Should You Take an At-Home Food Sensitivity Test?

I have an oral food allergy to Nickel... if its dk green and leafy... or if it can sprout aka seed, nut, legume etc then i get hives and blisters.

When I eat buttery popcorn I get the worst cramps of my life, and bad gas. The cramps litterally have me on the ground holdning my stomach and can't move. That popcorn really messing up my insides. I really like popcorn, but the suffering is not worth it.

Why did my food alerg start after I had each one of my kids??

I had my dog tested. She was sens to all proteins other than beef and fish. Plastic to mold. Once she was exposed to the things on her list she stopped constant scratching!

Of course 'doctors' may not be on board cause God forbid you actually 'heal' yourself from following what these tests reveal. Now how are they going to make money when you stop going to see these glorified drug pushers?

“Don’t treat the results, treat the patient”. Wise words.

thank you!! you just saved me $400

Wait... Doctors say go see doctors... Bet

This is like you ask mechanic should you order manual for your car and repair it by yourself lol

Wow only one woman and she’s POC. Represent. But notice how she was mostly quiet and could barely get a word in edgewise...

Ok, ill go to the doctor when healthcare is affordable. I cant go to the doctor and pay for all this stuff when i dont have insurance bc that makes it go from say for example $20,000+ for check ups and referrals when if i had healthcare to $40,000+ if i didnt have healthcare.

And what if your gi has done a bunch of tests w no answer.... worth a shot

Yea trust TV doctors who tell you if aren’t reacting to any food gastrointestinally then don’t worry about it. All the other health problems you have have nothing to do with what your diet consists of... yea right...

Does anyone know hear of a good allergist and immunologist in Miami?

Stop the vacines on childhood time
U never will have alergies
I raised up as a kid in albania
I remember noone had allergies in my claas
Maybe 1 person or 3 in school
Now everyone almost
Stop putting chemicals on the food

1. Vegans do eat protein
2. The food sensitivity test doesn’t test for allergies, it test for sensitivities.
3. Why would you do one of the test if you are experience no symptoms?

If you want to take medications for the rest of your life go see an MD doctor If you want to cure your disease and heal from the inside out go see a holistic naturopathic functional medicine doctor. MD's are just legal drug pushers they don't know anything about healing a person long-term.

Food diary ?

This is making me hungry

I'm so glad you have made this point. I was tempted to try them out of desperation! Now I'm sticking with food diary !

oh yes a "food diary"

Could it be it detecting an intolerance to gmo ? Or pesticides used in Majority of foods ? Just wondering

I took the ALCAT food sensitivity test at my doctors office about 3 months ago at her recommendation. I had sought new medical treatment for my stomach issues that my regular doctor and gastrologist couldn’t resolve. They kept prescribing PPI’s even after having an upper GI as I had Gerd for years but was able to control with over the counter meds or prescription PPI’s. For some reason after I stopped drinking alcohol and lost about 30 pounds in about a 9 month period and seemed to be the healthiest I had been in 25 years I started getting heart burn so bad that I would vomit. This happened daily for weeks until I learned about the use of apple cider vinegar. This was a game changer for me as I was now able to prevent the heart burn and vomiting by taking 3 doses of ACV daily. One dose around each meal. I used this method for at least 6 months but would still occasional get sick/vomit. This is when I decided to change doctors and was encouraged to do the ALCAT test. I was also put on a Betain HCL supplement that creates stomach acid (learned that my body was not producing enough stomach acid). I paid for the more expensive test for the larger food group testing. When I got the results I wanted to cry because it showed a sensitivity to so many foods that I eat on a daily basis. I was then told not to eat these foods for at least 6 months and maybe as long as a year. Other foods I was told not to eat but for only 1 day a week and others I could rotate every 4 days (this was a little more strict than the standard ALCAT test recommendations). It had food recommendations of items I never even heard of like different grains (Amaranth, millet, buckwheat, tuff) after about 2 months of following the recommend items to avoid and new foods I could consume I am excited to say that I haven’t been sick a single time. I have been able to ween myself off of the Betain HCL supplement. I am scheduled to go back to the doctor to have additional food items introduced to my diet. I have lost about another 10 pounds, although not intentional but I couldn’t eat dairy, gluten, sugar…. I have learned a whole new way of cooking and eating. Its been like a lifestyle change. I used to eat out daily but now maybe 1x per week. I am about to turn 50 and have never felt healthier and am almost down to my weight when I was 18 years old.

This tv show is full of scumbags

Wow this guy is a doctor and doesn’t know that vegan foods such as nuts, seeds, beans, even potatoes contain protein 🤦🏽‍♀️i mean the list goes on and on… the irony on how uneducated he is, he should demand his money back from all the schools he attended 🤣

A patient treated is a missed income opportunity. Do not listen to those doctors.

Pharma shills promote pharma products. Every MD i've been to about my issue doesn't give a shit and just tests for the low hanging fruit or assumes some sort of hypochondria. No. Doctors are so far up their own asses with their "education" they think they stop listening to their patients.

Doctors: You don’t need to change your diet to be healthy, because all healthy foods are healthy for all people.
Couldn’t be more wrong. Doctors that are multi millionaires aren’t really worth listening to.

Good thing I watched this before I bought Everlywell.

Did he really say 'your vegan so you're not eating any proteins'? So basically we are listening to an option of somebody who knows nothing about nutrition as it is well researched that vegans can get plenty of protein through their diet.

Annoying entertainment. Our GME training in hospitals avoid this talk.

The fact this doctor literally told him "you're basically vegan now, so you don't eat proteins" invalidates anything he says afterwards hahaa

Yes!!! Treat the patient NOT the results!
I had these tests done in a time in my life I was at my lowest due to PSTD and my results showed I shouldn't be eating anything I was eating!! Including corn. Well, they allergenist scared me so bad and instilled so my fear into me I now am done to zero safe foods. ZERO! I haven't eaten in 2 weeks. I have been living this way for almost 10 yrs since I did the tests. And I have no idea how to change this. I have tried so many modalities with a little progress and then back to where I was. It's so crazy and not a single doctor wants to help me. They just keep sending me to other doctors, other specialists. I am torn!

Had all GIVE symptoms ignored for months then years till passed puy hematemisis conventional medicine said i wasnt even sick! Would trust these doctors again had to research all symtoms after got out had crp over 40 still sick finally found food sensitivities plus heavy metal and other tests all showed positive for toxins and many allergies plus autoimmune and high cortisol at odd times yet medical professionals missed every health issues i had as kept denying the symptoms like they do with so many of us then complain when we have no choice to look elsewhere for answers! Plants are medicine and many natural remedies come without twenty or so health destroying side effects! Raw food diet vegetables berries leafy greens fruits heal your body better than chemical pills scrap man made junk learn about healing your body with good nutrition cutting out the crappie avoiding toxins in diet and pharma - the drs made me sicker not better consider ibwas lucky to survive their 'care' still I'm very well read on disease and ecgs and stomach pain causes and disease now and the doctors denying patients actual health care!

Whatever these clowns say do the opposite

Thanks, this just saved me $180

U don't know who to believe in the medical industry

If you feel bad go see a doctor, doctor says: I don’t know what’s causing it and gives you a referral 3 moths later gets an appointment to get refer again for an actual test …

Makes sense, a bunch of quacks telling people to go see a doctor for prescription drugs instead of researching the root cause.
