Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Very interesting. The skin prick is quite reliable. The delay reaction blood test is notoriously unreliable. I had a skin test many years ago. Fortunately I have very few allergies.

Unfortunately there is no clinical evidence to support the use of laser acupuncture for allergies. In fact there is an interesting article on the Science-Based Medicine about Biofeedback and Laser for Allergies.

It will be an interesting task to use the Heather's diet with your allergies but it can be done. You might also read the first two links in my signature about a clinical tested diet (FODMAP diet) for managing functional bowel disorders like IBS. It has been shown to reduce IBS symptoms by 70-80%. Many of us on the board use Heather diet in conjunction with the FODMAP diet with reasonable success.

Ask lots of questions. There are many knowledgeable people on the board.
