and cocoa bean apparently.

Only got it done because I bid for it at a school auction thingy.

Interesting though.

Anyone else had it done?

I didn't have an intolerance test but went to a GP who branched out into Homeopathy.

Very interesting diagnosis and technique and put me on an anti-candida/yeast diet... the things that contain sugar and yeast limited my diet so severely...

for cocoa bean ...

Had it done a couple of years back.
Showed the usual suspects-wheat,dairy yeast,plus eggs and then odd things like blackberries, garlic,hazelnuts and black pepper.
I excluded them from my diet for about a month and then got bored.

I thought wheat would come up as well but no.

God you had loads arctic-what a pain and dull.

Basically, the diet allowed such a limited diet (lettuce anyone!) and it was the middle of winter, I put it off and I'm still breathing!!!

Hope the test advice helps, ggirl - bit of a bummer having to stay off cocoa so close to the choc fest that Easter becomes...
