Dr. Carrie Jones: Food Allergies Vs. Food Intolerances

November 18, 2008 - 11:09am 624 reads 0 comments

Of course the food you eat is probably not responsible for ALL of your symptoms, but it could be perpetuating an unhealthy cycle. For example, allergies and intolerances might not be the only reason for your joint pain but the inflammations they produce make your pain that much worse.

If you are going to eat three meals a day anyway, then you might as well make them worth your while. Say good-bye to foods that are not benefiting your health and take note of the changes in your symptoms. You just might have an “Ah-ha” moment too.
