Did you know you may not react to a food for up to three days after you consumed it? A food allergy almost always shows up immediately in a rash, itchy throat/mouth or digestive problems. A food intolerance is much less obvious but can be just as serious.
According to "Your Hidden Food Allergies are Making you Fat", 'The low-grade, chronic nature of a delayed food reaction is called "masking" because it conceals the food as the perpetrator....Examples of "mask" symptoms are fatigue, chronic sinusitis, rhinitis, arthritis, depression, colitis and ADD."
I recommend this book if anyone is interested in learning more about how foods actually affects every working organ and how damaging it is to eat the wrong foods.
I would like everyone I know to get tested for food allergies. This book uses the ALCAT test in it's research and personal stories. This is a more involved blood test than the skin test I took. After all is said and done and I work out which foods I can actually live with in my diet without causing any problems, I know I will be the better for having found out my food allergies.
Having said that, you should know that sweet potato chips are very good and that buckwheat is not THAT bad, just different. Four more weeks to go before I can add something back in. Hmmm...what should it be?
