No guarantees: Not every food group was likely tested, nor is every food sensitivity detected by blood-work. Sorry, but food allergies are still an imperfect science.

Severe anaphylaxis- do not drink, take any OTC or prescription meds or illegal drugs. Multi blood work perfect except GGT 215. No food/med allergy. Ultrasound, u/l gi, hydascan good. Attacks always 3 wk apart?
