Before my doctoral program – which required me to narrow down to a specialty – I had studied food intolerances. Joeromersa Many books on the subject start with food reactions, and then move into chemicals in our homes and offices, gasoline fumes, and more. Important as those things are, they’re not about nutrition. Penginapansekitar
Recently, I “attended” a webinar by J.J. Virgin, whose first book (I believe) was on food intolerances and how to eliminate those foods to improve health and lose weight. The webinar re-sparked my interest in food intolerance and addiction. Tidplusdesign Common triggers for food intolerance include chocolate, corn, soy, wheat (or other gluten-containing foods), peanuts, dairy, eggs, sugars and other sweeteners. Powerpeacepurpose
Signs and symptoms can include headache/migraine, joint pains, fatigue, sleepiness, heart palpitations, depression, irritability, stomach pains, bloating, and many more. Fotografohdr
Because digested food moves through the bloodstream, the effects of an intolerance can show up virtually anywhere in the body. Food reactions might be the same every time the food is eaten, such as a rash. Force-collision Or the reactions might vary – say, a non-itchy rash one time and itching with no rash another time.

The reaction might be cumulative. Maybe a small portion of the food causes no reaction, but a portion eaten again that day, or several days in a row, does causes one. Addiction is another possible reaction that may develop over time. What Causes Food Intolerances? The causes are many, but let’s keep it simple. Ebbfilter We can become intolerant to a food we eat often or in large quantities. Overeating a food uses up enzymes specific to digesting that food, so complete digestion is prevented. Tidysnap That may result in improperly digested food particles moving through the digestive tract and bloodstream, triggering an immune reaction. The undigested, unabsorbed food provides no nutrients.
We can also become reactive to a food we eat together with another triggering food. So the list of triggering foods may grow, resulting eventually in malnutrition. Food Reactions May Change over Time The guiding principle of the human body is homeostasis. Ligiercars
When a trigger food is first eaten, the body attempts to restore homeostasis by ridding itself of the offending food. It prevents absorption by attaching antibodies to the partially digested food while it’s in the intestine. Myremoteproducer That might successfully eliminate the food before it can pass into the bloodstream. If the food does enter the bloodstream, it can trigger inflammation. Ayracdergisi
