Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 Baby steps! I did it one infraction at a time. Before enzymes, my son's reactions were so obvious that I knew I'd be aware if the enzymes were not working. He's been off the diet for over five months now and doing far better than when he was on the diet with no enzymes. The enzymes and the diet accomplish the same thing - no peptides. > , > > Thanks for the non-advice. Yes, we are taking enzymes and when we forget, the stools have so much undigested food in it its disgusting. His appetite is really taking off now (no appetite before enzymes) and I'm frustrated that there is less on the menu to feed him. I'm beginning to lean toward not being too strict about the whole thing. > > Lori > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my chemical sensitivities are not so bad. I survived a perfumed hair tint last week. Usually this would make my blood sugar drop and go crazy. This time it was certainly better, but I don't want to get my hopes up too early. I've had these food and chemical sensitivities for 24 years. > Rosemary.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 thank you , such good information, and important. sally rheumatic food sensitivities The single best thing I did for the excruciating pain that I had daily was to have a test done by Meridian Valley Labs (www.meridianvalleylab.com) for food sensitivies. I am in no way associated with the lab. The lab results revealed that I was very sensitive to dairy and eggs as well a moderately sensitive to other things. I figured that I was sensitive to dairy when I could hardly get out of bed after I ate daily for a week my husband's homemade Greek yogurt.....although delicious and supposedly beneficial for the gut lining while taking antibiotics. We were not buying the commercial yogurts due to sugar, etc. I was reluctant to take this test which costs in the $300+ range, because I had no sniffles or cough and had associated that with food sensitivities. It took almost a month before I felt the difference. That is why it is difficult to do the elimination diet. Going off a food for 5 days told me nothing. After 7 months of feeling progressively better, I took the ELISA allergy test (www.elisaact.com) ; this one cost me $800. It showed no adverse reactions to dairy or eggs, but I seem to be sensitive to all plastics, and practically everything out there. You do get a free 30 minute consultation which I found very helpful. I take betaine with every meal and also take Wobenzyme between meals. I hesitate to add much else here because I am not cured. I still have pain, but it is manageable and I am not totally drained by the pain of RA. I eat meat, fish & vegetables. Anyone out there studying metabolic typing, the acid/alkaline balance, and fermented food? It is my current pursuit. There is so much more to my current program, but reducing the pain was liberating. Don't give up hope and don't be as stubborn as I was about allergy/sensitivity testing. My hope is that we all find our way to vibrant health.
