Food Intolerance
This means any adverse reaction to food where involvement of the immune system is not proven, because skin and blood tests and other tests for allergy are negative.
Although this is a controversial area, studies have now shown that the food intolerance is involved in diseases and conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, migraine, arthritis, Crohn's disease, and hyperactivity. These are only a few of the conditions which respond well to an elimination diet. The only sure way to discover if a food is causing symptions is to eliminate it from the diet, then reintroduce it slowly, monitoring the symptons.
Allergy and nutritional therapy identifies the foods and substances that cause these problems.
