Re: ELISA food allergy test

[Guest guest]

The food intolerance test is useless and just a sham money maker. I had one

done. At the time I the foods I was eating almost everyday were avocados, green

beans, chicken and eggs. These foods always heal me and get be back to ground

zero in terms of inflammation. And what did the test say I was allergic to?

Eggs, green beans, avocados, and chicken. Complete BS. Whatever food you

happen to be consuming a lot of at the time, whether it is truly allergenic or

not, the test will show as positive. It's a meaningless test.

this on the BTVC website regarding allergies:

me nothing except that milk made me feel bloated so I didn't have any dairy. In

reading the above from the Listserve I decided to go ahead and consume eggs,

believing that it wasn't my allergies making me sick, it was first of all the

imbalance of microorganisms in the gut. I've been eating eggs right from the

start and never feel a direct upset from it. I can tell when something really

bothers me like nut flour. Within an hour or two I have digestive upset. Am I

safe to assume that I can continue eating eggs and that any sensitivity I may

have will work itself out after some time on SCD?
