do you really need the test? I mean you know she has problems with wheat and
such why do you need a test telling you there is a problem?
I am in the same boat I have problems now with wheat and corn. but to get the
test I would end up pretty sick.
so I rather just do what works (remove those items) then get a test and then
remove those items.
one thing in my searching I found Kefir really helps in allergy problems
relating to food. the stuff tastes good too (G)
