Hair and saliva analysis

[Calm]

We're getting these done for DS tomorrow. Has anyone found success after one or both of these tests and then eliminating the offenders?

For allergies? I've never heard of this. Please let us know how it goes.

i've only heard of hair sampling r/t metal toxicity, which can contribute to allergies and leaky gut. i dont know anything about saliva testing. please share what you know!

We're doing this next week too with a nutritionist.
We have to get samples of hair, saliva, urine, stool and blood.

I've never heard of that for allergies either. I was considering doing the hair test for DD and I to check for heavy metals, to see if that was a contributor to our problem.

results were: allergic to citrus, pineapple, dairy and wheat.

My blog has details.

I just read your blog- you have some fantastic information on there. I have a couple questions-

You mentioned that the probiotics were only working for a couple weeks, and then just feeding the yeast. How/why would probiotics feed yeast? I thought they were supposed to kill off (or crowd out) the bad bacteria.

Can you tell us more about the hair/saliva testing for allergies? Apparently we don't have that here in the states. I would love to know more about it though!! Are there any links you can give us?

Ooh- and I saw that you're using Hope's Relief. I've been using it too- it's pretty good stuff! Too bad they don't sell it here... had it shipped from Australia.
