Could you mention the specific name of the test used?
I highly suspect that I suffer from food allergies as well that cause me to feel tired, fatigued, disoriented, confused, irritable, and less social. I had heard the theory of food allergies in the past, and never really saw the relation between them and my situation until I started to learn more about them, and how many of my symptoms are related to my food consumption. At work, I had stopped eating breakfast and would hold off on lunch as long as I could, because I knew that once I ate, my symptoms would be exacerbated. I thought perhaps that this was a blood sugar problem, but my blood tests came back normal. After learning more about food allergies, I became convinced that this was my problem, so I set off trying to determine what foods I react and do not react negatively to. At this point, I know that eggs, milk, wheat, and oranges can really do a number on me. If I eat a highly restricted diet, like chicken and corn - I end up with more energy - I feel perfectly fine, actually. The problem is finding out what else I'm allergic to. It's very troubling to go out to restaurants with friends or co-workers and not know what I can and can't eat. There are times when I have gone out to eat with friends, happy and sociable, and minutes after eating become sad, lethargic, less talkative, and confused.
Therefore, any information you can provide as to what tests you have used, or additional resources on the topic would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
