Diet & Allergies

There are many ways to address symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities.   One is through diet. 

After listening to over 25 hours of research about gluten and non-celiac gluten sensitivity on The Gluten Summit, it is clear that many people suffer with some degree of what is called leaky gut syndrome.  This condition is believed to be responsible for poor digestion and, as a result,creates symptoms triggered by certain foods.

My work in treating symptoms of allergies and sensitivities is a more powerful holistic rendition of the western medical approach of exposure to small amounts of the allergen.   I believe it is more powerful because we apply a healing modality in the presence of allergens rather than simple exposure.

However, when a patient lacks basic proper digestion, then retraining a response to the allergen will not result in vibrant health.  A good nutritionist (my personal favorite follows the GAPS <Gut And Psychology Syndrome> –diet) can help patients to heal their gut and restore proper digestion.    It is this combination of healthy digestion and retraining response which I have the most confidence in for creating vibrant health.
