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 or with food sublingual allergy drops. 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.
