Apparently I have an intollerance to 80% of the foods I eat?

    After a bout of antibiotics I started having some gut issues. I since disovered the antibiotics destroyed my good gut bacteria and my micribiome diversity.

    Over the last few months I set out to repair my health and so I have been really considerate about what I put into my body. When I have a bad reaction to something I cut it out and so I was left with a diet which only contain: Fish, Poultry, Risotto, Nuts, Seeds, Fruit, Oats, Green Veg, Carrots, Potato. Literally nothing else and I have been following this diet for 6 weeks.

    Continuing on the health craze i decided to get an allergy/intollerance blood test. The test was for 175 foods. The results came back today and they were a little baffling to me to say the least.

    So out of the 30 foods I consume:

    5 gave NO reactions

    6 gave LOW intollerance reactions

    7 gave MEDIUM intollerance reactions

    4 gave HIGH intollerance reactions

    8 items were NOT TESTED

    That means out of 22 tested items from my weekly diet I have an intolerance to 77% of them! Which is an extraordinarily high number considering I only consume 30% of the foods tested.

    This test is leading me to believe it's picking up "intolerances" because of the foods I am eating. It's literally telling me what I'm eating. An assumption which is made stronger considering that the foods I have a medium reaction to I consume 2-3 times a week and low reaction foods are those I only consume 1-2 times a week. And all 4 high reaction foods I consume daily.

    Now have I been dramatically wrong when I began cutting out the foods that were causing me bad reactions or am i right to be suspicious of the findings of this test?
