True food allergies, in which the body's immune system reacts
inappropriately to a harmless substance, are rare. However, you may be
intolerant of, or sensitive to, a number of foods.
It is estimated that only 1 percent of adults, usually men, and 5 percent of children have food allergies. By contrast, food intolerance are common and can lead to irritable bowel syndrome, eczema and other skin conditions such as migraine, asthma and rhinitis.
There is no drug therapy to treat food allergies. The only hope of a cure is to try neutralization or EPD techniques. However, the most effective way of reducing symptoms associated with food intolerances is to avoid those foods that disagree with you.
The best way to find out which foods you cannot tolerate is an exclusion diet. Consult your doctor, then try the elimination diet suggested opposite. To find out which foods upset you may require three to four months of food testing and repeated unpleasant reactions when banned foods are reintroduced.
It sounds simple enough, but it is hard work giving up foods you may enjoy and which are part of your everyday life. There is no short cut. Although a number of tests have been promoted as quick ways of making a food intolerance diagnosis, studies have shown that none is reliable.
There is no scientific evidence that hair analysis or cytotoxic testing, in which blood sample is taken and the white blood cells are mixed with food extracts, are accurate ways of accessing whether you are intolerant to certain foods.
With a Vega machine, you hold one electrode and your toe or finger is touched with a second while different foods are introduces into the circuit. However, there is no proof that this can pinpoint your food intolerances and it could even do harm, since if you follow the advice obtained, you may become malnourished.
