Re: Naturopath and Food Sensitivity Test
It involves something called bio energetic screening. Here's a link:

http://bhawc.com/page.php?6

I know some naturopaths have more tests than this one...I think they can test blood samples too. My SIL will be going to one that can do 3 tests for sensitivies.

It seems so "new age" - weird and not something I was even interested in trying. Then a few friends w/ kids who have health issues went and go them tested. They found the info overwhelmingly helpful - better than any formal allergy test. From reflux, to asthma and eczema, to behavioural issues...I've been told of success stories. We'll see if I can add Ella to the list of successes.

Re: Naturopath and Food Sensitivity Test
Fingers crossed, no vomitting spells since I've really worked on cutting out dairy and chocolate. I still have some wheat, but alas, so does she. I really watch to make sure that I don't eat too many of her sensitive foods which seems to help. My pants are even more loose now. Hopefully, it's a win-win situation. She doesn't seem to be in any pain and she's becoming even more vocal. I don't think that this house will ever be peaceful again! LOL... it is rather amusing to hear her babble and squeal. She's still not sleeping through the night - she wakes 2 times w/in 11 hours. However, she's much more peaceful. I now know that she's waking to eat (habit) and not because she's uncomfortable. She eats and goes back to sleep. Also, no more wimpering or sudden cries. Also, less eye rubbing too.

Let me know how the test goes with Emma!
