I have suspected dh, dd and I might each have some issue with food intolerance or allergy. However, we have had more urgent matters to look into, so I have not done much about these suspicions. The other day I was in a health food store and they had some Food Detective kits on sale, so I bought a kit for dh and myself.Â
Â
Having googled these tests, I found out that they measure igG, only, so some people were complaining that they don't measure the right thing (igE). Do these results actually tell us anything worthwhile?
Â
According to this test, dh and both have a problem with dairy and eggs. That was about it for dh, allthough his wheat and rye also had some color. I also have problems with three different nuts as well as soybean. First of all, I am already gluten free, so I guess that would not show on the test even if I had issues. However, I never had soy, so I don't get how the test could then show that...
Â
Should I take these results seriously at all? It would be HUGE for me not to have milk and eggs, as I am already totally grain free and low carb due to blood sugar and other issues. Yet, the test must have really reacted to something.... It would take quite a bit to convince dh to stop having dairy and eggs (and as he also feels better low carb, this would be difficult financially), so I need to know if I should do that. Also, I have eggs every morning, as it keeps me going for hours and makes me feel, I really think, good. I really don't want to stop having these due to taking a false test seriously. If I truly do have a problem, however, I will stop having them.
Â
I would appreciate any thoughts.
