Too many Drs act like if it doesn't show up on their test, I should just pretend like it's not happening. They must know that allergies and intolerances work differently, but they only focus on allergies and act like you can't have a bad reaction if you don't have the antibodies.
It's possible to have antibodies and not be allergic and it's possible to not have antibodies and be allergic. And intolerances don't create antibodies anyway. So why do they act like the allergy test is king?
If I eat something I'm allergic to, I end up in the ER cuz I
physically can't digest it. So why do they think I need to be told not to eat it? Why do they think that ridiculous bit of advice is going to solve all my problems. I'll be fine as long as I don't eat these foods I never eat cuz they can kill me. Uh, what's changed? #NEISVoid
Now I can go home and all these foods I'm not allergic to will stop making me sick. You said the magic words that cured intolerance - "Don't eat anything you're not allergic to" and 🧙🏿♂️✨ poof, I'm healed!
And how is it you hear "I get sick every time I eat" and don't think I should have Medical Drinks? How are you not shocked that I'm in so much pain from something I have to do? Why is this not treated with urgency? Why are so many Drs like this? Who are you in this profession for
