Re: finally! a new treatment is now available!

Ok fair enough.

So you've been tested for gluten sensitivity and it's all come back negative?

Been tested for lyme and it's all negative?

Had stools samples/blood tests and no digestive or hormonal issues? No inflammation detected? No other issues other than EC?

Yes it is demoralising for me but I just fear whether you've had proper diagnostics with correct feedback. There is a lot to get wrong and you know that as well as I do.

I have about as much interest in stringent diet plans as you do, believe me when I say that. I've tried a few myself and it's compounded my problems and made me worse, mostly because they were calorie restrictive. Same feelings about them as you. That is why I won't change without evidence and if you are saying you have evidence that your EC is nothing other than atopic dermatitis then yeah that shuts me up.

As I must have said before the value is in the quantitive data and some tests are only accessible through naturopathes (as you know), that doesn't mean I am expecting miracle cures from these alternative health people. I'm not. I value their access to tests I can't have through the state. Their suggestions and diet plans I can devise myself with the help of the net and this board and it's users.

I've also spent the equivalent of about $1500 on this so far but the vast bulk of that has been for quantitive testing and not consultations. If I could deal with a lab myself who would do tests for me I would but they don't.

I would just appreciate some clarity on those things. If you really mean me not to post in the thread I won't. I'm not looking for an argument.
