Women's Food Intolerances
Many women attribute occasional bloating, nausea, fatigue, cravings or headaches to their monthly period or stress. Taking a look at the bigger picture often can show the root of these problems can actually be one or more food intolerances. If the symptoms mentioned above along with potential other symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, poor complexion or skin, trouble losing or gaining weight or digestion issues are common in your daily life it might be useful to take a look at your diet and consider a food intolerance.
Food intolerances should not be confused with a food allergy. Food allergies display different symptoms that tend to be more immediate upon consumption. Surprisingly only four types of food intolerances exist and they are dairy (lactose) intolerance, fructose intolerance, yeast sensitivity and gluten intolerance. Symptoms of this intolerance typically include gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, nausea, diarrhea and malabsorption.
Yeast sensitivity carries a wide array of symptoms including gastrointestinal issues, yeast infections, throat infections and ear infections. Headaches and breathing difficulties can also exist in people with yeast intolerance.
