Hello folks. I have a question regarding the numbers associated with sensitivities. I assume that the higher the positive number is, the 'more' sensitive one is to the substance.
Example: Mine are soy: 17; gluten: 15; dairy; 11.
So, am I 'more' sensitive to soy than gluten than dairy, then? Also, how high do the numbers go? Has it been your experience that your highest numbered sensitivity is your worst symptomatically? I know it *seems* to me that soy is my worst... And dariy *did* seem to be my best of the three, but I'm not doing any of them right now.
How high do the numbers go?

Hi Kimberley,
According to Dr. Fine, the size of the numbers has no significance, other than anything 10 or higher is a positive result. Many of us feel that there does exist a spectrum of sensitivity, however.
You can get an idea of how our results have been running, by looking at the listings here:

I'm thinking that Dr. Fine has mentioned that results sometimes run over a hundred, but usually they're much lower, of course.
I get the impression that most people who are sensitive to soy, react more severely to it than the other intolerances, regardless of their test "scores", but I could be misinterpreting what I'm reading, about this.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
