Allergy Testing & Gut Testing... need advice!

Hi All,

I'm getting geared up for more testing and I want advice and input from those who have done it...

I want to get Food Allergy Testing done and I want to know what Labs and tests people recommend? I have heard that some allergy tesing like the scratch test is very unreliable; and since I have not done any of this for years it will be good to know the latest and greatest.

I also want to get Gut Testing done and I also want to know what Labs and tests people recommend? I have looked at Myhills site and seen that she does some, but I was hoping to work with a US lab it that is possible.

Once I get my virals tests done this month hopefully I will try and get to the Gut / Allergy stuff....

Hugs and Love,
Hope

I recommend seeing a NAET practitioner to deal with your allergies. I tried the normal allergy specialist route, which was seeing him every month to get a dose of the allergen onto my skin, it worked but it cost $$ heaps and was 1 allergen at a time. Once a month for a year or something stupid. NAET, most of my sensitivities have cleared and i've seen her 8 times? So cost me like.. $400 all up maybe.

Probably better to have a list of things you are allergic to to go through first though, caledonia, just to save time and be specific.

She worked on things like issues with serotonin and thyroid hormones etc. too.
