Food Allergy/ Intolerance Test

-

 


Recently, I decided to get tested to see if I had any allergies or intolerance to any sort of food or drink so I could know what to avoid so I could prevent future flares. About a week ago I got my blood drawn to test and see if I was allergic to the top 12 most common foods people are allergic to which are:

  • milk and dairy products
  • soy
  • shellfish (shrimp, crab, lobster)
  • mustard
  • eggs
  • peanuts
  • fish
  • wheat
  • tree nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews)
  • sesame
  • fruits
  • veggies
My results came back negative. I am not allergic or sensitive to any of these. So, I bought a different test called Simply Sensitivity. The one I bought tests for up to 900 different allergies and sensitivities. Yep. 900. I thought that was pretty crazy. This test is done by mailing your hair to a lab and getting your results emailed back to you. This is a good test for anyone to take just so you can have a healthier lifestyle and know what foods to avoid. The test I bought was around $80. But there are cheaper versions of this that you can buy that test for a lot of different things. 

This test can only be bought online. I got my test on Amazon. If you are interested in this test here are a couple of links that you can check out:

Definitely Not Anxiety

Currently, I am diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and have known this for about two years coming up on three. However, I have had ongoing health issues since I was about 12 years old. I remember the day very clearly when I started having some problems physically. I woke up one morning and (I'll just say it, I'll be getting very personal on this blog) my period had started. Uncomfortable as usual. Painful as usual. This time though, I felt sick. So, I laid down on the couch. I felt okay, but then after a bit I started throwing up. Ever since that one day, I started feeling sick and throwing up every morning for months on end. I was homeschooled growing up for the most part, so I didn't need to worry about making it to school on time. It did affect my schooling though. I did have some online classes that I had to miss frequently because of this "morning sickness" that I had every day, but my teachers were understanding.  I became very underweight. I weighed between

Delving into My UC Disease and What I'm Doing Now

  "She is clothed in strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future." Proverbs 31:25 In case you couldn't read what was on the cover of my notebook there in the picture, that's what it says. It's a great reminder to not fear the future and to trust in God's plan. This notebook was a gift that my mother-in-law gave me, and it is now my health notebook where I write all of my findings and research on my condition.  Recently I had gotten off of those antibiotics that was for my UTI. About three days later, the infection came back along with a yeast infection. So, for the past week I have been fighting a UTI and a yeast infection simultaneously and had to get back onto antibiotics. It is very frustrating to say the least. Today is my last day on the antibiotic treatment and, miraculously, I have not yet gotten a flare from two antibiotic treatments back-to-back.  I have still been doing my best to avoid things I am sensitive to, such as dairy, vege

GI Appointment and Energy Level Update

  [Edit: Decided to put a different picture. It's similar, but it's a picture that I took of my favorite person during a walk. 💕] The GI Appointment A couple of days ago I went to the GI doctor for a wellness check-up. Thankfully, everything is looking good so far. I didn't have to do any tests for the first time in a while, and my medications are staying the same since it seems to be working well. I got the OK from my GI doctor to have veggies again since I'm in the clear from flares for the time being. My doctor did seem to be a bit concerned about my cholesterol though because of the medicine that I am taking. So, he told me to start eating more veggies and whole grains along with doing more exercise to naturally help my cholesterol levels.  I already do a little exercise, but not consistently. I enjoy biking and walking. However, in the area I live in, I don't necessarily feel safe going out for walks alone and I need to take my bike to a park to ride without h
