They don't do much blood work besides your normal stuff.
I think if anyone wants to really dig deep and look at diets and allergic reaction they will have to seek out that stuff as an out patient and find a doctor that offers that treatment. Maybe private fancy rehabs would offer that type of care, but I would not know.

Thank you, Christina. That's about what I expected to be the case
in most instances. It's no doubt helpful, but a little sad, in my view,
that more isn't offered.
The patient really needs to take a pro-active role in his care considering the parameters described here for in-patient routine treatment , I think.
