Allergy testing/Was a yeast thing?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My child's RAST tst was also negative for all tested foods, including

wheat & dairy. However, the ELISA food panel, which looks at a

different type of reaction, showed many positives to a number of

foods - off the charts for wheat in particular. I based our

elimination foods and rotation foods on that test. However, many

listmates have found that even ELISA negative foods can cause

problems. This seems to be particularly true of soy and corn, the

proteins of which are similar to gluten and casein at a molecular

level. And then there are the yeast feeding foods and the high-

phenol foods and additives that drive some kids nuts....and on it

goes.

Many parents have reported that they need to eliminate or water down

juices because of diarrhea. And in general, reducing yeast feeding

foods is a good thing to do.

Good luck on your search.
