rjlockhart37 -- There's a difference between a true food "allergy" and an "intolerance". I used both terms because many people use them interchangeably, but they're quite different. Food "allergies" create the typical symptoms one thinks of, ranging from a tightening throat to a rash to anaphylactic shock. Intolerances, on the other hand, are usually created when one has a damaged digestive tract and may or may not cause immediate symptoms...mine have been more delayed (usually a few hours afterwards).

I didn't believe in them at all until I tried that trial and it turned me into a believer. Nevertheless, I didn't want to have to avoid all the foods causing a reaction forever, so I kept researching to figure out what the deal was. I mean, I ate these foods just fine as a kid so why did they cause problems now? It was digestive issues even though, like I said, I didn't think I really had any. But those can be healed and I'm so thankful because I love my ice cream!

It might be worth a trial of avoiding the common allergens for a couple of weeks just to see if that helps. What's the worst that could happen?
