Depending on the type of specialist you saw, you might want to get some follow up testing. Theres a huge difference between a dietician (a highly regulated profession that requires a license) and a nutritionist, which is generally a wide open term like "healer" and has very little meaning or requirements. There is such a thing as a licensed nutritionist in WA, but as things settle down yoh might want to get more information so your daughter gets ongoing care from someone who is qualified to manage serious eating issues.

I could go on and on, I have a very sensitive 37 year old daughter who has, through trial and error, figured out what works for her. The #1 thing she could not live w/o is DE, Diatomaceous Earth and she drinks a tablespoon or 2 in a glass of water upon rising. It has taken her many years to get to this point, she is allergic to just about every processed food, no wheat, no dairy, NO SOY, she carries her food with her at all times and is such a cool person. The doctors were of no use and their tests were so off it's not even funny how bad those tests were. I wish you all the luck in the world. It's a journey, that's for sure. Good on you for reaching out. Heads up, she did NOT test for any of the things she is deathly allergic to either. Wheat is a 2 week experience into hell for this gal, it's THAT bad. Soy causes biblical boils. Dairy is 2 weeks on the toilet. Took 10 years to figure it all.

I'm happy to hear that Claire's finally getting help for allergies, had she seen specialists before in the past? if she had you do realize that medical technology has changed vastly in just the last five years. And finding a doctor that actually listens is hard but not impossible again I'm happy she's well.

My community has changed from providing ground water to providing surface water . The change also required a change in the chemicals they use to treat the water , to keep it sanitary . June 7th of 2019 , after a shower , my body got itchy all over . I had some distilled water sitting in the kitchen , so poured some on a wash cloth and began wiping my body down . While the skin irritation didn't stop immediately , it did eventually calm down . I still have a rash near my left ankle , from over a year ago , now , where I apparently missed a spot with the distilled water . So glad I didn't drink any tap water . I spent the entire summer , bathing in the swimming pool . Called the Culligan man , and spent over $10,000 to have a water filter system installed .

I'm so glad she's getting answers!

Sort of surprise on the level 2. Garlic sensitivity is usually pretty rare. Did they mention other items in the allium family like onions, chives, or shallots? Allergies/sensitivities tend to run in food families. Mustard is another, no mention other brassicaceae family members like broccoli, cabbage, or cauliflower?

News flash, doctors ignore everyone, not just women. The pat answer when they just don't know is to try and claim it's psychosomatic. ( I had to put up with that crap for years till I FINALLY found someone who bothered to test. By then the arthritis had already destroyed most of my back beyond repair.).
Aside from a specialist running allergy tests, a doctor is the last person to see for nutrition issues.. I went to school to be a dietitian. Doctors are only required to take one basic nutrition course. The same one the basketball players take ( and quite frankly, the basketball players generally paid more attention than the pre meds) . The American Dietetics Association did a study at Harvard Medical school about 30 years ago and found that the average doctor knew slightly less about nutrition , than the average doctors secretary. Nuff said.
Look like that list is going to pretty well kill the whole vegan thing. Time for the beer and bratwurst diet

Sadly, in my experience, some Doctors around these days only seem to interested in the Consultation Payments they WILL get and not the Patients themselves.
Glad your daughter got a result after such a truly long, trying ordeal.

Itchiness inside her body?! That must have been absolute agony. I'm so glad so she has gotten some answers now and hope she begins to feel better very soon.

Amazing it took the doctor so long to figure that out!! I’m sorry Claire has had to deal with this so long

1. Understand that this list is unique for your daughter. Other people will have other lists in a different order.
2. Only the tedious 100-year-old desensitization protocol is available.
3. Mitigating and curing allergies can be done. Sadly, the best techniques remain in the realm of research. Big Pharma makes too much money to allow cures to be made available. I saw research 40 years ago that could have transformed Humanity by relieving the torture of allergies; I can only suppose it was suppressed. Selling tons of anti-histamines makes so much more money.
4. Also, allergies are rarely fatal, so the impetus to develop treatments isn't there.

This is so sad, but at least she was finally diagnosed. I'm very fortunate, I have no allergy to anything.

It is well documented that doctors, especially male but often female as well, disregard what female patients tell them, and pass it off as "hysterical". Our pain is never as bad as we say it is, our rashes and discomforts just not worth the time. I am glad your daughter spoke up and became her own advocate and got some answers. Hopefully things will get better for her soon.

WOW that is such a long list ,loved the way they laid it out for her in the different classes, So very sorry ,that is a lot of allergys, I would have claire ask her if there is any way she can try and desensitive herself to some of these and see if the nutrionist can give her a list of chemical compaunds in them all and see what the common denominators are among them if any and to what degree percentage are in each one ,I have a feeling it may be only two or three compounds thru out all of these fruits vegetables and grains and nuts. Certainly worth the investigation,,you never know where it will leed,hopefully positive results will come from it

I'm sorry your daughter, had to go through that.

If it's covered, get the tests. Many folks who are ADHD, (like me), or under the Autisim spectrum have food intolerances, up to actuall food allergies. It's hard to diagnose if the child is non-verbal.
