Re: question about food allergy test - ELISA test/Jody

[Guest guest]

He's been eating cheddar cheese all along. So, that's why I'm a bit

confused why cheddar cheese comes up to be 0. He seldome drinks milk,

only rarely he might still request cereal, but it shows up as 3. I

know, I'm still not 100% SCD. I'm trying to get it there. But ever

since I started using almond flour and using honey instead of sugar

and eliminate soy sauce, and doing the homemade 24-hr yogurt, his

eating repertoire has increased, trying many more foods and the SCD

recipes too. He still refuses any veggies. I need to do the juicing

again, but getting lazy lately.
