I suspect my DS is MSPI, but how do we know for sure? Is there a test for it? I have a follow up with the Pedi GI specialist tomorrow afternoon and would like to know what to ask for if needed.

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, NO. There is no test for intolerance only allergy. Allergy testing isn’t even accurate until 2-3yo. So, it’s a big pain in the rear when trying to figure out intolerances. It would be lovely if there was a test. 🙂

The best way to determine if your LO is intolerant is to take all offending foods out of his/your diet(TED) for a good 2 weeks. Once you do this begin a log tracking how his behavior/sleep/stool/etc is. After getting everything regulated out you can then begin to reintroduce foods. Look for signs of intolerance and journal it. Add a new food once you know he isn’t reacting. I believe there is a link by Erin discussing everything to look for and how long to go in between foods. Hopefully Laura can post it. There is a LOT of info, but it really gives good info. This would be your best bet when indentifying food intolerance. HTH!
