What Does My Comprehensive Stool Analysis Test Report Indicate?
Allergy tests are not much reliable.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
Honestly speaking, such allergy tests are not reliable.
Chances of false positive results are very high.
I have seen many people who are having positive allergy test and doing well, not having any problem after eating food which was allergic to them according to the test.
So we should not rely only on allergic test results.
Clinical symptoms are also important.
If you are having diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain, skin rashes and itching after eating such food than allergy can be suspected.
So please let me know
1. Do you have above mentioned symptoms?
2. For what reasons you undergone feacal allergy testing?
3. What were your symptoms at the time of test?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.

but doc dismissed these as close enough. Might the one you asked for be under different initial/name?
I try as hard as possible to be dairy free because to much makes me feel washed out and lazy. However, it's in a lot of things. Still I try.
You might be having lactose intolerance.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through all the blood reports, but serum IgE was not done in your case.
It is marker of allergic disease.
By your history and description, I don't think you are having allergic cause.
Because food allergy will cause skin reaction like itching, rashes before breathlessness.
Lactose intolerance is another possibility. But it is present from childhood. It can not develop at later years of life.
So please let me know
1. Since how many days you are having these symptoms?
2. Do you have stressful life?
3. Do you have burning epigastric pain or burping?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better.

Wish you good health . Thanks.
A question. urinary tract infection. Twice in the last 1/1/2 years I felt I have had one, took the over the counter AZO test. It showed nitrates positve, and leukacytes (sp) negative. I went to doc and they said both negative. I find that weird, for it to happen two times on the home test.
I was once diagnosed with a cyst on the right kidney top. Might that somehow cause pain? Or might it change somehow to cause pain or deflate to cause pain?
I'm just grasping at straws.
Please don't tell me it is all in my head. Last time a doc told me that, ten years ago, by the time it was really diagnosed and I got to the surgeon, he told me I had hours, no more then a day to live. Very close call. Don't want to go through that again.
