Oh...I was just talking to a friend last night (hadn't talked to her in several months).......her daughter had been very sick and the doctors never could pinpoint the exact cause of what was going on. So, the whole family went to another doctor and did some sort of allergy test (she said is the newest test that tests 95.9% of foods or something like that) and found out they were allergy to a few different things.

She had been suffering from stomach cramps, moodiness, etc. And her doctor just said it was her age....it was the woman's body...blah, blah, blah.. put her on several different hormone therapies, etc.

Well anyway....after the allergy testing...the family had deleted some foods entirely from their eating habits and have cut back on some others...and in only these few months, all of their symptoms are gone and they are healthier...her and her huband both lost weight too. (not just a few pounds, but her husband lost over 20).

I know she said she was allergic to diary and eggs (no big surprise, it seems a lot of people are anymore) and soy!!!

She said she was amazed at what all the doctor said that food allergies can cause a persons body to do.....so I think I will be tested too.....I need to because one of my doctors suggested it at one time....insurance doesn't cover it and my friend (course, it is probably different in different areas) said that her test was about $400!

Anyways, if there are a few pounds to go or you just can't loose the weight, I wouldn't think it would hurt to be tested!
