Something now is better than nothing. Behavior that comes and go may be triggered by foods, which come and go. Strength of allergic reactions can build up within the system with each exposure.

By age twelve my daughter’s pain was chronic and severe. A referral from our sports medicine doctor to a rheumatoid arthritis specialist resulted in answers identifying the source of her chronic pain and hives that started when she was 18 months of age. Blood work showed induced inflammatory arthritis; a CAT scan verified inflammation in her legs. IGE allergy testing the prior year revealed an allergy to peanuts; however, her suffering worsen. The doctor recommended an IGG blood test of all available foods. Intolerance to gluten and milk protein were so high the specialist recommended permanent removal and celiac testing (negative). Only total elimination from condiments and soaps resulted in elimination of hives, significantly decreased pain,and greatly improved digestion. The book, Wheat Belly, was invaluable. http://www.welcomecure.com/Healthcare/Rheumatoid-Arthritis/Rheumatoid-Arthritis-Causes
