Test For Food Allergies

test for food allergies
How can I insist on special tests, i.e. blood tests, tests for Food Allergies, for my autistic son?

I’ve heard of tests for food allergies, blood tests, and muscle tests on kids with autism. What kind of tests are there? Where can I get these tests? How can I insist on these tests for my son without offending/ alienating his current doctors?

High April. You may need to find a Doctor that specializes in ‘Environmental Medicine‘ of ‘Functional Medicine’ to help you with these issues. Some medical doctors, most Naturopathic Physicians, and some Chiropractors have this type of training.

The American Academy of Environmental Medicine website (aaem.com) lists physicians that are board certified in this field.

The Institute of Functional Medicine is another source of properly trained doctors. Their website also lists available doctors (functionalmedicine.org).

You and your son are facing a very challenging issue. You will definitely need to be a strong, outspoken advocate for his needs. The mainstream medical system may resist your efforts, so be strong and courageous and follow your heart’s intuitions.

Best wishes and good luck.
