Since there are 18 group members around here, both in our house and living nearby, we all got together to do the food antibody blood test. We spent a couple weeks trying to eat at least a little of the many items on the list so that the test would be accurate. (Note here: many results were for food that most of us swear we never had in our lives!) Then, on a selected day, an appointment was made for the local home-health nurse to come out and do the blood draws for everyone. Since we did the tests in a batch, we got a discount.
Just like our heavy metals tests, these tests were rather shocking. It gives an all-new angle to everything we have been doing in terms of diet.
First thing to note is that, just because one does NOT have an "allergic reaction" to something, doesn't mean it is good since it can be bad in other ways. I don't have a negative test result to coffee, but I KNOW how it makes me feel and that it must be handled with caution. I also don't have negative test results to certain peppers that I KNOW, from experience, make my joints hurt. I don't have negative reactions to a lot of high carb foods, but I know what carbs do to my insulin and energy. So there are obviously numerous factors in play here. One can't just start eating the "non-allergic" foods willy nilly and think that all will be right as rain.
Nevertheless, if one does everything they can according to the various plans we have experimented with, and still some hidden factor seems to be blocking progress or full recovery or optimal energy, etc, it seems that it might be food allergies/sensitivities in action and the further step of eliminating them could be the key. We don't know yet for sure; we are just at the beginning of this phase.
Anyway, with that background, I'm going to give here the list of foods that I, personally, tested reactive to just to show what a surprise it can be. There are 4 levels of reactivity with 4 being worst:
4
Egg white
Chicken egg
Egg yolk
Peanuts
3
Goose egg
Oats
Sunflower seed
Berries misc.
Almond
2
Quail egg
Cow's milk
Vanilla
Agar-agar E 406
Plaice
Coalfish
Halibut
Guar gum
Flax
Camel milk
Chickpeas
Rye
Perch
1
Mussel
Aspergillus niger
Oyster
Spelt
Gluten
Bolete
Pineapple
Pear
Buckwheat
Cranberry
Barley
Kefir (fermented milk)
Banana
Herring
Fermented milk cheese
Mandarin
Cooked milk
Chicken
Mustard seeds
Whey/rennet
Ricotta cheese
Brussels sprouts
Then, of course, there's a whole list of other foods that do not cross that threshold into being counted an allergen, but they, too, have levels of reactivity so that some "safe" foods and safer than others. In short, you can get a lot of information from this test.
Chu is going to compile a list of the foods that are MOST FREQUENTLY reactive to our 18 person sample, though it will not denote individual level of reactivity. But generally, there are two foods that just about everybody reacts to in a strong way with only a couple of exceptions: Eggs and Dairy (mainly cow dairy, but surprisingly, I am reactive to camel's milk, but not goat or sheep's milk!). The test separates egg whites from egg yolks and both seem to be about equally bad.
That means that Fat Bombs are OFF THE TABLE.
So, stay tuned. I'll be adding more to THIS POST as I get it.
ADDED:
Here are Ark's results. Gives a whole new perspective on people just taking garlic willy nilly for detox! Notice also that he, too, is reactive to vanilla. Nearly everyone is! Another reason that Fat Bombs are off the table! Also notice the reaction to aloe vera! A famous health remedy! And cumin! And honey, and ginger fer gawd's sake!

So there it goes the theory about eating traditional foods. 
seeing as i'm eating 2 a day; i've never noticed a reaction or any negative effects but considering the comments, it doesn't appear to be very obvious what you are intolerant to.
