Did you ever wonder if that runny nose immediately after eating dairy or eggs, or that stomach ache a few hours after eating wheat, was a "hidden" food allergy?
With concerns of "hidden allergies" increasing, some who were never tested for allergies are now modifying their diet by temporarily removing common allergens.
Among those making the attempt, many are finding a reduction in "idiopathic" joint pain, sinusitis and "unexplainable" stomach aches that appear after eating certain foods. For some, uncovering a delayed food sensitivity can aid them in developing a program to limit or avoid problem foods. Some research, as reported in Medical News Today, even links infertility and repeated miscarriages to undiagnosed gluten allergies.
Experts do not advocate blaming every ailment under the sun on undiagnosed food allergies. But for those who experience allergy symptoms, ranging from a runny nose and mild stomach discomfort or a delayed-onset rash, to difficulty breathing, cramps or vomiting, experts recommend seeing a board certified allergist.
