Beginning the LEAP!

I've been feeling bad for a long time.  I am going to investigate whether this is related to foods that I have been eating.  A couple of weeks ago, I saw a nutritionist who does the LEAP diet and MRT food sensitivity testing, sent my bloodwork in and got my diet recommendations.  I'm going to start on Monday.   Here are the foods I tested most sensitive to and then the list of foods I can eat for the first 2 weeks.

First, my diagnoses:

And then my frequent symptoms:

• ankles
• back
• elbow
• hands
• shoulders
• neck

nasal congestion

ear itching
frequent urination
urinary pain
sneezing
