After several years of playing around with my diet, a few weeks ago, I told Kurt I thought I wanted to try a nutritionist and see if I could get some help with my diet and learn to take the few foods I thought I could eat and find out how to turn that into a healthy diet and lifestyle. I did a Google search for a nutritionist and dietitian in Chicago and found a woman that specialized in sports nutrition and has written several books. She's been in the business for 20+ years and seemed like she knew what she was doing. I called to make an appointment with her office and she answered the phone. I told her what I was going through and she suggested an MRT test and I made an appointment to see her at her Chicago office on that Wednesday.
Simply put, the MRT is the Mediator Release Test. They take your blood and test it against 120 foods and 30 chemicals to find out what your body is sensitive to. Here are my test results…
The stuff in green is considered safe for me, but the stuff in yellow is not safe and should be avoided.
The dietitian also has taken out foods that are high in histamine due to my Urticaria Pigmentosa (UP).
