Hello! I went to a natropathic doctor recently because I have all sorts of autoimmune problems and am on some heavy duty meds, and I wanted to see if there was a more natural way to deal with things. I have type 1 diabetes (which isn't going to go away and not really why I sought this doctor) and psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. I also have a few random autoimmune conditions that aren't that bothersome, so my immune system is just screwed up. The psoriatic arthritis is what I went to this doctor for, I am on two immunosuppressants and an NSAID for it, which are helping a lot (before I was unable to walk in the mornings and I am 25 years old), but I don't like the idea of taking these strong medications.
Anyway, she ordered an e95 food panel from Meridian Valley Lab, and it came back saying to avoid dairy, eggs, and garlic. The eggs are garlic numbers are quite high (both categories are almost at 2,000) and the milk products are high (500-900 range) but not as high as the garlic and eggs.
I am wondering how to interpret this. I have read that the test can be inaccurate, and I am just kind of wondering how I should interpret these results. I have been thinking that maybe I would stop eating garlic and eggs (which are both in everything) and maybe eventually dairy since it is also a recommended avoid for me, but I'm not sure if the test is even telling me anything important. The garlic thing really shocked me, I eat it all the time.
Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you
*edit: also, my nautropath has recommended I do an elimination diet and stop eating wheat, dairy, beef, and peanuts for 6 weeks. Wheat was in the moderate category for me and peanuts were fine on the e95 test, so I don't understand why she would order the test and not be following the results. Also, I have been tested for celiac disease and that was negative, and I never have stomach issues with any kind of food. So should I follow this advice? Thank you!
