Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Food Intolerance test

The test was done at the Meridian Valley Laboratory In Washington state. The sheet says it is an MLV allergy proceedure." I haven't gone back to my Dr. with it - will next week - and then I will know more. I just have the paper right now.

It is broken down into "insignificant", "moderate" and "significant". I have only a few foods in "insignificant". Most are in "moderate" and "significant". In grains only oats are in "insignificant", alon with alla vegetahles excpet black olives, lentil (I can't eat any beans!) peas (insoluable) and potato. THAT'S IT! I can have chicken, turkey and RED meat...and fish.

I am at my wit's end, as I now have dipped down under 80 lbs. (a good weight for me would be 98 lbs). To tell you the truth, except for wheat and dairy and beans (really bad)it doesn't seem to matter WHAT I eat - it is just THAT I eat. Anything going into my gut is bad for me. My husband suspects that along with leaky gut I may have SIBO. He is looking into having me tested for it, but on this tiny island (Kaua'i) it may not be an option.

Thanks for the advice! We will look into getting another test. Do you have any recommendations for a lab?
