So far I'll say this. She has helped me find a better mineral supplement (mostly for immune system health but also to try and regulate muscle spasming). She's mostly helping me with immune system health for now because that is the reason I came to her. I just found out she has IBS as well, so I found this pretty interesting.

I'm just starting on the food allergy thing, so I'll post about that once I know more. I've only had two appointments so far, and we're focusing on my immune system. She's asked me more questions than I've asked her. She did in fact tell me to try a wheat-free diet (although not a gluten-free) because it is one of the most common allergens. It was also the basis of my diet for 24 years, so I think it makes sense. In terms of overall health, it is good to get a variety of grains, not just wheat. So I'll probably be cutting out wheat temporarily, and then having it on a non-regular basis.

I might ask at my next appointment about fructose. I know you have been trying to avoid fructose lately, has it helped? One thing I found confusing was a website that listed fruits as being high in fructose (as compared to glucose) and the only real offenders were apples and pears. Mangoes were pretty low. Syl if you have a good reference to a list of fructose/glucose content in fruits I'd be interested. It's all just so confusing.. I'd assume if you were following a low-fructose diet for a few weeks and didn't notice any change in symptoms, then it's probably not a problem.
