I saw a woman on TV tout a diet that eliminates 7 food types for 2 weeks. Then reintroduce them into your diet one at a time. If you don’t get a bad reaction fine. If you do then keep it off your diet.

The allergy clinic did that to me, too, in that I had to eat only rice for several days, then go back with a “cleaned out” digestive tract. The first time I went there, they did their usual technique, put shots under my skin up and down both arms. Then, they said that method wasn’t working on me. Had to go back early in the morning and they took my blood and separated out the white cells and put the cells directly on foods.
Then, I had to go back early one morning with a container of roast beef I had made. I ate the roast beef, then had to wait two hours to see if I had a reaction. I didn’t think I would, but over an hour into that, I began to sneeze and feel nauseous. That really was a bad time in my life to keep losing weight and no one knowing why until they took my white cells and put them on food.
I can’t eat anything with iodine in it (forget shrimp, crab, clam). I stay nauseous and my skin turns red and I have chills for three days. They put iodine just under my skin and I have a permanent scar there due to my flesh rotting away down through all the skin layers. It took out all the pigment so that spot is white. It had to heal from the bottom up so I had a raw wound there that made me look like a junkie. I was registering kids in school (was a school counselor) and I put a band aid over that spot so that spot wouldn’t look like I just shot up an illegal drug.
It’s on my medical records never to use iodine on me in a hospital. I had double cataract surgery last year and iodine is what is used to sterilize the eye area so the surgeon used a different preparation to sterilize that area. There is no way he would have used iodine close to my eyes.
Every human body is different but it seems like we would be more alike than we are. I have instructed my body to get with the act and stop being allergic to these foods and iodine and everything that grows outside, but it doesn’t listen to me. When I actually see God, I am going to complain He did a lousy job creating my body. However, this body has lived 80 years and I’m still functioning and my mind is sharp, so I am thankful for that.
I’ve got doctor prescribed pills for nausea and other pills for a stuffed up head from being outside working in my garden.
I sympathize with anyone having an allergy to anything because it is the pits.
