This was a life changing experience for me 5 years ago, discovered a plethora of food allergies i never suspected - who knew spinach and lettuce would be my top allergens!

Same for my daughter! She has always hated pizza, sandwiches, bagels, muffins (basically any and all breads). Got her tested a little over a year ago and learned that she has a life-threatening allergy to yeast, plus strong allergies to wheat, barley, and oats. Everyone thought she was a picky eater when it was actually self-preservation.

That’s how my daughter was with peanuts. Tried to give her peanut butter multiple times. She would spit it out and make face. We figured she didn’t like it. Surprise surprise she is severely allergic. Doctors said she was probably spitting out due to it making her mouth itch.

I’m getting it done to hopefully find a way to better treat my Eosinophilic Esophagitis better, so we’ll see what’s happening

It bothered me because I paid $550 out of pocket for it and all they told me was you have intolerances not allergies. You should go to a dietician. Money straight to the toilet.

It’s just time consuming and I’ve been off my over the counter meds for a week so I’m not feeling great already.
