According to the Centres for Disease control and Prevention, food allergies are becoming an increasing concern in children of all ages.
1 In clinical practice it is common to see food allergies associated with a wide range of medical conditions affecting virtually all ages of the population.
Food allergies can cause physiological changes in the body that result in mild gastrointestinal symptoms to moderate to severe inflammatory conditions such as eczema, asthma, sinusitis, chronic bronchitis and colitis to name a few.
The highest concentration of immune system cells is in the Gastro-Intestinal tract, thus foods play an immensely important role in all allergies and sensitivities.
Each person's ability to metabolize toxins, pollens, foods and chemicals can differ considerably according to his own biochemical makeup.
Individual blood testing using ELIZA (Enzyme Linked ImmunoAssay) Technology, can detect hidden food allergies that cause delayed reactions.
Food allergies cause inflammation and poor nutrient absorption, resulting in a variety of health problems.
Once you determine the foods that you should avoid you can begin a detoxification treatment which involves avoiding those specific foods for a period of time.
Unlike immediate food allergies which cause a severe and possibly life threatening immune reaction, delayed food allergens may be re-introduced once the immune system is supported.
Detoxification is one of the best ways to strengthen your immune system and reduce your overall 'toxin' load.
Detoxification involves dietary and lifestyle changes that reduce the intake of toxins while improving elimination.
The avoidance of chemicals from food or other sources, including refined food, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, helps minimize the toxin load.
Drinking extra water and increasing fiber by including more fruits and vegetables in the diet are also essential steps.
Additional Factors affecting the incidence of allergies include: emotional stress, hormonal imbalances, infections, seasons, and nutritional imbalances.
A Naturopathic Doctor is able to provide a complete health evaluation through various laboratory test and clinical examination to help treat and prevent common chronic and acute illnesses.
