I've no idea what yeast. It was the test from www.food-detective.com. My
nutritionist recommended it as the most reliable of the home tests, though
she does admit it's got it's limits. Basically you take some blood, add it
to the developer and pour it into this little tray (there's actually about 3
or 4 steps) and watch for a change in colour.

I've tried various different elimination diets that the nutritionist put me
on. This test was to see if there was anything we'd missed. There is a much
more comprehensive test where you send the blood away but it's 5 times the
price and I really can't afford it.

I love mushrooms but then I also love a couple of other things I reacted
with, eggs and oats. I reacted to all the grains and gluten, but we already
knew that. I also reacted to eggs, tomatoes, lemons, oranges, grapefruit and
soybean.

I'm willing to just eliminate everything that showed up for a month or so
and then try some of them one at a time. I just wondered about the raw apple
cider vinegar since it took me so long to find it :-(

Thanks for all the help
