Allergy Testing...

So on Saturday i went to have a homeopatic allergy test done, this was after getting absolutly no where with my GP who just told me that i had IBS and they cant tell me why and if i want to lose weight i need to run for a least an hour a day 5 days a week,

I felt totally fobbed off and thought if a medical professional wont help me then maybe this herbal lady will....and she really has opened my eyes.

she started off by taking my details and then asked me when i started noticing the weight increase and bloating and then she discovered that its something that started up nearly 5 years ago and has been festering. she tested me on over 80 different things and turns out that i have an intollerance to: Brewers Yeast, normal yeast, wheat, rye, cabbage, cauliflower, brocolli, turkey, apricots and pet hair. So since saturday iv avoided these things, reading lables on everything and for the first time in a very long time i have got energy and have been able to actually focus on my work this afternoon.

usually after lunch im so lathargic i cant concentrate on anything, but i feel alert, and feel like my day is not over at all yet even though i only have 15 mins left. I dont know if its a mental thing but i would just like to say if anyone has been feeling out of the ordinary and cant point their finger at the cause then deffinatley go and get tested for allergies. There was no needles, just simple science and i have a follow up with her again in a month where she will try remedies to de-sensitise me to pet hair and wheat. But to be honest there are so many products around that cut these things out now that i dont think ill struggle at all )

It's amazing what those allergies can do to you. I have a string of intolerances that I had to discover for myself through elimination. For me it's wheat, gluten, corn, oats, milk/dairy, and refined sugar. Without those things I feel fantastic. With those things I ache, have no muscle strength, bone deep pain, migraines, weight gain, and extreme fatigue. I'll happily live without those things to feel like I do now. So glad you found yours!

Glad they found out what's going on with you. I've had similar issues for years and now it's getting worse (in the last year), I have a certain red dye intolerance plus I have lactose intolerance (confirmed by elimination).

I'm actually going to my GP this Thursday. If she doesn't do the testing I need I will look into homeopathic allergy testing. I have been suffering from bloating and costipation most of my life. My Gastrointestinal doctor just simply told me I need to take a very expensive pill. That would only help relieve the symptoms not solve the problem. I started paying attention to my body and realized that I can't eat bread things. I get terrible gas that hurts my heart. I lost 12lbs just by eliminating breaded things. I too feel more energetic.
