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!

    The results from those tests are kinda disappointing, they seem to cast a wide net and reek of pseudoscience. I think you would have more success with meticulously documenting every ingredient you eat and then compare it to when you experience symptoms… could take a while but should be able to help you narrow it down

      Yup, doing this is very hard, especially in a country with a very industrialized food system.
