Itchy skin alongside anxiety - Which tests to take?
I very often get itchy skin on my scalp, forehead, jaw, hands, torso, thighs... all over, on and off. I eat a paleo diet, but I still have these problems that seem to be greatly getting in the way of my anxiety and
Depression self-treatment. An alternative MD I've gone to brought up an IGG Food Antibody Blood Test and a Stool Analysis, both by Genova. The former, through research, seems to be unreliable, and the latter is more expensive, though it may shed light on bacteria and more. I suspect bacterial overgrowth, as I've had
Antibiotics as a child, and probiotics cause a severe negative reaction in me.
This problem is really getting in the way of my life sometimes. I would really appreciate someone who could get me to say more information, or who can at least recommend things to mask the symptoms meanwhile. OTC anti-histamines make me feel drowsy and flat.
Thank you!!
