| We met Mike while staffing an
information table at University Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. He
said that his undiagnosed severe food allergies caused microscopic
blood clots which affected his circulation, so much so that small parts
of his fingers had to be amputated. |
| We
received an inquiry in July 2007 from a double transplant recipient. He
stated that upon receipt of his first transplant, he experienced
symptoms of acid reflux. Upon further visits with his doctor, an
allergy test was prescribed. He said that he acquired what was thought
to be temporary symptoms of
food allergies and that it may have been attributed to the autoimmune
suppressant prescribed to keep his body from rejecting the
transplant. After several months, the food allergy symptoms subsided.
Upon receipt of a second transplant, the symptoms of acid reflux
returned and a second round of food allergy tests was prescribed.
This time, additional food allergies manifested. |
| A medical professional described a case in which someone was
accused of insurance fraud for having symptoms and treatment
for arthritis. When severe food allergies was diagnosed and a
care plan in place, the symptoms of arthritis subsided and treatment
for arthritis no longer necessary. |
