You mentioned allergy elimination ...

sounds like both of us have traveled the same path ...

after I tried the anti-candida route to no avail ... I tried the food allergy route. I had my blood tested by
http://www.immunolabs.com/
Supposedly this lab has the best food testing in the world from what I read. I did the testing and the diet (which was very tough like the anti-candida diet). I noticed no change in my symptoms ...

And with that it got me thinking ... since alot of 'good' foods were listed for things that I was allergic too; if my body was reacting to 'good' foods with a reaction why was it doing this ... perhaps if I got to the why (underlying cause) then that might help my symptoms ...

I did alot of reading on certain diets and how they could help people ... I remember there was something on TV where a child had hundreds of seizures a day and when the parents put him on a certain diet he only had a couple a week (it's been awhile and I cant remember the diets name).

So to me there seems to be alot of info out there on the power of certain diets but then again what is causing this reaction in people to have to succumb to these diets that are vastly restrictive and then have to stay on them indefinatley ...
and then of course you have those that have reactions to foods (via blood testing) but removal the foods from the diet doesnt help the symptoms ...

What has been your experience with the allergy food testing etc ...
