Food Allergies and/or
Sensitivities
The Problem Many individuals suffer chronic health symptoms that are related to a bio-chemical reaction to
specific foods.
Often they have been suffering for years from this kind of reaction without any idea as to the source of their
problem.
Some of these reactions result from food allergies as defined by traditional medical
testing.
However, we know that many individuals have reactions to foods, to which they have not tested allergic by
traditional methods.
Either way, the result is usually chronic symptoms, compromised health and quality of life.
The
Effect Food reactions include many different
manifestations that one has from eating a specific food. The array of symptoms is unlimited.
This can literally include an A thru Z listing of symptoms.
A partial list includes: arthritis symptoms, many different skin conditions including acne,
and eczema, heart arrhythmias, headaches including migraines, indigestion, sleep disturbances, gall bladder
pain, asthma symptoms, fatigue, chronic pain, weight gain and the list goes on and on.
Sometimes the only apparent short-term symptom is sudden weight gain from water retention.
Whatever the effect, we are healthier without it.
The
Solution These reactions are always most noticeable
when a food has been avoided for an extended period of time and then reintroduced.
Learning that you react to these foods can make a significant difference in your health.
While on the Weight Loss & Wellness For Life program, you have been taken off many of the
typical foods which people have a reaction to and this is why you might start experiencing allergic symptoms
once you start eating normal foods again.
If you have had chronic symptoms that either have been completely eliminated or significantly
reduce while on the weight loss for health program, watch carefully for the return of any of those
symptoms.
If this happens suddenly, review the foods reintroduced in the 24 hours preceding the
reaction, and report that information to Dr. Hardy as soon as possible.
In the meantime avoid any of the foods that were reintroduced in the prior 24 hours.
If these symptoms return slowly over time, be sure to report the return of your symptoms to
Dr. Hardy at your next appointment and they will instruct you as to how to
proceed.
With the assistance of Dr. Hardy you will be able to determine which food or foods are the
offender.
This important information can make a dramatic difference in your long-term health, health care, wellness and
vitality.
