The Hypoallergenic Diet is a diagnostic and therapeutic diet based on research and the clinical successes of many naturopathic doctors and nutritionists. It is an easy to follow program that will help you identify food sensitivities and the foods that optimize your health. Most individuals have one or more food allergy or sensitivity. The reason is simple. Either, our enzyme pathways are not selected to digest those foods compeletly, or we are over eating them. Impropper digestion is a problem. The immune system begins to compensate for it by making antibodies. This is called Oral Tolerance. Food sensitivities are associated with oral tolerance and too many antibodies in the blood stream. Just think of the foods that you dislike. The reason is that they donât sit well with your senses; they either donât smell right, donât taste right, or they bother your stomach. This dislike is a natural faculty or a sense. With the onslaught of processed foods this natural sense diminishes and over time the inherent ability to discriminate foods that do not suit the individualâs genetic make up is lost. You can regain this natural ability with the Hypoallergenic diet.
