When my daughter got her food sensitivity test back we were shocked that
she had mounted an immune response to lettuce and broccoli as well as
some other veggies.

As I started to write this response, the Doctor who diagnosed my
daughter called for a follow-up -- the last time she saw him was about 8
months ago. I've received next day follow-ups, but that long, never. Of
course, he's the only holistic doc we're ever had.


I ask him some questions about leaky gut and food intolerances, etc. and
he said it all starts with digestion -- low enzymes and HCL. He
recommends an enzyme product called similase. One can develop a food
intolerance with any food apparently.
