Re: Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Allergies

I just got my results back from the Life Extension Food Safe Allergy Test. It is mind-blowing! It shows multiple allergies including milk, eggs, beef, mushrooms, almonds, pumpkin seeds, ginger, and avocado. I'm dismayed that I will have to redo my menus and cooking routines, but, at least I now know...

Re: Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Allergies

Thank you, Tincup, for your detailed response. I will check out Scott Carney's book, the Coca Pulse test, and the Facebook group. I will report back with my experience.

Re: Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Allergies

A Health Coach could be a good resource to help you along your journey. The Wiki has a few health coaches listed here . Would a Health Coach be able to help me lose weight as well as helping me to avoid allergens? I'm not sure how I'm going to manage in the spring with multiple pollen and mold alle...

Re: Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Allergies

I ordered the Foodsafe Extended Panel from LIfe Extension, but didn't realize that I needed to be off all antihistamines for 7 days prior to the test. So I've had to be patient and finally drew the skin prick blood samples today. Tomorrow I'll send it off overnight and then wait for the results. I'l...

Re: Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Allergies

I have used an elimination diet a few different times in the last 10 years. If you're looking for guidance, check into the Autoimmune Protocol. It lists food to eliminate (based on the science of which are most allergenic), but also how to reintroduce them to see if they were the problem. It might h...

Re: Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Allergies

[ A couple months ago I decided to take a food sensitivity test offered by life extension. It was expensive - I think about 300 dollars and tested for sensitivity to over 300 foods. I was shocked to find that the one food it said I should avoid was almonds. Everything suddenly made sense since I was...

Re: Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Allergies

When I went to my allergist, he found that my tryptase was very high at 25. So sorry that you're dealing with this, Carolyn. It's a great sign that you're already seeing signs of improvement by eliminating peanuts. Given your high tryptase level, I'm wondering if mastocytsosis was ever explored? I ...

Re: Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Allergies

Hi Floramaria, Thanks for your quick response. Did you eliminated all of the common allergens at once? Giving up dairy, eggs, soy, corn, and nuts all at once would be difficult, so I'll try stopping one food at a time. I stopped peanut butter last week and already feel better. I'll start with dairy ...

Eosinophilic Esophagitis and Allergies

I have recently been diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis and am searching for more information. To give you some background, a couple of months ago, I had an anaphylactic reaction to fire ant bites. When I went to my allergist, he found that my tryptase was very high at 25. I also had been havin...

Re: High Calcium Score

Hi Prescott, Thanks for the offer of the CD series. I am very interested. I've been so focused on Alzheimer's prevention the past couple of years that I haven't paid attention to DVD prevention. I thought I was in good shape because my labs were good. Do you need my address, or is this a downloadabl...
