Wed, 12 Aug 2009 23:24:21 +0000 http://blog.sagelab.com/?p=101#comment-3002 The only known allergies that I have were identified some ten years ago by a local Dr. They were shellfish and aspirin. I've found that when I eat pinto beans (an enzyme I'm told), sometimes a few minutes later I regurgitate. An ingredient in sausages will sometimes make me ill, even the smell. Not in the recent past, but long ago, eggs would sometimes cause me to regurg. If I mistakenly eat raw onions, they will send me running! I've always mentioned to my doctors in the past, that a foreign substance was in my body. (Early 80's) They laughed and said my complaints were kin to a hypochondriac. This terribly saddened me. They wouldn't run any tests of any kind. I also had an itch/twitch in my buttocks area, and it is still there, that seemingly migrates over my body, that I can only describe as irritable, pulsating, itchy. I even asked if parasites could invade your body. Though I've never had a full body MRI, I feel that a thorough test of this kind, would reveal some unanswered questions I've had for many years. And, just as stated above, it feels like it lies dormant and then suddenly starts to quiver. It is soooo irritable!!! Can somebody please help me. It's no way I can get to it to stop it, when it starts. The only known allergies that I have were identified some ten years ago by a local Dr. They were shellfish and aspirin.

I believe the sooner the better if the child may be considered to be on the spectrum. Joan,

After a period of time our immune system starts to recognize the proteins that we are taking in to be harmful, mainly because it is absorbing the same things over and over. Eventually what happens is that the immune system starts fighting against these proteins. This is when we will start feeling ill, worn down, fatigue, or whatever the case may be. Next thing you know we are going to the doctor's office and hope he/she can get us back on our feet again BUT low and behold it seems as though the symptoms are usually just masked with another side effect, so we go and see the doctor again. This can be relieved with knowing what your body will and won't absorb, which in turn would be food allergies/sensitivities. We can either keep footing the bill for the office visits or we can cut to the chase and get on the road to wellness. Glenn,

I have severe digestive problems and my diet is so limited by my symptoms to begin with that I'm finding it very difficult to follow the allergy-free diet long enough to see if it even makes a difference. Anyone else have this problem? Is it guaranteed to make a difference if you follow for the 6 weeks? I did the testing through Sage in August and am apparently sensitive to a TON of stuff.

I decided to be tested for food allergies and came up with 13 big ones. I am very careful about what I eat and I do not suffer a headache. The only thing in my case I had to completely change my way of eating and eating out is very tough. But I love to cook and that is a good thing.

Every time I stop the Zyrtec to see if my hives are going away - I get horrible itching. Found from study that it is actually Zyrtec withdrawal. I am on day 6 of no Zyrtec and by day 15 I am told should be feeling better. I will be in much better shape to start the reintroduction phase! I have lost 10 pounds as of today. Swelling in my face, chest and stomach has gone down a lot.

The itching was horrible and he couldn't sleep. I had the food allergy testing done and changed his diet. He used to have to use prescription cream in the AM and PM (all over).

My joints were so bad I felt like a tooth pick ready to snap. I had several cortocosteroid injections in my spine, shoulders, elbow, knees, thumb and could barely move on some days. I found that bananas were my most TOXIC food! I had been eating bananas since high school almost every day. Now, I feel forty, not 80!! It really worked for me.
