Are there medical tests that can be done to test for food allergies? Not seasonal or mites, dust or pets just for food?

okay great i see a hollistic doctor, i'll ask about these tests, thanks!

ok? and you know this is not true on what basis?

Anyone with internet access can easily google this and discover that it is not true. It's not rocket science. Gluten does not make your "gut leak". If your gut leaked, you would die from the poison entering your bloodstream. Elm, aloe, and green tea, while helpful in some areas, do not heal your "gut". Only surgery can close up holes in your intestine. LDN and no gluten have nothing to do with stopping gut lining damage.

I know what she is saying she is referring to LGS Leaky Gut Syndrome millions on people have this condition and I know it to be true that eating gluten , if that is your problem, can make Leaky gut worse, and that stopping the problem or using supplements or neutraceuticals as they're commmonly called will help make the situation better

Right. "Leaky gut syndrome is based upon a theory on which there is a condition of altered or damaged bowel lining, caused by toxins, poor diet, parasites, infection or medications, which has led to increased permeability of the gut wall to substances which normally remain isolated in the lumen, away from the body's internal circulatory or interstitial areas. Although commonly diagnosed by alternative practitioners, leaky gut syndrome is not a recognized medical condition Please, re read the last sentence. Leaky Gut Syndrome is NOT a recogized medical condition. Which means some rip off alternative quack made it up to steal money from undereducated people.

i understand what you are saying . on the otherhand do you feel the same way about Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndromes? Not all medical practioners recognize these as real syndromes either but I know they are I have them and I see a homeopathic doctor who happens to be very knowledgable and amazing at helping me

I am not in any way discrediting alternative medicine, or its practioners. I feel that the honest ones do a great service to the public, and I am a total believer in herbals for some issues. My point was that LGS simply does not exist, and the alterative rip off practioners that claim it does in order to steal from and give false hope to people who trust them are the scum of the earth.

Gotcha

yes, an allergy doc can do scratch tests for food allergies. Just know that it takes a while and, yes, most insurances DO cover them. And it's for about 50+ types of foods. Go see an MD, not a naturalist. A "naturalist" homeopath doctor said my nephew was allergic to things if he held up a vial near my nephew and he raised his arm - he was a BABY at the time.... voodoo mumbo jumbo, I tell you.
