Food Allergies and Sensitivities

Do you suffer from digestive problems, such as gas, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation?

Do your eyes sometimes feel itchy or watery?

Do you often experience fatigue, hyperactivity, or difficulty in concentrating?

Do you suffer from recurrent asthma, bronchitis or sinus problems?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may be experiencing symptoms caused by food allergens. The symptoms may be immediate or may be delayed – by hours or even days after exposure.

There are two major ways to identify food allergens:

  1. The allergy elimination diet. In this diet, you would eliminate foods that tend to be troublesome such as dairy and wheat. After a period of time, you would then add back the eliminated foods, noting which ones cause your symptoms to reoccur.
  2. A LEAP blood test which identifies the body’s reactions that cause delayed responses – "hidden allergies" that do not show up on conventional tests.
