Hi everyone, I was thinking of getting a food sensitivity test done to know right away what I should avoid, from pinnertest. They seem really reliable. I was curious, would taking a good digestive enzyme like enzymedica, or something like Wobenzym that calms inflammation, be enough to stop food sensitivity symptoms, or does the food need to be avoided completely.

I know I still need to follow the candida diet to get rid of it but if one wants to heal leaky gut, do they need to avoid their food sensitivities? Or just general inflammatory foods.. thanks

You need to avoid food sensitivities while healing the gut. Sometimes they go away once the gut is healed.

if you're getting an immune reaction from a food, it's going to to damage whether you take something for inflammation or not.

Testing is not very valid .. unless it is a true IgE allergy. Most food sensitivities are not IgE.

I agree with Six and Lymetoo.

A challenge test and a food journal is very reliable for testing sensitivities. It just requires time.

Several doctors I've seen say that's the most reliable method.

Tests miss too much unless it's a true allergy, then it's very helpful.

I had the Array 10 blood test for IgG and IgA. I never would have figured out cooked carrots, cooked beets, cooked zucchini, plums, eggplant, etc. were bad for me from a rotation diet.

I have challenged adding them back in and cannot, they make me bloated and upset my stomach.

For me anyway, a rotation diet PLUS intolerance testing helped. The Array 10 is a blood test.

I also had things show up on IgE testing as well.

That's awesome about The Array 10. Never heard of it before.

I hadn't either. My functional medicine doctor ran the test. It was great. It picked up about 20 things I hadn't. Some of the things I knew already.

i'm thinking of doing a pinnertest food sensitivity test?

can food intolerance even cause off balance symptoms? IDK if i should go to a neurotologist or not just to rule it out or is my weird head feeling most likely lyme..

also how do you get rid of mold toxicity/ammonia just by detoxifying?

this all overwhelms me, all the different possibilities. should i try to just get xanax? maybe that would help?

Kaseyy, I forgot to answer your question (PM) on wheat.

You know, during lyme my body could not stand wheat.

During the years I test people energetically, I realized wheat does not test good for anyone. Some healthy people can take wheat, but when I ask: is it good? I never got a yes, until today.

Wheat tests good for no one.

So wheat out, is the first thing I would do. Later when you get no more lyme, you may eat it again (?).

If you crave grains, try spelt instead. It is an old type of wheat. Some people test good for spelt. That is what we use daily home (but we have no more lyme).

during lyme, sometimes, we could not take anything with glutten. So no spelt either. But after lyme, spelt feels fine.

If you REACT to foods: it's a must to stop eating them. If you can afford to stop eating them.

They cause gut inflammation.

DUring lyme, we reacted to many foods. Many. We stopped eating them, and after lyme was gone, we could take again MOST of them again (but not all....).

Food test is the 1ST thing Klinghardt practioners do. They test all basic foods the first day you go see them for lyme.

If you test bad, if you react, drop it or they will make you feel tired, worsen the gut, then you may get even MORE allergies.

The first day I stopped eating those bad-tested foods I already felt some difference. In energy.

As for candida diet, I keep wondering:

is it the carb the bad guy?
is it the OIL the bad guy?
Or both?

Both are anti candida diets, sort of antagonists: if you stop carb, you got to increase oils.

If you stop oils (meat, veggie oils), you got to increase carbs (or else, what will you eat?).

Some say, no fresh fruits, no fresh veggies.

Other says, no nuts, no nut oil.

Some say: eat diet high in proteins. Other says, proteins make your body too acidic, so eat more veggies.

Cooked or uncooked? Opinions vary: some say, only cooked. Others say, mostly raw.

I guess, the answer, no one knows. You gotta keep trying!
