P.S. I see from their website that
this test supposedly finds
"immune-mediated food reactivity"
whatever that is. They distinguish
this from food intolerance, such
as lactose intolerance, okay fine.
At least I have my googling topic
for the day.
In any event, we have all heard of
allergic reactions to nuts and chocolate,
but to a host of basic food staples...no
I am not buying it.
My guess is that you will show a reaction
on their test to everything you ate a lot
of in the past week. So what? If it ain't
broke, don't fix it. Eat up.
<edit--wheat>
celiac disease, which may occur in 0.5% of the
population. This is an allergy to gluten, the protein
found in wheat and other grains. Food allergy is found
in fewer that 2% of the population although almost
20% claim to have food intolerances
Goodness, what did I do before google, ha!
I'll tell you what I have an allergy to--maple
tree pollen. Happily, it is not a food staple <g>. |
