Allergies and a list of Culprit Foods that can trigger them
Allergies can be responsible for: asthma, sinus, hay-fever, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, itchy skin, arthritis, constipation, indigestion, headache, migraine, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel, yeast overgrowth, excess mucous and flatulence.
Many people today suffer from allergies. Allergies are accumulative and a reaction may not take place for up to four days. Eating the wrong foods can aggravate most health problems. It is often the case that people crave the very foods that they are allergic to.
Contact with allergens increases inflammatory mediators in the blood, which then inflames tissue in any part of the body.
- In the joints it can cause arthritic pains.
- In the respiratory tract it can cause sinus, asthma, and excess mucous.
- In the nervous system it can cause headache, migraine, depression and tiredness.
- In the skin it can cause rashes, eczema, psoriasis and hives.
Below is a list of foods that can be involved in an allergic response.

As you can see the list is long and the allergy may only be for a short while. Sometimes the body associates the food that you ate when you succumbed to a virus or illness (such as flu) as a threat. This is an inappropriate response to the food as it was a virus that was the culprit not the food.
Kinesiology is able to change the response to the food and reset the body.
A healthy diet is to eat variety, colour and seasonal foods and therefore an exclusion diet can be hard on the body’s nutrition not to mention emotions. Let a Kinesiologist assist your body to eat a diet rich in all areas.
