[QUOTE="Josie, post: 118187, member: 1792"] If you think you can be strict about trying to eliminate foods, I would skip the testing. I did do testing for gluten and milk at first. We tested positive so I was very strict about it and saw results. Without that testing, I didn't take it as seriously. The results were what convinced me that the test was valid. There are many opinions by the experts that this kind of testing is invalid so you can easily dismiss the results if you want to. You can save money by just trying it on your own. Since then, I have had one daughter tested for soy, eggs, and yeast. She was negative on all but she and I are convinced she is soy-intolerant. Her soy test was almost positive. Again, the diet results are what we are going by, not the test results. I also recently had the big food allergy panel done. This did not even show her gluten problem because it is a different methodology. This came back with many food intolerances, mostly slight intolerances. I view this as a starting point for foods to eliminate and test, but not as the definitive answer. So, while I've spent a lot of money on food allergy tests, I don't necessariy recommend it unless you think you need a place to start. The top 8 allergens are wheat, milk, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and eggs. I would try gluten and not just wheat. Just MHO. [/QUOTE]
