Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 My kids have an appt on the 29th with an allergist. What should I have him test for and what kinds of tests? What should I ask him as far as Gluten and Casein go? Is there any definate way to tell if you need to be on this diet? ===== Phyllis Parmelee Visit my website: THE 100 ACRE WOOD CHILD CARE - My Brand New Website Like my website?

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 OK, my son has been on this diet for a little over 16 months and doing great. I advise to have him allergy tested for foods so that you are not replacing the gluten and casein with other offending foods. I had IgE blood tests run. I know there is another kind and I really don't know what the difference is, sorry. They took vials from a tiny butterfly into LJ. He got tested for eggwhite corn orange beef pork shrimp tomato barley carrot chicken codfish crab cow milk oat peanut rye soybean strawberry tuna bakers yeast wheat cashews chocolate almond carob bean rice grape sweet potato white potato banana pear He also got tested for some environmental things (dust, mold, duck, feathers, etc) and he came up allergic to cats and dogs. My son LJ is on Medicaid. I took him to a regular allergist who wrote a prescription for me to go across the street to the lab inside the hospital and they ran the tests and sent the results to the allergist. I eliminated ALL foods that he showed even the slightest reaction to, thus allowing for the GFCF diet to work to its fullest potential. Good luck. I tend to stay clear of all these other fancy tests and meds, etc.. I didn't do any testing with my son prior to or now other than allergy testing. He gets a complete physical every year witha complete blood work done and other then that I stay clear of all, except for a 100% GFCF diet, no artificial colors or flavors and ne preservatives. , I don't do supps. or all these fancy tests, but the allergy test./ (LJs mom) on Long Island New York * On Tue, 14 Aug 2001 19:37:42 -0700 (PDT) thehundredacrewoodcc writes: > My kids have an appt on the 29th with an allergist. > What should I have him test for and what kinds of > tests? ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
