Here is what I would suggest: Eat a diet that just contains veggies and meats. If you have any vegetables that you feel you are allergic to stay away from those as well. Avoid all vegetable oils as well as all sugar and grains. While you are doing this, I would also suggest that you try juicing. A simple carrot juice with a few greens is a good way to go. If you can afford a juicer, that is the best way to go. As strange as this sounds, juicing goes a long way to normalizing gut function and once your gut is in order the rest of the symptoms should become better. Good luck, Scott Kimberly,

I saw my allergist again today and she told me that she does not think i am have food allergies, even though skin test show me having a reaction. Im convinced it is "leaky gut", but dont know what to ask GI doctor to test for. Im frustrated, and really dont know what or where else to turn. I know that food makes me sick, but can not find a cause. Do you have any suggestions for me to take to my GI doctor? Your help is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Kimberly Thank you Dr. Scott.

I suspect that leaky gut has a lot to do with eating foods (mostly grains) that have toxins unless they are prepared properly or avoided. Hi Kimberly,

My husband I are 100 % convinced that all of this is gut related. Have you ever heard of "leaky gut". I go see my GI doctor again on the 16th. Thanks again. Kimberly Thank you Dr. Scott.

This can be very frustrating, you finally find something you think you can eat and then you become sensitive to it. I don't know if I have an explanation for you except to say that I see it happen all the time. For me, this kind of sensitivity often comes down to gut health. I would suggest that you stay away from the common allergens listed above and then consider juicing (as strange as that might sound). I would suggest juicing mostly greens. Juicing seems to fix a lot of gut problems. Best of luck, Scott Hi Kimberly,

The weird part is i can eat something, and test negative then eat it awhile longer and test positive for it. I frustrated, discouraged and scared to eat. I went to the hospital two days ago because of a allergic reaction. Waiting on blood work results to see if i have an autoammune disease. Wondering if you can shed any light on what might be going on with me. Thanks, Kimberly Hello, I have been seeing my allergist for about 1.5 months now and have 26 food allergies.

Yes, it's true that airborne allergies are likely the cause, but I think you can lower the overall allergic response with a diet like this. You can give it a try and see if it works, if you don't see a change in a week or so then food is not the issue with you. To me, it is worth a week or two out of your life to give it a try. Best of luck, Scott Hi Beth,
