"Sarah, Your diet is very pristine. I don't believe that testing provides 'more certainty' than a Food Journal, which is the gold standard. But, if you have the money to spend, it could help to identify potential foods to consider…"
Food sensitivity testing?
Has anyone read this article? And is anyone familiar with the testing mentioned? It also talks about identifying gut infections.http://nourishingourchildren.wordpress.com/2012/12/26/if-gaps-hasnt-work-for-you-or-yours-read-this/ I am interested in trying testing to pinpoint my issues instead of going through lots of tedious elimination diets and trials.

Profile Information
- How did you learn about the "Heal Thyself" site?
- from Pat R. via EHA.
- What does "holistic" mean to you?
- Approaching our health by looking at the big picture: nutrition, circumstances, emotional/psychological state etc. Addressing the whole problem and not just treating ourselves symptomatically.
- How long have you been interested in holistic living?
- About 4 years... every since becoming a mom! I'm sure the interest was latent in me before then, but motherhood has really caused it to blossom.
- a little about me
- I am married, mother of two boys (so far). I am an avid babywearer, and passionate about (ecological)breastfeeding, EC, and other "AP" type practices. I have been preparing traditional foods for a little over a year and I also enjoy languages, traveling, culture, religion, reading and learning new things! I hope to grow some medicinal and culinary herbs soon and figure out what else I can grow on our shady property.
- Professional or business affiliations?
- None.

I've finally decided to bite the bullet and swallow my biggest fear: an elimination diet!! I am going to give up dairy for at least two weeks, along with my 18mos old son. I am mostly doing it for him, but am interested to see if it affects any of my minor ailments.
Reasons:
DS2 has had a rash in his diaper area, on his perineum, for almost his whole life so far. I've tried a lot of different things on it. It sort of comes and goes, but I am wondering now if maybe it is…

Consider posting in our many forum discussions, start your own "About Me" thread, or create a blog post about natural health and healing or about learning to prepare traditional foods. The beef heart experiments would make a wonderful blog post!
