Has anyone ever had sensitivity testing to see what their body may be reacting to?

    Hi 

     I have had GA for about 8 years. I was thinking about doing blood testing. Wondering how your elimination diet was going and if it was helping.?

      Hi Carrie, I am 3 months in on no gluten or dairy. Sometimes I think there is an improvement and other times not. I was south and got tanned so don't know if that is covering it or not. I am going to go 6 months and see what happens. Hopefully, I will be able to tell for sure by then.

    Hi Guys,

    I'm just over the three month mark as well, 12 kilo's down and have heaps more energy.... allergies have all cleared up and GA is hardly noticeable...... Like Ettiboy said some days I can see it but noooooo where as bad as it was! and it seems to have stopped spreading at this stage,but it is coming into winter here so I guess the test will be when summer hits again.... keep up the good work Ettiboy!

      Thank you for your message.  It's very frustrating as my rashes seem to be spreading.  I'm going to try to cut down sugar and gluten.  I already don't eat meat and not much dairy.  I've had AG for months already.  Best regards...

    Thank you for sharing your results. My rashes seem to be spreading. I've started pro biotics and magnesium. Topical ointments don't seem to help. I'm using a prescription on my left side and aloe on my right side. I agree it's internal. I got ga after prescribed cipro. Also it occurred by a bruise from foot massage. UGH!!!

      Hi there Leezack.

      This condition is very individualized. I have not yet found out what my body doesn't like. I do believe that one must give it several months of trying something new before giving up. In most cases, something we put into our body or something we are exposing our body to is the culprit. We just have to keep deleting things from our diet and maybe some day we'll get it right. Good luck.
