I am often asked this question. The role of food allergies interrelated to disease is minimized by mainstream medicine. The concept of severe food allergies is accepted by more traditional medical doctors now but the fact……. that a food allergy might cause or aggravate digestive & other health problems isn’t easily accepted.
Even though hard science supports the link between food allergies and many illnesses, such as gastrointestinal problems, chrone’s disease, irritable bowel & colitis, headaches, repetitive ear infections & possible learning disabilities……the role of food allergies linked to disease in still minimized by most of the medical profession.
Food allergies can cause as well as aggravate many digestive complaints……and Intestinal illnesses can cause food allergies. Let me just say that food allergies & digestive problems go hand in hand.
The good news is that many food allergies once identified, can be avoided or you can be desensitized to them. With either treatment approach, it can reduce your digestive symptoms or eliminate them altogether.
A significant number of chronic digestive problems are often improved by figuring out food allergies through muscle testing & desensitizing to suspected foods or avoiding those foods in your diet.
The quickest & cheapest way of seeing if some regularly eaten foods in your diet, that you might be allergic to, is to try a one week elimination diet …. And see what happens with your symptoms.
Generally, if you feel a lot better after avoiding the food you normally eat and consuming only foods that don’t cause discomfort, you’ve got a pretty good idea that you’ve got some food sensitivities. By introducing one suspected food at a time to your body, after you cleared allergic reactions from your digestive system for a week, you’ve be able to experience quite tangibly in your body what foods you are hypersensitive to. That is the simplest way to start honing in on what your troublesome foods are in your diet area.
