Carol, I was in a chocolate frenzy for months before I had the tests done. I haven't had it in quite a while now, and I don't crave it, luckily! Yes, Mexican food is my absolute favorite food and I am really so bummed that I can't have corn tortilla chips and guacamole. But Trader Joe's has some veg...

Carol, I like the Vitafusion gummies too! I haven't seen the D3 but I use the multivites and CoQ10. The multivites aren't very potent, but they don't give me the nausea that pills do, just like you. I also have their calcium but I switched over to a formula that my Nurse Practitioner has that has mo...

Hi Carol, Thanks for the suggestion on D-Mannose. I actually did a search about a week ago online and found that it was very effective for UTIs, so I bought some at the Vitamin Shoppe. I have been taking it, but somewhat irregularly. Now that you commented on it, I will be diligent in taking it. I'm...

Hi Carol, Thank you... and yes, that does help. I have so many restricted foods, I have really had a tough time figuring out what to eat at all. I am eating turkey and pork, applesauce, avocado, cashews, and I have been alternating all that a little bit. No gluten (42), dairy (17), eggs (54), soy (5...

Oops! You are right Mary Beth... I forgot to post the second page of the MRT results. Here they are: http://s21.postimg.org/80hgyq1kj/MRT_section_three.jpg I opted not to work with a LEAP nutritionist ($1375) and just get the tests done from Oxford and see what I could figure out. I am working with ...

Tex,

Advice on the MRT results taken... thank you. And thanks for adding the note to click on the pix for an enlarged version. That would be pretty crazy to try to see them as they are!!

Diane

Here are the result of my MRT tests. I hope you are able to see them. If not, I will try something else.








Any thoughts/suggestions?
Diane

Hi Zizzle, I haven't even heard of the Autoimmune Paleo Protocol, so I will have to do some reading up on that and check out Facebook as well! Thank you! My brain is on overload trying to learn all of this. I was so excited to have all the tests done and SO looking forward to getting the results so ...

Leah,

Thanks for your help and congratulations on having so much success! I'm very happy for you!! I probably have a very long road ahead of me, so I will be patient!

Diane

Hi Tex and Leah, Thank you both for your advice! I will try to find out if egg-free flu shots are available near me. If I can't find one, I think I will stick with Tex's advice, pass on the shot and take my chances on getting the flu. That story of Mary Beth's is horrible... I don't want to go down ...

"So the important question is, "Do you actually have mast cell issues, or are you avoiding high-histamine foods as a precaution to maximize your chances of achieving remission, just in case you might be sensitive"? (from Tex) That's your question, Tex, but I don't know how to put it i...

Thanks Leah, I'm down another 1/2 pound today. I would love the avocado suggestion, but I think it's on the high histamine list, isn't it? I would be very happy with that drizzled with olive oil. I have been addicted to guacamole for 50 years. If I could sneak that in again with maybe some corn chip...

Tex, Thanks for the in-depth info, as usual!! I was just whining about the foods in the pantry. I have actually had no desire for them anyway! I had a few small slices of turkey and 1/2 of a sweet potato tonight for dinner. So far, so good. I am really going to have to find more to eat though. My we...
