postheadericon Difference between Food Allergy and Intolerance

Here is a link for a video answering the difference CLICK HERE

I had years of masking with wheat, finally after I had my 3rd baby I had a full response which included:
  •  Hives
  • Arthritic Pain
  • Migraines
  • Nausea
  • Fatigue
  • Bone Pain
  • etc
Doctors did not know what was wrong and no one mentioned food problems. I finally went to an allergist that tested my positive for wheat.  They gave me a prescription for an allergy pill and told me just not to eat brown wheat!

It's no wonder I continued to be ill with that kind of advice.
Finally, I found a good allergist that also is a strong proponent of holistic medicine and looks for the root causes of poor health and he doesn't just try to fix the symptom.
 So, I now receive proper advice on my health plus I also have read much on the subject of food allergies.

Now my symptoms have greatly decreased and I can finally eat wheat on a 4 day rotation cycle with no adverse affects, except dark circles and maybe some fatigue, but not always.

Dairy is also an issue. Lactose is not my problem either, I think it is the milk protein. Once again I can have it on my rotation, but it is a gamble if I will begin to develop a sinus infection.  However, I know how to manage that with a procedure that nips it in the bud most of the time. I list my sytem on another post for sinus problems.

In general most food allergies will show up with an IGE test and most food intolerances will come up on a IGG. Most doctors not offer the IGG or even know much about it unfortunately.
