I’ve been killing myself trying to figure out what’s going on with my gut. I have a sensitivity to SOMETHING but elimination diets aren’t pinpointing the source. Has anyone used one of these type of tests? My doctor said it’s a scam but I figured the internet wouldn’t, no… COULDN’T lie to me. Thanks Lemmings!
I don’t know if that specific option is a scam, but I highly recommend going to an actual allergist. I went and did the skin tests but didn’t get much in the way of reactions, so they did a blood test and found a lot more allergies that didn’t show on the skin. From what I understand you can ask them for a full food allergy panel and they would test for the usual suspects, plus any they/you want to add in.
My sister did the blood test and found tons of food allergies she had no idea were issues for her.
Worth trying with an actual specialist who can tailor to your needs (and local allergens!)
