Re: Food Allergy Testing Results...need advice asap

I would eliminate all of them for now. If you feel comfortable, once they have

been removed for a few weeks, you can reintroduce the ones with low numbers one

at a time and look for a reaction.

Alternative flours would be, potato, tapioca, quinoa, millet, amaranth, coconut,

almond...

with different responses.

the back skin prick shows immediate allergic response, the igg shows

sensitivities that can take several days to show.  The igg you can recover

from, usually by doing the rotation diet and staying away from the real high

ones for a while.  The skin tests (depending on how severe the results) may be

real allergies for a lifetime.

Our whole family had the RAST test done this month. Both of my daughters

are dx with Aspergers, OCD & ADHD. In addition to the back prick, I had a

follow up IGe blood test done. I am conflicted on which one is accurate, b/c

they came up with different responses.

Child #1 Back prick...egg yolk, corn, rice, grapes, tomatoes, brewer's yeast,

spinach.

Stool test came back with high food allergy & needed to get her tested for

celiac. Blood work came back with fish, peanuts, egg whites, & milk. Will get

results on celiac test tomorrow.

Child #2 back prick, soy, grapes, egg yolk, spinach, baker yeast, grapes. Stool

test came back with food allergy. No celiac test done. Blood work came back

with soy, egg whites & milk.

Again, both tests have conflicting results. I have eliminated everything but

milk & peanuts from the #1 child b/c I just found this out yesterday.

GFCF may be an option for us, but with my dd being allergic to corn/rice, I have

no idea what to substitute!

Any advice???

Thank you-
