Treatments

Mainly all I have to say here is don't give up. First of all get checked for 1. Candida overgrowth 2. Get allergy tested, but not skin prick tests, they don't always work. MAKE SURE that they are BLOOD tests. Remember Only a positive food allergy test is definitive, it is common to have a negative allergy test response to a food you ARE allergic to. 3. Give doctors full history. It is important to let them know if you have changes ANYTHING in your life or if you have ever taken medications like anti-biotics for extended periods, had parasites, or if you have ever had or parents have had a severe illness.
