Food intolerances have a delayed response and generally happen over a period of time from hours to days. They mainly affect the skin and intestines. They are generally known as IgA or IgG immune responses. Conversely, food allergies have an immediate reaction and are known as IgE immune response.

When certain types of foods are consumed the body makes different types of Immunoglobulin (antibodies). These are antibodies that help the body to mount an immune system response.  Antibodies are proteins made by the immune system to fight antigens such as bacteria, virus and toxins.

8 most common foods that cause intolerance/allergic response:

• Cows milk / dairy (most common in babies)
• Eggs
• Wheat
• Soy
• Shellfish
• Fish
• Peanuts
• Tree nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, macadamias)

Whether it’s an intolerance or allergy, bio kinesiology will determine the offending foods, toxins or antigens that are causing your problems and provide a treatment plan that will set you on the road to recovery.
