Well we are now waiting until May 18th for our test.
My GP was not happy about me removing dairy from C's diet and her referral letter says as much, however, removing it has seemed to have had the desired effect. I know from friends who have allergies that GPs and food intolerances etc. don't go together very well.
I don't know how you feel about homeopathy. DP wouldn't let me go near it but there are homeopathic tests which a friend of mine used with her 2 year old son. It identified lots of food items that he was intolerant to and she removed these from his diet immediately (none were dairy I hasten to add) and the skin problems he had cleared within a week. Now he would have not understood what the results meant so...
Interesting comment about skin and allergy test not picking up on intolerance. I know C is intolerant now, like you B&M, because when I withdraw he is soooo much better than when I consume. I do try reintroducing from time to time and each time there is a reaction.
What I was hoping to find out was whether he was lactose or dairy intolerant - but I don't think my GP understood that these were separate issues from what she wrote in the referral letter.
Good luck
