Hello,
Its been just 2 weeks since i've actually tried to understand more about my allergies since it only has gotten worse.
But now i'm trying to understand some things about my test results and i hope that someone here can help me out.
So this is what my test results look like:
banana 0.47 ! 0,35/-
mushroom 0 < 0,35/-
cucumber 1.14 ! 0,35/-
cabbage 2.66 ! 0,35/-
mango 0.56 ! 0,35/-
rice 0.99 ! 0.35/-
eggplant 0.81 Ku/L ref ( <0,35)
lettuce 1.21 Ku/L ref ( <0,35)
peppercorn 0.71 Ku/L ref ( <0,35)
Coffee 0 Ku/L ref ( Negative)
now those 2 zero's I understand..
But i just dont get what that Ku/L means!?
and also i noticed that mushroom, which is 0, has <0,35. and all positive tests have !0,35.
But the eggplant, lettuce, peppercorn also have <0,35.
Does the Ku/L stand for a very small amount or something? what does that mean?
Also i've started doing an elimination diet now.
I must say i feel kinda better now that i dont eat rice and potato anymore (those were two things i still ate before i had them tested).
I started with eating just mushrooms and steak for couple of days. then i introduced coffee. still no problems and feeling good (except for the fact i dont get nutrients yet)
so today i just first added cabbage to my diet, now this was tricky. when i was cutting the cabbage some of it came on a scratch i had on my arm and it started swelling like crazy and itching. then my hands started itching as well. also i got little difficulty breathing.
so this is where i got scared to try and eat it, so i've been googling to find out if cabbage can be eaten when cooked. after long long search i did found test results of a doctor who tested it on patients.
So i just cooked the cabbage really long and ate it. now i'm not sure if i had a very mild reaction or that i might be in my head but my throat started feeling tense and i got a little nauseous.
Does anyone also have some advice for me related to elimination diet? And perhaps some veggies or fruits that can be treated with heating / cooking?
I know i heard some things about putting an apple in the microwave, but that this may not always work because of lipids?
Thanks in advance!
