If any food allergy is allowed to persist, the intestinal wall will remain inflamed and toxic absorption will continue. Other foods that commonly test as allergenic are almonds, peanuts, and garlic. The most common of the allergenic foods are dairy, gluten grains, and eggs. Be careful of these ingredients in packaged foods or foods prepared in restaurants. A non-allergenic diet can be obtained by eating meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, potatoes, rice, millet, and fruits.
Many patients feel that certain foods are allergenic because of reactive symptoms.
We have to distinguish sensitivity from allergy. A food that might cause sensitivity, like tomatoes or oranges, causes discomfort because of an imbalance of digestive acids and enzymes. Real allergies cause damage to the intestinal lining by initiating an inflammatory reaction, and ironically, are usually without any perceived reaction. Diet is perhaps the hardest path for patients to follow, but this is what determines who gets better and who doesn't. Your management and encouragement here is essential to a real success.
