I appreciate your response. We have not done food rotation ever; in fact the

items that tested positive on IgG test tended to be ones we eat a lot of, even

such things as broccoli, carrots, and green peppers in addition to all potatoes,

wheat, milk, etc.

How long should I keep him off of the reacted foods before trying them again

after starting SCD?

Hi.

The most important thing you can do is to document changes in your

particular mom's physical exam, behavior, stools, sleep, etc, related to the

consumption of the foods in question. People have different ways of doing

this. Avoiding it for about a week and then reintroducing it for a few days

is one of them. You are the best detective that you child has. It is right

that these tests do not always show if you have an allergy IgG or IgE. You

must note that the test mostly fails in detecting but if it detects it you

do have it at some degree, even if is not as apparent to you as the test

shows.

What we did with our IgG positive foods, and what most tests recommend is to

spread them and or avoid them depending on how strong of a response you had

to them clinically or in the test. Then reintroduce them or add them more

often.

Tell me, do you rotate foods? This might be a good idea while you are

positive for foods, both IgG and IgE. Remember, if anaphylaxis has been a

response for IgE's, you must not use that food ever again. The IgG's are

going to go away as you progress on the gut healing. Even though IgE's are

supposed to be there forever, we have seen, that with proper gut healing and

strict adherence to an anti inflammatory diet, the responses diminish and

sometimes are not even noticeable anymore., so it is worth it to do it

right.

In any case, documentation is key so that you know where you are at and will

tell you what the next best step is. You DAN doc is supposed to give you

dietary recommendations, ask him.

best,
