Other common allergic conditions which you are familiar with include eczema, rashes, respiratory problems, asthma, and earaches. If the intestine is damaged for any reason it becomes leaky. A breast-fed child who is weaned properly is much less vulnerable to leaky gut. When the gut leaks proteins that would normally be held back are able to pass through and cause allergic reactions. This type of reaction is the basis of food intolerance.
Any food can invoke such a reaction.
Generally foods that are eaten most often or foods that are craved are the ones that are the most suspect. In this country, dairy and wheat are the most suspect, in America corn is often the culprit and in the Far East where the diet is radically different rice and soy are the most common allergens. Because this type of problem is not a true allergy it can be treated. Any food that is eaten often should be removed from the diet for two weeks. At the same time it is essential to ensure that your child has an adequate quantity in essential nutrients.
