Has anyone used a functional medicine practitioner for food sensitivities?

Hi There,

I know lots of people here also have a lot of food sensitivities.

I seem to have about 30 which causes stomach churning and acidic throat. Having cut them all out using a food diary, I will be OK for a month, then a new one will develop, so it's tricky to keep on top of them.

My gp, gastroenterologist and diecitician don't know why this is happening.

I found myself looking at Dr. Kharrazian and looking at gut health/nutritonists who are functional medecine pracitioners. It sounds like they know what they are talking about, but I dont want waste a lot of money on them if they don't work.

Has anyone used a functional medecine practitioner, how did you find the experience?

Thank you :)

Making a post here is a good place to begin. I looked up the doctor you mentioned, and he seems well qualified. Does he have a practice near you?

My friend Merrie Lynn Stewart does good sensitivity testing. She's an acupuncturist in Shreveport Louisiana. You could ask her if she can help you locate someone in your area. She has a protocol for healing the gut of sensitivies. With sensitivities after you heal the gut the sensitivies can go away.  Acupuncture Shreveport on olive Street is her business.

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start feeling better soon.

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.
