So I went to an allergy doctor today and had allergy testing done. I tested for wheat, milk, potatoes, corn, and eggs. My results showed that I was not allergic in the slightest to any of them. I discussed this with the doctor and he said that the skin prick test was more accurate than blood testing. He did however say that I might have a food intolerance. He told me to weigh what I have been told and what the results showed and then make my decisions based upon what I have experienced and have facts for.
Good advice, but frustrating none the less.
This hasn’t been a completely fruitless venture. I feel healthier and can now relate to those who truly do have food allergies/intolerances. I think I will stick to my diet and continue to focus on losing weight.
I still have some more doctor’s apt.s so I might still learn something new.
On a happier note. Clara cut her first tooth yesterday. She isn’t too happy about it. She has had a fever and has been very cuddly. Momma is enjoying it. She is usually a very active, don’t hold me type of girl. I’m sure she will be herself again soon.
