Finding and Losing Your Hidden Food Allergies

How are you feeling, right at this moment? The odds are that it’s well below your potential for pain-free, symptom-free, high-energy living – and all for a simple reason. You are eating or drinking something that doesn’t suit you.

Your reaction to what you eat may not be immediate or severe. But it could be insidiously adding to your burden of unwellness, with the potential to tip over into chronic health problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, migraine, chronic fatigue or asthma.

Of course, there are other allergens – airborne substances such as pollen, or dust mites or cats’ dander (flakes of the animals’ skin). Chemicals in food, household products or the environment can be culprits, too. The most common, however, is food.

Officially, an estimated one in three of us has an allergy, according to a survey by the Royal College of Physicians. But this could be a serious underestimate. In Europe, allergy is considered to be the number one chronic illness. And in one survey of 3300 adults, 43% said that they experienced adverse reactions to food. In another, 70% of people suffering from a wide rage of chronic illness, who had failed to respond to conventional treatment, found relief from their symptoms by identifying their food allergies and avoiding those foods. Almost a quarter obtained 100% relief.

In my experience, the vast majority of people have no idea that their health problems may be related to eating specific foods. Most peoples’ food allergies are truly hidden from them.

The truth is that the majority of people, including you, are likely to suffer for years not only not knowing they have an allergy – but also, not knowing how to treat it by identifying which foods they react to and how to regain their tolerance to those foods.
