<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi All-- After being gf for four months now and feeling some better, but not completely where I think I should be, I'm wondering about food allergies. I am currently getting allergy shots for grasses, trees, weeds, molds and dust mites, which is helping, but my allergist refuses to test me for foods unless I am experiencing hives or burning mouth when I eat foods. Evidently, he doesn't believe allergies or intolerances to foods can cause gastrointestinal symptoms. Can anyone tell me how to go about being tested for foods or the best way to pinpoint, on my own, what foods may be offensive? I know I'm lactose intolerant and have recently discovered peanut butter gives me problems. What is the best way of testing for food allergies? Several people have mentioned an ELISA test - what is that? If my current allergist won't test for food allergies, how do I convince my PCP to refer me to another doctor? Sorry for so many questions. Because of the added stress I've experienced lately with the death of a friend, I know I may be getting a bit of a kick-back; however, before I even tried the gf diet, I suspected food allergies or intolerances, but again, my allergist wouldn't test me because I don't exhibit specific symptoms. Also, why do celiacs seem to develop additional food intolerances once they become gf? I'm thinking this may be the reason I've not improved more on the gf diet. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Ayn.
