If the elimination diet is either negative or partially successful, then a comprehensive allergy evaluation is recommended. Further allergy testing is necessary before foods can be eliminated as the source for a patient's medical problems. It is time for health care practitioners to start listening to what patients have to say about their medical problems without a pre-formed bias. They need to look beyond the automatic stress label for any subjective problems that does not appear on a lab test, physical examination or x-ray. By placing more emphasis on common sense and clinical judgment, the medical community can be much more effective in diagnosing subjective symptoms, especially those caused by food allergies.
Foods can cause wide range of adverse reactions in the human body from head to toe.
