Reply #7: There are diseases related to food sensitivities

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

Celiac disease is an example. In that disease, the body treats gluten as a germ, and, in doing so, literally makes a person sick. When the gluten is removed from the diet, the symptoms go away. Lactose intolerance can be more than just getting diarrhea or sinus problems--some people have such a severe reaction that they get sores on their bodies and become so debilitated that they can't work. Again, removing the source of the inflammation makes the symptoms go away.

Our clinic often tests patients for food sensitivities--there are several food antibody profile tests offered by various labs. Another benefit for avoiding eating foods that cause inflammation is that you can lose weight. We've had weight loss clinic patients who hadn't been able to lose an ounce even while faithfully following their diet regemine. When we do a food antibody profile and find the culprit and eliminate it from their diet, the pounds start coming off really fast.

Another sensitivity that we find in a lot of people is yeast sensitivity. This means eating a fresh/frozen diet rather than relying on canned foods. Vinegar also has to be avoided, as well as supplements with B vitamins (which, with rare exceptions, are made from a yeast culture).
