Food Intolerance

I do a lot of food intoleranc testing with blood labs with people. I find the most common food intolerances are dairy, eggs, beef, and soy. Now we ask ourselves why are we intolerant? Well, we create it most of the time. Sometimes it is genetic, but it was created by someone at some point or another and pasted on.

When you eat crap foods, conventional foods, gluten containing foods, drink alcohol, take Rx or OTC meds, etc, you create various types of gut dysfunctions (dysbiosis, leaky gut, parasites, bacterial overgrowths, etc). When this happens, food particles slip through when you eat and drink with a meal. The body sees these particles (antigens) as invaders to the body and blood, so the immune system attaches antibodies to them. Then when you eat certain foods again, your body sees them again as antigens and begin having an intolerance.

So what do you do?
1. Get an 90 Antigen Food Intolerance Test done through BioHealth
2. There are many things specifically that I use to heal the gut if there are certain types of bacteria and parasites, but on a more general note:
1. Of course organic foods
2. 90 Elimination of all dairy
3. Elimination of all gluten and sugar containing foods
4. Diet consisting mostly of protein and fats, with veggies for carbs
5. Not drinking during meals
6. 4oz aloe each a.m. with Biodofilus (from Biotics Research Group) probiotic in powder form
7. 6 pills of Sac B in the a.m. for 2 months
8. 6-8K mg Cod Liver Oil for 2 months
9. Biogest from Thorne Research Group (liver, pancreatic and GI enzymes) for 2 months
