Food Allergies

We have taken our daughter to a Naturopath and she was tested for food allergies. Sure enough she tested positive for quite a few (wheat, soy, dairy, white beans, eggs, cabbage, shellfish...to name a few) The doctor told us that reworking her diet could stop her immune system from being in "overdrive." We are very excited to be able to DO something but it is so hard to manage the special diet with an active 6 yo. Has anyone else tried testing for allergies and had any results? Her regular pediatrician was less than supportive but was willing to go along with the other doctor. We are going to try it for the initial 3 weeks but would appreciate any advice!

alot of research is currently being conducted on Vitamin D and its impact on the immune system. if you google vitamin d and the immune or even autoimmune disease, you will see. i would have your child tested to see what her levels are. the current recommended level by the government is way too low. also google Dr. Mercola and his take on Vitamin D. he is a homeopath/md.good luck

We are going to see an Allergist on Tuesday this week to test my 5 year old for Allergies. Our family dr. was very willing to let us go there and thought it was a good idea when I brought it up at her well check last week.

My Kayla had her allergist appointment today....she has absolutely no allergies: food, airborne, mold, or pet! Everything they tested her for, came back normal! I guess it's a positive and a negative...I was hoping to maybe find something that I could alter that might help her AA but I did find out that she is allergic to absolutely NOTHING!!

LOL Thats good news. I can fully understand the desire to DO something though. Have you considered a Naturopath?

Hi folks! I know that this topic is old but this theme is important and I could not stay silent. Try to grill your regular meal if you have such problems. You may click here for info to read about gas grills under 500 and anything about grills. This is a very useful thing and you can grill even fruits and vegetables.
