Just theorizing. The article is about specific and unexpected foods causing high blood sugar spikes. It was thought the detection test might prevent type 2 diabetes complications. I was thinking, if true, it might transfer over to food allergy detecting. I don't agree with everything in the article, but the ideas sound intriguing.

Possible new way to detect food allergies?

Hi Blueberry,
I think someone else posted about this, or maybe I stumbled across it across it myself (I'm not sure because my memory isn't what it used to be), but I have a similar article bookmarked:
Can our gut microbiota contribute to the effect healthy foods have on us?
Here's a link to the original research article:
Personalized Nutrition by Prediction of Glycemic Responses
While this surely has a future for weight control and possibly pre-diabetes issues, I'm not sure that it can be used to detect food sensitivities.

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.
The most reliable diet for diabetes appears to me to be the same diet that works for virtually all other health problems — the low carb diet. Diabetes is closely associated with gluten sensitivity. Getting gluten out of the diet will prevent a lot of the complications associated with diabetes.

I used to think that, but now believe the diet connection with type 2 diabetes is more complicated. A doctor, Walter Kempner, decades ago from Duke University, fed patients a high carb rice diet. He was probably the first doctor to show diabetes could be treated by diet. He treated around 15,000 patients. The diet, in the initial phase, was rice, fruit and sugar, a diet 90% carbs. Later new foods would be added back into the diet, observing how the patient did. Sometimes toast was given in the following phase. With that Dr. Kempner was reversing type 2 diabetes in many. Many also lost large amounts of weight, along with avoiding diabetes complications. Many also say their kidney disease go away, along with heart disease.
In light of Dr. Kemptner's work, I though the testing mentioned in the article interesting. Orange juice, salmon, and grapes spiked glucose levels abnormally high in the doctor highlighted in the article. Ice cream and croissants on the other hand didn't. She lost some weight on the personalized diet, along with feeling her skin looked better.
Anyway, it's another one of those events that doesn't fit the expected mold. A little bit about Dr. Kempner, his work along with a couple pictures of patients can be seen here.

The best diet for reversing type 2 diabetes remains a low carb diet. Low carb diets were recommended for diabetics prior to the early 1920's when insulin was discovered. Granted this was directed primarily at type 1 diabetics. Many people have reversed their type 2 diabetes by sticking to a low carb diet.

Jean,
Yes, I'm familiar with their sights. The low carb diet does seem to work for many when it comes to diabetes. I believe there is a study that the diet helped around 70% lower their blood sugar levels. I didn't see a mention if that helped prevent complications though.
The low carb diet doesn't work for all though, which is a common complaint. The nice thing too is that it looks like carbs can be consumed in helping prevent diabetes, along with complications or disease associated with that condition.
it is fascinating to me. I would say the best diet is the one that best suites a person, and prevents the disease. if one wants to follow a low carb diet and sees results that is wonderful. Conversely if one wants to consume carbs that appears possible too.
