The MRT test claims to be very reliable with the reactive (red) results, but not as accurate with the moderately reactive (yellow) and non-reactive (green) results. The yellow moderately reactive foods should be avoided for about a year before testing, as I recall. Green foods can be tested in the first three months to a year, but the red foods should be avoided. The reactions seem to change once some healing has taken place, however. I believe that Mary Beth had a different set of results after she was tested a year or so later.

I'll bet a GF cookie that you could send in samples a week apart and at least some of the results would be different.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
