Ahhh Milk and Cookies

Milk and cookies, an iconic American snack are becoming way less popular then when I was a kid due to the whole wheat free and dairy free movement and some people are getting relief. The rest of us. . . mmm, not so much.

Did you know that only 8 foods represent 95% of all food allergies?  Removing these makes economical sense and can be do-able and I did, but I still didn't get the relief I was looking for.  

Mediated release test measures inflammation markers released from your white blood cells.  This one test alone, exposes why all fad diets will not work.  They simply leave out individuality: we don't share the same DNA or food sensitivities.

One of my favorite auto immune/Paleo meals- seasoned mouthwatering steak with lemon drizzled broccoli and a side salad with dressing finishes this healthy high energizing Paleo meal and of course I declined the tomatoes because of my autoimmune disease.

Let's get to the nitty gritty -  Exposing the problem.  This luscious meal would leave me bloated and  inflamed for a month.  The MRT test revealed what was ailing me that I couldn't guess in a decade.  A slow and steady cascade of inflammation was being squeezed from my white blood cells because I was reacting to six things in my health conscious Paleo meal.  The black pepper that was used for seasoning on my steak was a highly reactive trigger spice for me as well as the lemon on my broccoli.  To make things worse broccoli was a trigger food as well as the lettuce in my salad not to mention the hidden soy and tomatoes in my dressing.  I did what all health conscious people do,  I finished this meal with a tall glass of alkalizing lemon water which is insanely reactive for me.  Talk about pouring gas on a fire- whew!

Just like being in the sun all day does not become painful until the evening, I was getting a second degree burn from six things and just one healthy meal that would not expose the painful burn until a week later!  Of course by then at the end of seven days I would be exposed to hundreds more trigger foods continuing this cascade of inflammation; to the point I honestly could no longer detect who the arson was as there was a bandit of pyromaniacs. 

I might as well have had milk and cookies and laid out in the sun all day.  

So instead I become a problem solver by no longer guessing and decided to test.  I did the MRT and have not had to guess since!     JROD
