I have had H.S. (hidradenitis suppurativa) for over 10 years. For those that don’t know, this is an autoimmune disease that causes extremely painful draining cysts throughout the body but especially in the groin and armpits. It was often mild (though sometimes debilitating) but a constant. I always had at least one or two open cysts and thought this was normal. I had tried many diets including cutting out sugar, wheat, gluten, dairy, following AIP and others. My LEAP results showed why I had not had success, because my intolerances were things I would have never discovered on my own.
After 1 month of eating strictly “Phase 1” foods I saw a huge improvement, now with 6+ months of eating mostly safe and a few “Phase 2” foods (in moderation) I maybe get one cyst a month and it lasts for a few days and never becomes inflamed or drains. The severity and frequency of my flare ups has decreased by at least 90%.
I am so grateful for this test. I was on antibiotics at least 3 times a year and used a RX cream daily. I haven’t had to see my dermatologist since starting and no longer need topical creams or antibiotics. A huge bonus is my migraines have gone away as well, which was not even why I took the test.
Thank you so much for this amazing test. I even got my husband to take it for his health issues!
