Gloria and Mary Beth,
Thanks for all the information. You're right, I overlooked the cucurbit connection.

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.
Ant,
Not available there yet but I have heard it's in the works. Blood can be drawn anywhere as long as it can be overnighted to one of the labs and arrive within a certain time frame.

Hi All!
This thread seems to be a magnet for attracting those here who have the most sensitivities. Maggie, where are YOU?
Kari,
I know, I was planning to email you, too. I find it so interesting how different we are - pinto bean was my most reactive, and I think one of your least reactive! And did you have to give up coffee? A whole mo. now for you! I am so happy to hear of your improvement.
Ginny and Pat,
Will look forward to hearing about your results. One cool part of the packet when you get your results is a little laminated card with all of your reactive foods listed.
Gloria,
Thanks for providing that info for me. I was especially interested in your observation that it's important to remain vigilant when testing the green (least reactive) foods but that the most reactive foods seem accurate.
Ant,
Here's the way it works. You have to have your blood drawn after NOON on the first day and in transit the same day so that it arrives at the lab the next day to be tested. In the U.S., the MRT/Leap program uses Fed Ex, so all you have to do is put your kit (with blood samples) into the prepaid Fed Ex mailer that has already been prepared with the lab's return address. The only thing I had to do was to find the Fed Ex pickup location closest to me that had the latest pickup time on the first day. It might be easier for you to do the test one day when you are in Europe or the U.S. - all you'd have to do is find someone to draw the blood for you.
Mary Beth and Tex,
How about starting an MRT forum somewhere on the Board? We could transfer the previous posts related to MRT and Mary Beth could provide an overview. I think it would be helpful to have the info all in one place. It might be interesting to look at the genetic similarities, if any, of those who take the MRT.
Love,
Polly

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

Polly thanks for sharing this it really looks interesting
Mary Beth can you see if there are any places either in New Hampshire or the Boston area that you could refer me to..
As I have been GF / SF now for about 8 months I am seeing other intolerances creeping in. It would be great to know what they are.

Hmmmmm.
OK.Tex

Alice,
The dietitian you work with will give you the pricing and let you know if insurance will cover it. Please note that Aetna, United and Medicare DO NOT cover the test.

Rich,
I think that Joe is DF, with the exception of Pamela's Pancake Mix, (which contains cultured buttermilk).
