Sensitivity testing in children

My 4.5yr old is having frequent tummy aches, this has been happening for at least 6-8months. At least that's how long she's be telling us. We've been trying the narrow down what could be triggering it and it seems to be a "bread" issue. She would never eat much of her sandwiches for lunch at school and her choice for lunch is salad! What 4yr old takes salad to JK?! Love it! Usually if you ask her what she wants for a meal it involves veggies, hummus, eggs, meat...but never breads. If you give her pizza she'll eat the toppings off, if you give her a sandwich she'll take it apart and eat whats inside. So it has been quite easy to narrow down what is bothering her but we want to know 100%.
I have booked her in to have her intolerance tested next Friday with a lady in Newmarket. She is a nurse practitioner & holistic nutritionist. This testing is very non-invasive, its probes on finger tips, Bio Impiedance Analysis so you don't feel anything and the #'s that the machine reports are compared to norms and then you have your intolerances. The list is HUGE, so its very interesting to see what your body reacts to and what to avoid. I have had many clients have this testing done and it's been very eye opening and very accurate!
I'll keep you posted on results next week for sure.
If you'd like more information in this testing feel free to contact me and I'll send you the contact information for our practitioner.
