Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'm confused. AFter reading this post by Jodi: " 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. Until the leaky gut is healed up, IgG tests will continue to show sensitivities to the foods that are being consumed. " I'm wondering if having my daughter tested for allergies will help us at all. I mean, if she tests positive to a certain food, that doesn't neccesarily mean that she's NOT going to react to others right? So ... what good is it really? I am only now learning about all of this IgG, Ig(another letter) stuff so excuse my ignorance. I wanted her tested because I thought that'd at least give us a guideline you know? Right now I'm so afraid to try new foods because this diet is working SO WELL! Is this testing a waste of time? Thanks, ~Terri, SCD 2 weeks and 4 days!
