Many people simply live with these symptoms and believe it’s normal for them.
However, some individuals, like you, will have been able to relate these to a food you’ve eaten or something else in the environment.
The reason for this difference is that some of these allergy symptoms happen within minutes while others take many hours to develop.
So why does your body react this way?
The reason is that your body believes that these otherwise harmless substances (animal hair, foods, and grasses) are threatening.
And so, when it comes into contact with these substances, (in this case they are known as allergens,) your immune system releases large amounts of the chemical histamine.
How does Histamine act in Allergic Symptoms?
Histamine is like a burly bouncer outside a club: its job is to muscle an allergen out of your body by any means necessary.
Some of the ways histamine does this job is by producing redness and inflammation, a running nose, itchy eyes, constricted airways, bloating and diarrhoea. All these are signs of allergy symptoms.
But why does your body think these substances are harmful and mount this response against them in the first place?
Steps in your body’s immune system’s response.
They include:
Inflammation within your digestive tract (where the majority of your immune system is found).- Damage to the lining of your digestive tract commonly known as leaky gut, allows small particles (undigested food, bacteria, and/or toxins) to pass through to the bloodstream causing inflammation in other areas of the body).
- Low levels of good bacteria and/or an overgrowth of bad bacteria within your intestine that interferes with your body’s immune response.
So in allergy treatment, and especially in food allergies treatment, not only do we initially need to avoid the things you react to, but we need to address the underlying reasons for your unwanted allergy symptoms
As you can see from the above, we need to repair your gut, improve your ability to tolerate allergens, as well as reduce your allergy symptoms or food intolerance symptoms.
Following a prescribed diet in conjunction with specialized supplementation greatly assists in reducing symptoms and building tolerance to allergens.
Your Naturopath will recommend a specific dietary plan depending on your symptom presentation and health history.
