I've heard about this lab a few times over the last few months and was curious if anyone else has heard anything about about their new arrays.

Kelly,
My dietitian recommended being tested by that lab - apparently I would order the test through her. The concept of reacting to foods in combination is interesting, and sounds very plausible to me. I believe Gabes has had some personal experience with this. I have not been at a point where I have felt comfortable introducing yet another test, with its accompanying variables. I'm still working out which foods I can safely tolerate, and am moving very slowly in this endeavor. For anyone who is further along in their treatment program, it's probably a great test.
Love,
Kari

the tests in Kelly's link are a bit different to the ones i had hoped to do.
the functional pathology i was going to do looked at any toxicity evident (metals etc) and vitamin levels. WHen i got the referral, the tests were going to cost me $1000 AUD and i couldnt afford it.
for me now, the BIA has given me information on about 70% of the things that the functional pathology tests would have told me. so my $42 BIA appointments are much better value

That's super Gabes - BIA sounds intriguing.
I'm going for acupuncture once a week, and believe it's helping. She is working on desensitizing me to various foods, and she is also testing and treating me for combinations of foods, after the individual ones have been "cleared".
In my note above, I was actually referring to how you figured out on your own that you can eat certain foods separately, but not in the same meal?
