Food allergy tests from blood contradicts SCD

[Guest guest]

Hi:

I've been on and off SCD for the past 3 years. For the most part it has worked

quite well, although recently it's not been working as well (probably because of

lots of stress these days).

Anyways, my question has to do with a food allergy test I recently took. My

staples on the SCD are eggs, yogurt, avocado, chicken and green beans all

legally prepared. Whenever I have some problems I go back to these foods and

things usually return to normal. With these foods there is very little bloating

and gas and my stomach usually feels settled and bowel movements are not that

urgent.

However, a recent food allergy test I took listed foods that produced the

strongest IgG (antibody/immunity) response and foods that did not. On the list

of foods that were " problematic " according to this test, were eggs, avocado,

chicken, and green beans in the order of decrease reactivity. How can this be

when these foods generally provide the most comfort? Conversely on the list of

food that did not produce an IgG response were beef, certain fruits, fish, and

RICE! I know personally that when I take rice it causes problems. So what's up

with this test? Is it just a bunch of BS? Has anyone else taken such a test

and produced such results that contradict SCD foods? I think the test involves

taking a sample of blood and exposing it to a panel of food antigens and then

doing an assay to measure antibody production (it cost quite a lot

unfortunately).

Thanks,

Bruce
