My Doc Is Going To Test Me For Food Allergies.....

I told him about the reaction I'm having to dairy and like many of you suggested he thinks it could be an allergy vs just intolerance. He's going to run blood tests on a few of my foods I'm reacting to.

Question, do I have to continue eating these foods for the tests to be accurate? He's going to test wheat as well.

The cool thing about this forum is when your advice is verified by my dr! I never thought I could actually have an allergy to milk but I am highly atopic to many environmental triggers so I wouldn't be surprised. My mother is allergic to strawberries and had an anaphalaxic reaction to them, allergies run in my family. You guys mentioned it right away!

So thanks for all the support and advice!

I don't know if you need to keep eating those foods for the test to be accurate. my allergist did skin tests and my food allergies came up right away fiercely.

This is the most recent (I believe). It talks about when to test and so on.

Stephanie posted this in another thread. It's a very good idea to read it before your allergy testing. It's from National Institute of Health so its a very reliable source for info. Might be more reliable than some allergy docs.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      Natural remedies

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
