I went for a Food Intolerance Test

I went to my healthshop and had a food intolerance test done on Friday. I cant lose weight no matter how hard I try! Loads of exercise, low fat diet, little alcohol does nothing. The results showed an intolerance to wheat, tomatoes, acidic fruits, rich dairy and certain vegetables. Theres me thinking I was eating healthily and some of these foods are making me put on weight as i cant digest them.
Ive been out and bought some genius bread cos i cant give up my buttes and eggs on toast!
Dont know how im gonna get on not having my beloved spag bol, chilli and mexican lasagne but I cant so I'll have to get used to it.
She gave me some lepicol to make me "go" better, an enzyme to build up energy and multi vits to give me a boost as i wasnt absorbing nutrients etc because of the toxins.
I can only see what happens by eliminating these certain foods, hopefully it'll work.
I dont feel anything yet but its been 2 days since I started it but it'd be interested to see if anyone has?

I had a blood test done earlier this year that tested my IgG (intolerances) and IgE (allergies) responses to 120 food antigens and was shocked to find out that I had a very severe food intolerance to egg and dairy! I had no idea as I ate those items everyday believing, like you, that they were healthy; but instead they were the cause of my extreme fatigue, gastrointestinal issues, acne, and sinus pain/issues. My doctor told me to cut out those foods for 30 days and I'd feel like a new woman.
Within the first 24 hours of cutting out the dairy and eggs, I could breathe out of my nose clearly for the first time in years and my constant low-grade sinus headache went away! By the end of the 30 days, I got my energy back, more focused-clear thinking, my face cleared up, and I had lost 10 pounds! As much as I LOVED cheese and other dairy products--and believe me, it was hard to give up, I don't miss it and I wouldn't go back because I feel so much better now.
If you do some research you'll find that food allergies and intolerances are very common and that living life with them is very doable. Good luck!0
