Has anyone every had their child tested for food sensitivities?

I have my 6 year old daughter on a healthy diet and she takes fish oil. But recently I eliminated dairy from her diet and saw a difference in her behavior. I then reintroduced, in small amounts, dairy back into her diet and saw a flare-up of symptoms. Her symptoms tend to be inconsistent which might be explained by a food intolerance. Anyone had a similar situation?

@ChristineStehn I'm impressed that your pediatrician acknowledged the need for probiotics - is it a DAN! doc or a conventional doc?

yes but the tests are not highly reliable. We treated for food issues using NAET. His symptoms went away.
