My mom had that idea of visiting a homeopathetic doctor. He suggested that with his help I will gradually eat the foods that I am reacting to and that this will be my cure to the whole food intolerance issue. Any ideas? I don't want to have that acne back. Any one stopped having multiple food intolerances? Is there a cure for that...? Homeopathy is a solution or not???? It really starts to bother me cause there are so few choises....I can't eat sugar, chocolate, dairy, casein, chicken, many fruits, many fishes, eggs etc etc etc AND I have IBS so I have to eat vegetables and fruits only if they are boiled (is that the word?) Any way, I would appreciate any help....please... _________________ The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel

I can't say I know a great deal about homeopathy or reversing the affects of a food intolerance...but I do know enough to be skeptical of either. Celiac Disease - there is no curing that - that I know. James Randi explains Homeopathy. Perhaps some of the others that have had testing done for food intols will have a more enlightened view of this. I wish you well in your quest! _________________ Al “We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” Mother Teresa Last edited by aklap on Wed May 14, 2008 7:46 am; edited 1 time in total

Hello well you are not going to meet any more Greeks in the forum (I guess) since here celiac is very rare (1 in 11.000 people).... !!!!!!! any way...celiac has no cure (maybe in the future..? ) but my mom had that idea for the other food issues. The link you gave me about that professor (he is great! at least in the way he communicates with the students) was helpfull. But it seems like no one else has tried that solution of homeopathy, so I'll just visit the doctor, listen to what he has to say and decide what to do. To tell you the truth, I don't think that curing the symptoms is a solution. I think there is something else hiding that causes me all that trouble. I just wanted to see if anyone else has had an experience in homeopathy. Thank you so much Meline _________________ The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel

They are working in meds that will help with accidental exposures right now. James Randi is really not a professor... http://www.randi.org/jr/ Quote: James Randi has an international reputation as a magician and escape artist, but today he is best known as the world's most tireless investigator and demystifier of paranormal and pseudoscientific claims. Randi has pursued "psychic" spoonbenders, exposed the dirty tricks of faith healers, investigated homeopathic water "with a memory," and generally been a thorn in the sides of those who try to pull the wool over the public's eyes in the name of the supernatural. Treating the symptoms is not the answer. However, if we know there's a substance that cause a problem [an allergen] and there's no known cure, our next step is to remove the offending substance. http://www.foodallergy.org/questions.html Quote: Is there a cure for food allergies? Currently, there are no medications that cure food allergies. Strict avoidance is the only way to prevent a reaction. Most people outgrow their food allergies, although peanuts, nuts, fish, and shellfish are often considered lifelong allergies. Some research is being done in this area and it looks promising.

There really could be a connection to all your food intolerances. Have you tried making a list of all the food, then seeing if there's any similarities? There might be a common chemical that you need to avoid. Good luck! _________________ Ostrich :>--O==={ I lie below, you float above In the pretty white ships that I am dreaming of

Thanks for the good luck I will need it.....it seems like I can tolerate nothing in my stomach....I'll start eating air..LOL... anyway, your idea about a common chemical is clever but will not work in my case. .....so so so many food intolerances and these foods have nothing in common.... I am visiting my new doctor in 15 days, and I am running some tests now about candida. I will ask him to also check the case of leaky gut cause leaky gut and/or candida may be the cause of the intolerances...

The sites you posted are very helpful, thank you so much..... _________________ The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel

I actually have tried this option of "curing" my allergies. (As stated above, there is no cure for CD - I will always be wheat, barely, rye and oat free - I'm good with that) I was on a rotation diet of four days eating those "allergen" foods listed in my sig - I've nearly gotten rice back in my diet with out reaction. However my circumstances maybe different from yours. I guess the best way to describe it is, I injured my intestines very badly last year. With that damage the naturopath doctor believes that I wasn't breaking down my food all the way and I wound up developing "allergies" to the larger than normal molecules of food, and to the foods themselves. He has me on a regimen of pro-biotics, pro-yeasts and some other stuff which I will say has greatly helped me. However I've currently taken myself off the diet due to a lot of stress in my life and will resume again this summer when that situation ends and I can focus on regaining my health. I think it will help if I can get back with it. I would listen to what he has to say and give it a try. I'd love to hear what your experiences are. _________________ Cheers!
