Elimination Diet - best for food sensitivity 25 Jun 2007

A positive identification of your food intolerance (food sensitivity):
Would you go through a series of hi-tech diagnostic tests and procedures if you knew the doctor would prescribe an Elimination Diet afterwards to confirm the test results?

Helen B. Vic. Australia says "No way."

    I now know the Elimination Diet is the best way to find out food intolerances or any food sensitivity. It soon showed mine are Dairy and Gluten.

    But prior to that I had been through a lot of tests with no hard answers. Even the colonoscopy wasn't definite. I think doctors are hung up on using technology. Most of my test results were 'inconclusive'. One doctor even admitted it. She said 'at best they're a guide.'

    After three types of test (and 3 appointments) she told me an Elimination diet would always identify foods that were causing symptoms of food intolerance.

    Older and wiser! Why didn't the doctor tell me that in the first place? Why all the needles and tests? Not to mention the cost! So what is the Detection Diet?
Hi Helen, the Detection Diet is our easy to follow version of the Elimination Diet. Get it in The Tuesday Club.

We are still getting lots of emails from people who have been through all kinds of uncomfortable and unnecessary procedures that mostly give inconclusive results. However, you must understand that when your doctor gives you these tests he/she is trying to rule out other serious illnesses.

Blood Tests and Clinical Procedures for food sensitivity
Here's a sample: To test for food intolerance or allergy your doctor might do a range of blood tests, skin pinprick tests, or hydrogen breath tests. He might also do stool or urine analyses.

Or a specialist doctor might pass a tube into your throat and stomach (a gastroscopy - under anaesthetic) or through the anus (colonoscopy) into the intestines to investigate.

Maybe you see an alternative medicine practitioner. He might take pulses from both wrists, look into your eyes, at your tongue and skin colour. Others might do a test where electric currents are passed through your body and readings are taken.

Confirming food sensitivity results using an Elimination Diet
However in almost all of these cases the doctor will agree that tests are only an indication of which foods cause your symptoms . . . and then he or she will prescribe an Elimination Diet. Hello!

    QUESTION: Would you go through all those tests if you knew the doctor would put you on an Elimination Diet anyway?
No? Neither would we.
