Food allergies can be sneaky and can easily fly under the radar. Sometimes food allergies cause immediate, severe reactions and are quickly identified. But other times, the symptoms are more mild and tolerable so they’re attributed to other factors or dismissed.
Food allergies and food sensitivities occur when the body has a reaction to certain foods; essentially an immune response is stimulated and inflammation and increased production of free-radicals (the bad guys that destroy healthy cells) occurs.
According the experts at Valley-based Derma Health Institute, if the food allergy or sensitivity is unidentified, a person could be consuming the culprit food regularly, leading to chronic activation of the immune system. In some cases, the result can be major illnesses such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and dementia. But in cases where a food sensitivity is more mild, it may manifest as the inability to lose weight, a bloating sensation, a stuffy nose, or other condition that seems fairly normal.
Do you struggle with fatigue, skin issues, irritability, depression, anxiety, trouble losing weight, achy muscles and joints, or stress overload? It could be your hormones or your diet.
If you think you could be suffering from a hidden food allergy or hormone imbalance, Derma Health Institute is holding a free seminar on hormones and food allergies on Saturday, June 20, 2009 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Ahwatukee location, 1345 E. Chandler Blvd, Building Number 1, Suite 105. This informal presentation will be hosted by a physician and followed by an open question and answer session. RSVP here.
