MJ,
No, I haven't, do you know where you can have it done? I can't find a dr. who believes in that kind of testing to order them. I tried with my allergy dr. He wouldn't budge.
I love you GF lady.

York Allergy doews this

I've ordered the 113 food items. I already tested stool with Dr. Fine and it showed egg, milk, yeast and I'm suspecting soy/corn as possibilities.
This test will show the latter too. Also, they have a saliva test for the primary culprits of egg, milk, yeast and soy intolerances. The delphi site had many people who were positive with the results.
I went to a allergist last year and what a waste of my money that was. It was IgE skin prick test and all were negative. I showed her my sheet from Dr. Fine and she did admit that hers was not the same (I knew that). Other tests can range from 500 dollars to 1000 dollars. I could've gone to my pcp paid $35 dollar co pay got a referral order etc... He never did check for antibodies when I told him I carried the CD gene and have MC. My hubby paid for it out of HIS pocket. For that I am very blessed and grateful as well.
In all seriousness, my husband and father (he's got Parkinsons) should be on a GF diet as well from everything I've read. Hubby even has acid reflux and taking aciphex. I wish they'd listen.

tests
MJ, let us know what results you get from that!!! I see that it tests for IgG reactions as well as IgE. The ones for Dr. Fine's laboratory, as you know, are IgA, and I've been to an allergist and all the other stuff as well.. of course NOONE will take Dr. Fine's tests as valid and one allergist was VERY helpful, telling me that IgA reactions are handled strictly by GI docs. Of course we all know where THAT has gotten us. It's a neverending loop.. a downward spiral..
MJ, I love your GF lady too. How did you do that?? lol

Hi
I had a food intolerance test done by a naturopath - not sure how accurate it was, but I'd advise staying away from that - it ended up costing me a fortune in naturopathic medicine and I found out he was suspending the herbs in brandy (not to my liking), so over a thousand dollars later I decided to quit that road.
I've never had a food intolerance blood test, but it makes more sense to me.
