Hi everyone,
As I'm getting further into my MRT/LEAP program, something has struck me as kind of odd. I have 2 results on my test that are sort of baffling. The first one is that I tested off the charts sensitive to salmon, while non-reactive to all the other seafoods. The second one is that I also tested very highly sensitive to pecans, while OK with the other nuts??? It just doesn't quite add up for me, so I'm wondering if these could be "false positives" the way that barley seemed to be a "false negative".
Any thoughts??? Do any of you have such seemingly divergent results???
Thanks for any input,
Kari
P.S. My system seems to be settling down nicely again, so I've started testing more foods with good results - yeah !!! (hope I didn't just jinx myself)

Hi Kari,
My highest reaction, also off the charts, was to cucumber, but I tested fine to yellow squash and zucchini. When I tested yellow squash and zucchini, I reacted very quickly to them no matter how I prepared them. I didn't understand it until I looked up the cucumber family. Yellow squash and zucchini are in the same family, along with winter squash, which I also cannot eat.
My testing of yellow squash and zucchini are what warned me to be suspicious of all green foods on the test.

You never know what you can do until you have to do it.
Kari,
Not necessarily. I am sensitive to almonds but can eat other tree nuts, so it is defintiely possible to react to one nut and not the others. Sometimes, and only sometimes, do people react to an entire botanical family. Each food really needs to be tested. Just becaue something is yellow or red does not mean it will cause D. In fact, we don't know what the response will be . . . could be headache, heartburn, skin rash etc. - you won't known until you test it out.
Glad to hear you back on the program and that your body is calming down. I look forward to following your progress..

Kari,
I know what you mean - some things do seem odd. I reacted to cucumber and yellow squash yet have tested butternut squash and zucchini (all in the same family) and have done fine with them. Also, pecan and walnut (same family) are OK but I reacted to pistachio, almond, cashew, and hazelnut on the MRT.
Also, of the nightshades I can eat green pepper and eggplant but not tomatoes and white potatoes. I feel lucky that, so far, I have not encountered an entire food family I am sensitive to.
Gloria, thanks for warning me to be careful of green foods. So far I have found only one green food, avocado, that I react to. I think there are others, like cabbage, cayenne pepper, and beets, which I have been avoiding testing due to past memories of eating them. Tee Hee.
Kari, glad to hear you are making progress.
Hugs,
Polly
