Food intolerance testing can
be performed to establish current sensitivities, although it must
be remembered that this can change! Food intolerances can manifest
through overconsumption, (i.e. we eat too much of one thing and
the body reaches it's tolerance level). They can also be the result
of toxicity and overloaded elimination channels! i.e. when the
drains are filled to capacity, the pollutants remain in the blood
and then it is a case of the straw that breaks the camel's back!
Therefore intolerances and allergies often indicate the need to
moderate one's diet and detoxify!
Testing for food intolerance is quick
easy and results are available immediately.
An
intolerant food aggravates the immune system’s mast
cells in the gut’s mucous membrane, causing the
gut to leak. Particles of partially digested food can then pass
into the blood stream setting up a chain reaction.
This
gives rise to symptoms such as migraine, excessive
weight and arthritis.
The onset of food intolerance is often insidious and thought to
be the result of normal absorption failing to take place.
The
food’s which cause subtle but adverse reactions may slowly
build up in number and severity.
Symptoms
are usually multiple, not consistent and may be affected by the
sufferer’s general state of health.
They
may take hours or even days to appear and include anxiety, mouth
ulcers, aching joints and muscles, fatigue, headaches/migraine,
sinus and mucus problems, digestive disturbances (indigestion,
discomfort, bloating, gas, etc.), hyperactivity and weight gain,
etc.
The
most common food intolerances are wheat and dairy products, citrus
fruits, nightshade family of foods and stimulants (coffee, sugar,
chocolate, etc.).
