The Top 8 Foods People Are Most Sensitive To -- Without Even Knowing It!
by Vesanto Melina, MS, RD, and Jo Stepaniak, MSEd for SixWise.com
Do you:
- Experience occasional or frequent indigestion?
- Feel gassy or bloated during meals or shortly after?
- Get migraines or other types of headaches?
- Frequently have nasal congestion, or intermittent joint
pain?
- Have periodic or seemingly random bouts of anxiety, insomnia,
or fatigue?
- Does your mind sometimes seem foggy?
Countless people are plagued by these symptoms as well as
and an assortment of other ailments that often are misdiagnosed,
misunderstood, or brushed off by conventional health care
practitioners, leaving us with more questions and confusion
than explanations.
Surprisingly for many individuals, these common complaints
may often be linked with a single cause: food sensitivities.
"Food sensitivities" is a broad category that covers
both food allergy and food intolerance.
Food allergy is the reaction of the body's immune
system to a food or food ingredient that it recognizes as
"foreign."
Food intolerance is an adverse reaction to a food,
food ingredient, or additive that does not involve the immune
system; it typically involves the digestive system.
Symptoms for both allergies and intolerances can be similar,
involving the skin (e.g. hives or eczema), respiratory system
(e.g. asthma), nervous system (e.g. headaches or depression),
or digestive tract (e.g. indigestion or bloating).
While almost any food or ingredient might be a trigger for
reactions in a few individuals, the eight culprits responsible
for 90 percent of food reactions are:
- Milk and Milk Products
- Eggs
- Fish
- Shellfish
- Soy
- Wheat and Gluten
- Peanuts
- Tree Nuts (such as Almonds and Walnuts)
Although avoiding a particular food culprit may seem relatively
simple, there are many ways we can be exposed to it unknowingly.
If we are unusually sensitive, even food particles carried
through the air or that come in contact with our skin may
stimulate a reaction. For example (though this situation is
rare), peanut aromas have been known to induce a life-threatening
response in highly peanut-allergic children.
Cross-contamination-a process whereby particles from a trigger
food are introduced to a safe food-is a common occurrence.
Cross-contamination can occur during product manufacturing
when several foods are processed on the same factory line,
in restaurants when various foods are prepared or served simultaneously,
or at home when the same utensil is used to dole out different
dishes.
Derivatives from foods we are sensitive to may be "hidden"
in prepared products because we may not be familiar with how
they are listed on package labels. Or perhaps we just might
not be aware of the types of ingredients and food additives
that could be causing us difficulty, so we don't know what
to be on the lookout for. Sometimes the solution to a perplexing
ailment is as simple as avoiding a single ingredient, or adjusting
our buying, eating, and kitchen habits to avoid cross-contamination.
