What kind of yogurt was used - commercial or fermented according to BTVC?

First of all an ELISA test does not test for allergies. It tests for

IgG sensitivities.

What that means is the things that show up are the things that are

probably leaking through the small gaps in the gut and the immune

system is reacting to them.

It does not mean that he is allergic to those things.

Has he been eating cheddar cheese?

Until the leaky gut is healed up, IgG tests will continue to show

sensitivities to the foods that are being consumed.

Some people see improvements by removing those foods. Others do not.

As for switching to goat's milk, that is a possible solution. Only

realize that if you test 3 months from now and he still has leaky gut,

the test will likely show a reaction to the goat's milk. It's just

the nature of the " beast " (leaky gut).
