Mary Whitehead, ND on Food Allergy Testing-

Food Allergies: Not just about digestion

   First of all: what do we mean by food allergy? We aren’t talking about an anaphylactic reaction—the often immediate response to a food or other substance.  For example, developing a rash after eating peanuts.   You probably already know if you have one of these.    Here we are referring to slow and  insidious reactions that might be harder to pin down. 

   What causes these allergies? The cause is a leaky gut—the barrier between the gut and the bloodstream has gotten too permeable.  When this happens, your immune system may see a common food item as harmful, and form antibodies against it.    This can lead to common digestive symptoms like gas, bloating, constipation or diarrhea.  But there are many conditions that can be aggravated when this happens.  These include:   

·        Atopic dermatitis

·        Painful bladder

·        Depression

·        Alzheimer’s

·        Seasonal allergies

·        Rheumatoid arthritis

·        Migraine

·        And more

  What should we do?  The short answer is stop eating the food(s) that cause symptoms.   The gold standard for finding this out is the elimination diet.  Although challenging, an elimination diet yields very useful information. 

  Is there another option?  Yes there is.  Food Allergy Testing.  This comprehensive panel looks for reactions to many of the most common foods.  Surprisingly, foods like eggs and meats are common culprits.  The test consists of a simple finger prick preformed in office.  Once we have the results (in about 2 weeks) we will start with eliminating the most reactive foods from your diet. While not always definitive, food allergy testing is a great place to start.
