Specializes in Clinical Psychology

A food sensitivity: is a possibility. Stay w/your doctors and consider getting a food sensitivity panel. Great Plains laboratory in Kansas USA has a dried blood spot panel you can do through the mail if you can't find a doc locally to test for food allergy/sensitivity. Conventional panels are not always as helpful. Peace and good health.
