As discussed in part one, food allergies can cause many more problems than you or your doctor probably realize. After having worked with thousands of patients with food allergies, we know this to be true.
Symptoms list continued from Part 1:
Acne
Yes, acne really does have a lot do with your diet. If you suffer from acne then you need to consider food allergies as a cause.
Heartburn
Heartburn isn’t just about spicy food. And it isn’t about overproducing stomach acid. Heartburn is about inflammation. Many of our patients tell us that their heartburn has resolved after having worked with us. You could be the next.
Reflux in infants
Infants reflux and throw up food because their little bodies are rejecting something, and they are rejecting it for a good reason. We can help you understand that reason and find the diet appropriate for your infant that will help your little one thrive.
Colic
Babies cry incessantly and fail to sleep because they are uncomfortable. And of course, they are uncomfortable for a reason. Let us help you figure out why. The results will speak volumes, and you’ll both sleep much better.
Joint Pain
Joint pain, whether or not it is arthritis, is often caused by food allergies. Over and over patients have told us how much better their joints are once they start avoiding their allergenic foods.
Fatigue
If your immune system is spending a lot of time fighting your food, then that is a big drain on your energy. It is not at all surprising when our patients tell us they have much more energy after learning of a food allergy and then avoiding that food. Fatigue can even be the primary symptom of a food allergy.
Anxiety/Depression
Food allergies can really drag you down, and they can make you feel less grounded. We often have patients tell us that their (or their kids) mood is better after food allergy treatment and that they don’t feel as anxious.
Muscle aches/Fibromyalgia
Muscle aches and pains are all about inflammation. There must be a cause, so why not look for it? Food allergies are often that cause.
Autoimmune diseases
Many autoimmune diseases are strongly correlated with food allergies, and often significantly improve once the foods are removed from the diet. Celiac disease is only one example.
IBS/Gas/Bloating/Constipation/Diarrhea
We spend a lot of time treating people with digestive problems. If you have one, then there is an excellent chance that a food allergy is the cause.
Frequent colds or flus
Do you seem to pick up every infection that comes along?
Are you sicker than most other people around you? This is a frequent complaint of people with food allergies. If your immune system is attacking your food, then it’s not as strong at attacking infections.
—
If you suffer from any of these symptoms, or something that seems unrelated to food, consider the possibility that food allergies are part of the problem. Food allergies cause inflammation, and are distracting your immune system from doing what it should be doing. Don’t take our word for it, read the testimonials on our website, and come see us and find out for yourself.
