie), corn ( & ^%^*$%^*$),

wheat (no biggie since we're gf anyhow), soy & $^ & *%$ & *%. Rice,

barley, peanut, cashew, cod and shellfish came back borderline, and

we're going to test again for potatoes, fruits and chocolate next

time to see if there's anything else.

WHAT THE HECK DO I FEED THIS POOR KID? Any suggestions on other tests

to run?

Now I MUST be on a rotation diet right and use all corn-free and soy-

free mixes right?

Arugh!

This MAY explain why his casein peptides were very high in the lab

results after being cf for almost 2 weeks after sending the sample in.

Thanks for any input!

: I know the feeling. tested at least mildly positive to every single

: food they tested for! We only removed 3's and above, which were bananas,

: eggs, chicken, turkey, pork, corn, shrimp, and all shellfish. We have not

: tested for soy, potatoes, or rice yet! The corn was the hardest to remove,

: and I'm still not sure we have it 100%. It seems that everything that is

: gluten and casein free has corn or soy, or both. I buy fresh veggies from

: the farmer's market and fry a lot stuff in safflower, olive, or sunflower

: oil. Hebrews National hot dogs, about twice a week. I make almond butter

and

: pecan butter in my food processor, homemade pancakes for bread. I try to

: rotate as much as possible, but the more our options are cut the less we

are

: able to rotate. I know it seems so overwhelming at first but you will get

: the hang of it, and there is hope..... he will probably recover from some

of

: these allergies when his gut has had some time to heal. Good luck.
