The allergy tests still seem valuable, but I thought there was a test that checked for intolerances, and that recommeneded foods to you in multiple categories based on that, stuff you should eat every day, stuff you should eat lightly, etc.
Actually hearing about the DNA test makes is seem (no offense at all Dana to you personally) a bit hokey. Curing digestive problems by monitoring and eliminating the bad vibrations that are coming out of the things we eat? I don't even get how that would work.
I have read numerous people swear acupuncture was the answer, and I know it wouldn't still be around if it didn't help some people, but for IBS it didn't do a damn thing for me. I was very sad about that not only because I didn't get better, but also because I really liked the acupuncturist and it was obvious she was REALLY trying, unlike my doctor, who sees me in under 10 min and then out.
It didn't help with the pain, it didn't help with motility, heck, it didn't even help with stress/anxiety (if anything you would expect that's where it would shine).
As a result, I am definitely gun-shy when it comes to homeopatic or eastern treatments. I gave it the ol college try, spent over $1000 all told, and got nowhere. I can't say they don't work, since they obviously do for many people. It just seems they don't work for me.
