Try your local health food shop - i had allergy tests as a child and they stick needles in and it's really not good. As an adult I had the ones at the health food shop which do not stick needles in and found I was allergic to milk, orange juice and alcohol. Gave them up and was better within 2 days.

Milk I'm ok with after 20 years [wow, that went quick], but orange juice and alcohol I can happily live without as they make me feel so rough.

Chocolate intolerance is very very common; and you can have a balanced diet - you just have to be a bit more analytical at working out what you can and can't have. After time, you can become immune again, esp if you totally cut it out and introduce it very very slowly into the diet.

It is a nightmare trying to get GPs to test for food allergies/intolerances. In fact, they just don't seem to want to offer any allergy testing service at all.

I've been seeing my GP for about 2 years & they have done every test but allergy/intolerance tests. I feel that I do have intolerances, but really need testing in order to start controlling them.

I already suffer with allergies and asthma.
