Food allergy and intolerance

Wheat and its relatives are the commonest cause of food induced illness. Lactose, the sugar in milk, is the second biggest cause of problems. As many people leave childhood, the quantity of lactose they can digest is reduced. Any extra is utilised by bacteria in the digestive tract and produces considerable discomfort.

Many people suffer from other foodstuffs.

A processed diet often makes these problems far worse. The food combining diet will help prevent food allergy and intolerance from developing, by ensuring a diet based on a broad range of foods, and a healthy digestive system, but where problems have arisen the food combining diet makes it easier to identify and avoid problem foods because they are not hidden in refined mixtures.

Sending off hair samples for analysis and similar testing methods have no scientific basis. Self diagnosis of food allergy can also be dangerous. If you exclude a food that causes an allergy, your sensitivity to the food can increase dramatically. If you then re-introduce the food, it can cause a dangerous shock reaction. For this reason allergy testing should only be done under properly qualified medical supervision.

My throat swells and/or I get boils if I eat or touch soy. Some foods I thought I was allergic to, but since learned it was the soy/lethecin they contained. I also have milk intolerance, which can reacts on my bowel and/or forms excess mucus. Where can I find help with a diet? It is really hard to eat out because so many places use veg oil containing soy. Currently more foods contain soy. Besides this, I am really concerned about gasoline and furniture now being made from soybean. I will have to be afraid to sit on any seat or smell the air. I do carry and EpiPen. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jean I have to avoid soy and dairy as well as gluten. I don't eat out very much! I tend to avoid any manufactured foods that might contain unknown fats or oils, stick to fresh fruit, fresh veg, meat and fish and eggs. Rice and potato are my main staples. Tin fish in brine is useful for emergency when away from home. I also take dried fruit - but take care here, they can be soaked or coated in unspecified oil. Make sure they are oil free.
