The big reason I suggest avoiding fermented foods is really for people with low histamine tolerance, and for foods that tend to have residual yeast.How To Die Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04140794258331787074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748294645716875119.post-17235630497788303482014-05-27T15:17:47.816-05:002014-05-27T15:17:47.816-05:00humm...

So sorry I didn't see your commen...Hi Michelle! So sorry I didn't see your comment until now. I need to set up notifications. I am very happy that I helped you out! That is the reason's I write these posts.<br /><br />So, allergies vary from person to person. I recommend cutting everything that I mentioned out all at once, and try reintroducing one thing at a time. Wheat/gluten is definitely one of the biggest offenders, but I know that rice/corn/soy definitely make things worse for me. Other people, not so much. Depends on your tolerance. Rice is a part of the grass family, so it is not uncommon for people to experience problems with rice that only serve to make their seasonal allergies worse.<br /><br />90% of food allergies come from eggs, milk, common nuts, shellfish, fish soy and wheat. So even if you have a small reaction to one of these it can set the stage for your seasonal allergies. I recommend going on a strict vegetable, meat and fruit only diet. And, make a personal decision which foods you can't live without. Create a food diary and document how you feel after eating the foods. You will find patterns with certain foods. Self experimentation is really eye opening! <br /><br />You can also go get extensive allergy testing done, which is a huge pain in the butt and involves many needles. But also can let you know if you are allergic to something random like cantaloupe.<br /><br />But, for starters I recommended making your next step to be cutting out dairy. This will offer the most dramatic results if it is indeed of your indirect irritants.<br /><br />Let me know how everything goes! Good luck!<br />How To Die Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04140794258331787074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748294645716875119.post-86492179777402566222012-06-18T08:25:06.647-05:002012-06-18T08:25:06.647-05:00What an extremely helpful article!

I have suffered from awful seasonal allergies at least 9 months of the year for the past 7 years, not to mention debilitating allergy attacks that were unpredictable and embarrassing as well as completely frustrating. I can't believe I didn't look into food causes until now. About 3 weeks ago I completely gave up wheat/gluten. The difference is AMAZING but I know I have to continue eliminating trigger foods to be allergy free. It makes so much sense.<br />My original plan was to work on eliminating dairy next, but now I am slightly confused/in need of clarification. Should I be eliminating ALL grains from my diet to conquer my allergies? I have been eating rice here and there but I will stop immediately if that is something that could be exasperateing my allergies. <br />My quality of life has greatly improved since I cut out the wheat&I'd love for it to continue to do so. Sorry for the long post, I just am hoping for a little guidance and you seem to know your stuff. <br />Thanks in advance, MichelleKachinaDollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071918472288294925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748294645716875119.post-85939997921406018962011-05-27T17:11:47.098-05:002011-05-27T17:11:47.098-05:00Great artical on food allergies.

He through a suprise my way when commented that dust mites are the 2nd leading cause of allergies behind pollen. He also noted that our beds can contain anywhere from 10k to one million dust mites! Although he is a mattress salesman, a smooth one at that, so maybe he was just tring to scar me into getting into a new bed.erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16783460013676374906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748294645716875119.post-24577728804489027772011-05-27T17:10:43.810-05:002011-05-27T17:10:43.810-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16783460013676374906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748294645716875119.post-70226400871086892502011-05-05T09:12:53.653-05:002011-05-05T09:12:53.653-05:00No, you're right I made a typo.

As I understand it these are not enzymes but are cellular membrane protrusions, (fingerlike in their shape) that increase the surface area to allow for greater absorption or secretion. <br /><br />http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=microvilli<br /><br />Is this where the enzymes would be secreted from? Not trying to play gotcha, just trying to better understand.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />MarcosMarcos Dinnersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762963334652323385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748294645716875119.post-5478380971476254482011-02-19T15:38:58.228-06:002011-02-19T15:38:58.228-06:00Awesome insight!Awesome insight!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04382641913044997999noreply@blogger.com
