As with airborne allergies, food allergies can cause fatigue, headaches, gastrointestinal problems, skin rashes, and a host of other symptoms.

The Hotze Health & Wellness Center uses several approaches to identify and manage food allergies including skin testing, oral challenge testing, and the Elimination/Rotation Diet to see if symptoms will result after eating a suspected allergenic food. In all, we test for thirty-five of the most common food allergens including wheat, corn, eggs, milk, yeast, and soybeans.

Most food allergies can be easily treated using the Elimination/Rotation Diet.  Fixed food allergies, such as seen with shellfish or peanuts, are permanent allergies. These food allergies are determined by history. The only current treatment for fixed food allergies is the complete elimination of the offending foods.

By making healthy changes in your eating program you can minimize many of the symptoms caused by food allergies. Our treatment of food allergies is 100% natural, convenient, safe and effective.
