Thanks ...

Do I understand that you are saying your test results did not correlate with

your reactions? In the next sentence you say your test score for milk was very

high and milk caused you rashes. Was this then the exception?

Dinah,

Yes, this is what I am saying. Test results did not correlate with

reactions. Yes, milk/cheese caused me a rash. For me, this was NOT a

big reaction. Upsetting my gut was a big reaction. I know this

sounds a little crazy but for twenty years I could not eat any animal

product whatever, not even butter, without a violent gut

reaction. Maybe milk is not a good example. But back before the 27

years, the test results for other proteins, say, had no correlation

with the rash, headache, malaise, whatever that I would get from the

foods - I might get none to a low reaction from a food that scored

high and conversely, quite a bit of reaction to a food that scored

low. Things like fruits and veggies I got test results indicating

allergies but (again, before the 27 years) I had no reactions to

eating them, except for a few things like strawberries and tomatoes

(rash again) but these are fairly common for a lot of people. In

other words, for me, I never got any useful information out of food

tests. Now, on pollens, animals, and chemicals, it made more sense

and the desensitizing drops did help when I took them. Since I have

discovered SCD I decided that the reason the allergy tests didn't

help much with foods is, of course, that we have a big other factor

going on with the gut bacteria.

Ahhh, I see. Makes sense of course. On 4 different kinds of food sensitivity

tests, the IGg tested 90 foods, the only thing positive was dairy. Same result

on the scratch test. Very confusing bec I have always enjoyed milk with no

problem until I came down with dysbiosis from anti-biotics eight years ago.

Presently I am intolerant to practically everything.

Thanks for your help...
