Several of my success stories in treating many chronic conditions involve a simple food allergy test. Whether patients discover they have a gluten intolerance or an allergy to dairy or almonds, many common conditions have simply been eliminated due to avoiding a sensitivity to a specific food or food group. I've underlined a few of the common conditions that have made life-changing differences.

Definition:
An allergic reaction is an immune response to a foreign substance (antigen) that results in inflammation and organ dysfunction. Allergens can be chemical, environmental or food-based. In people with food allergies/sensitivities, an immediate or delayed adverse reaction by the immune system can occur to a food that most people find harmless.

1. Immediate (IgE-Mediated Response): An IgE-mediated allergic response is an immediate reaction within two hours after eating food. IgE-mediated reactions are mainly seen in airborne allergies (pollens, dusts and weeds), and are not seen as often in food allergies.?
2. Delayed (IgG-Mediated Response): An IgG-mediated reaction is a delayed response, usually 36-72 hours after exposure to an antigen. IgG-mediated reactions are seen in most food allergies. The delayed response makes it difficult to pin down the specific food allergy.

Signs and Symptoms:

1. Immediate IgE-Mediated Response- Anaphylactic shock (most severe)- Rash- Wheezing - Hives - Swelling - Anxiety - Difficulty swallowing.

2. Delayed IgG-Mediated Response- Gastrointestinal complaints including stomach pains, heartburn, excess gas, chronic diarrhea/constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers and malabsorption problems - Dark circles under the eyes - Sinusitis - Itching - Chronic fatigue - Edema - Joint/muscle pain - Puffy eyes - Acne - Anxiety/depression - Chronic swollen glands - Eczema - Insomnia - Headaches (migraines) - Hives - Asthma - Wheezing - Hyperactivity - Bedwetting - Canker sores - Arthritis - Chronic infections - Frequent ear infections - Irritability - Weight Gain
