Hi First name / there,
We hear about food allergies every single day. And it seems like new ones crop up regularly.
Dealing with food allergies can be extremely frustrating.
It requires meticulous attention to detail in so many areas of life…
- Grocery shopping
- Food preparation
- Eating out
…and in severe cases, you must carry injectable medication to combat the effects of foods your body can't handle.
But how can you tell what is an allergy vs. an intolerance?
And, is there a more holistic approach to managing food allergy symptoms?
YES! Let's break it down:
Food allergies are an immune system response to a protein your body has flagged as dangerous. You may experience a rapid onset of unpleasant symptoms like hives, swelling, and stomach troubles.
Food Intolerance is strictly a digestive response and is related to an inability to process certain foods. You may feel bloated and gassy or experience loose bowel movements.
If your symptoms are systemic and hit right away, even if you only had a little bit, this may indicate an allergy.
If your symptoms are limited to stomach/gastro issues and vary depending on how much food you have, this may only be an intolerance.
Your body is sending you a message about how it feels about what's going on in your body.
So how should you respond?
>>> Antihistamine medications are only effective at providing temporary symptom relief and do not help your body heal long-term. <<<
But here are a few holistic interventions for food allergy relief that DO:
✅ Nutritional adjustments
✅ Cleansing
✅ Herbal supplements
✅ Energetic healing
✅ Immune support
