I have a gastro appointment on Oct. 1st to see why my gut is in so much pain. Fun fun. I keep seeing those food sensitivity tests advertised. Like they test your blood or something. Do you know what I'm talking about? I wonder if those actually work.

Do you know what I'm talking about? I wonder if those actually work. Yeah, I've seen those too. I'm afraid it will tell me I'm sensitive to all my favorite foods. Like when I went to Cadence's allergy testing for moral support and got tested too. Now I'm on monthly allergy shots and allergic to everything while she's basically fine.

Do you know what I'm talking about? I wonder if those actually work. I was looking at those and was wondering if they would be good for B, with all his constipation issues, maybe it would help me figure out how to get him to go more regularly. But then it will probably just reconfirm that I shouldn't be giving him processed foods. And he's picky AF so I don't want to hear that lol

klong11 Could the RA and the gut issue be linked? Any history of either in your family? ETA: I ask because I saw this person on tik tok say gut issues can cause neurological issues. I just google searched RA and gut issues and some interesting links came up. Who knew?!

Now I'm on monthly allergy shots and allergic to everything while she's basically fine. I’m with you. I was going to do one but I’m not willing to give up gluten and lactose, which I think I am sensitive to so I didn’t waste the money. I learned about them from someone on GD. I had no idea they existed for at home testing.

I just google searched RA and gut issues and some interesting links came up. Who knew?! Ahhh, my entire family on my mom's side has gut issues. Crohns, UC, IBS. I'm the only female to still have my gallbladder. My mom has all kinds of gut issues. She even had to have surgery to remove the connector valve thing, plus quite a bit of her intestine.
Essentially, I'm a walking time bomb.
Add that to all the issues from my Dad's side....diabetes, heart issues, strokes
Fun times.
