Hi Christy! I'm sorry you're having so many problems. I think we can all relate here. As for the food testing, I think it's a good guideline, but I don't think blood tests are 100% accurate. Staying away from dairy is always a good idea, which you'll see if you read Heather's dietary guidelines. But as for the sugar, wheat, etc. I would recommend trying elimination diets to see how these effect you. For example, you may want to try giving up JUST wheat for 2 weeks and see how your body feels after that. If it's better, you'll know that's one thing that bothers you. Then you can try the same thing with cane sugar, etc. Personally, I don't think my blood tests were totally accurate. They came back saying I had a moderate wheat allergy, but wheat is pretty much the safest thing for me to eat! I eat it constantly and have my IBS mainly under control. It did say I had a peanut allergy also, however, and I discovered that peanuts did indeed bother me. Overall, I think blood tests are a good starting point, but you need to figure out what feels best for your body. I hope that helps, and I wish you the best of luck!
