back to basics

I recently got an MRT test from THE CENTER FOR HEALTH AND WELLBEING in Hillcrest, Ca. (http://chwbonline.com/) I have been gluten free for about 1.5 yrs, dairy free for 3 months, heavy meat free for 4 months, limited or no processed, I started juicing and taking supplements. I was a overly healthy girl in everyone's opinion. If they only knew how in tune I am with my body and how unhealthy I felt even though most would say I was as healthy as you get. With the eliminated food list growing and not healing from eczema, skin blemishes, rashes, random headaches, slight and severe bloating, a gross morning tongue issue, cramps, sinus headaches, fatigue, fogginess, poor nail and hair growth, dry skin and oily skin, loss of appetite, food splurging, cravings etc....I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY!

We found Kathleen Bundy MS, RD, CLT with much looking and time on the internet. here is her blog. after we called to setup an appointment I was very anxious for two weeks just to have a consultation. Then 1 week to get bloodwork. Then 2 weeks to go over results and test report.

Here is my leap report:

first response was ok not as bad as i imagined but CUCUMBERS? LAMB? I have to say i don't care for most of the foods in yellow or red and maybe fore a reason. i could never eat more than 1 banana and i knew there was something with processed foods and dairy but not the exact cause.

what is benzoic acid!? and why is it red?! benzoic acid is used both as flavoring and preserving. eg. turning tomatoes into ketchup, certain soups etc. it can be found naturally occurring in cherry bark, raspberries, tea, anise, cinnamon, butterscotch, icings, chewing gum, margarine, pickles. sodium benzoate is used as a preservative in liquid vitamin/mineral preparations of meds.

what is phenylethylamine!? causes migraines and may have an effect on the nervous system causing sleepiness, fatigue, and hyperactivity. unless there is an overload or your very sensitive the body can neutralize the effects. found in chocolate, wines, aged cheeses.

it may seem like a long list of no no no's but at the same time its not all foods so i'm hoping that after the program i can heal and rebuild then move on.

here is the food list I must and will follow. My immune system depends on it. I will have to be creative for sometime. This will be somewhat easy for me. The hard part is being sick. The harder part was giving up gluten 2 years ago and completely changing my lifestyle permanently.
