Guest guest Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I realise there are genuine food allergies, but be careful of getting caught in the allergy trap. Candida alone can cause allergies because of a messed up gut/liver, but so many people have had contradictory results from allergy testing or assume because they get some kind of reaction that this automatically means 'allergy " when it may not always be that and healing symptoms are very similar to allergy symptoms. If I listened to the different practioners who told me I was allergic to this or that (each giving mostly contradicotry results), I'd probably not eat at all. The main thing is building up your immune system with good healthy foods, fats and supplements, reducing candida and allowing your body to heal. And mainly that means simply avoiding all sugars and forms of sugar like fruit, milk, honey, etc, grains and high carb vegetables also. Concentrating on proteins, fats and safe vegetables. You maybe interested in reading this excerpt from an article: Healing Reactions are Not Allergic Reactions An allergy is defined as: " A condition in which the body has an exaggerated response to a substance introduced by inhalation, ingestion, injection, or skin contact, often manifested by itchy eyes, runny nose, wheezing, skin rash, hives, diarrhea, gas, bloating, headaches, aching muscles, joint pain, and many others. Please note that these reactions are exactly the same symptoms as healing reactions. These reactions are created by the immune system, as a healing response, indicating that it is working very hard to eliminate and/or minimize the effects of toxic overloads on the body, or the ingestion of a poison. Candida overgrowth itself contributes over 79 different types of toxins, most of which are alcohol. Handling this overload is like trying to handle a hangover every single day of your life until you get rid of the candida overgrowth. There are many other toxic sources in our environment and foods as well, which add to the toxic overload on the body. Some substances aren't merely toxic; they are poisonous, which causes direct debilitating damage. It is widely published that allergies are caused by a depressed immune system. At the same time allergic responses and symptoms means the immune system is working extremely hard. When the immune system isn't working up to par, it results in a total breakdown, so that bacteria, viruses or diseases, such as cancer, are allowed to take over. However, a healthy immune system is designed to destroy bacteria, viruses, cancer cells, etc. Many people mistakenly assume they are allergic to many healthy foods, herbs, spices, etc. because of allergy tests or body reactions, which doctors also label as allergic. Please note that almost all allergy tests are inaccurate and they should not be relied upon to determine your allergies. Some allergies are obvious, because they are caused by toxic substances, i.e. room deodorizers, smoke, chemicals - in the air, body care products, cleaning products, etc.), smog, chemtrails, pesticides, etc. But allergies to animal dander, dust mites, dust, mold, pollen, etc. are less obvious. However, not everyone reacts negatively to these substances, which obviously points to a depressed immune system in those that do. It is a fact that the body can, and will, react to good unadulterated foods with " allergic-like " symptoms, which is exactly the same way it reacts to toxins or poisons. However, reactions to good foods are not allergic reactions, they are healing reactions. When the body receives the nutrients it needs to heal, it goes into high gear, doing its job of healing, which creates healing symptoms. The long list of healing symptoms are exactly the same as the long list of allergic reactions, i.e. increased mucus in all mucus membranes (nose, sinuses, throat, lungs, intestines, stomach, etc.), headaches, stomach upset, gas, bloating, difficulty breathing, inflammation, heart palpitations, swelling, rashes, hives, diarrhea, constipation, fever, etc. In fact hives are a healing reaction too. It is caused by the immune system releasing histamines and other chemicals into the bloodstream to handle toxins or to affect healing. Histamines causes hives, rashes, itching, swelling, and other related symptoms. Although hives may be uncomfortable, they are generally quite harmless and disappear on their own. Therefore, do not be alarmed if you get healing reactions from good foods like eggs, coconut oil, butter, and other good healing foods. If you get reactions that are alarming or intolerable just cut back on the amount and gradually increase it. > > My last post was met with a single offline response, and I bet you're all tired of newbie " I'm > overwhelmed and don't know where to start " posts...so I'll try to rephrase and be more > specific. > > I'm a big picture thinker and am trying to understand the relationship between food > allergies and candida and leaky gut.....hence the role of a food allergy diet in getting to a > better candida balance, versus a candida diet. > > I am allergic to sooo many foods that my " food allergy diet " eating list is very restrictive, > then rotating it makes it even more so, and making it a " candida diet " makes it yet even > more so.

You say " Please note that almost all allergy tests are inaccurate and they should not be relied upon to determine your allergies. " Do you have any articles or research to back up this statement?

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Zookie, for the record I'd like to support Adam's statement by pointing out that when a person has a rather large toxin load they react to all kinds of things they they won't react to once the toxin load is reduced and eliminated. This is similar to the basket term of multiple chemical sensitivity, degree of which also reflects overall toxin load, and somewhat akin to somebody no longer reacting to lactose once her bowel ecology has been corrected.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 HI Zookie, The article I got that from I am not allowed to disclose on this forum at this time. I can email it to you if you like. But my reasoning for the allergy thing personally is based pretty much on my experience on here with reading what other people have gone through and their testing and the continued contradictions (myself included in this). when you go to more than one professional for allergy testing and you get differing results, I always feel something maybe up. Put it this way, I think allergies are hard to determine because when you're immunity is down for the count, it's amazing how many things you will react to and by removing too many of them (even healing foods) I believe will be in the long run a bigger problem. I understand the need to remove obvious ones such as wheat/gluten grains, milk, which are bad for candida anyway but when you get told you're allergic to this and that to the point where you wonder what on earth you're going to be able to eat.. I feel it's more damaging. Again this isn't putting down all tests and belittling all allergies, such as the ones that are life threatening, or destroy health over time like someone who cannot digest gluten (candida can cause that). Fish etc. I went to a few people to determine my allergies and by the end of it, I was more confused than I started. Who to believe? Well, for me? It came down to trial and error and I simply removed that which I KNEW was not necessary in my diet and was a common problem for those with yeast - wheat/gluten grains, yeast, milk, sugar and I went from there. It is actually astounding what happens when you remove the main and common problem foods that contribute or cause yeast overgrowth. But when you're in the thick of it, you could be reactive to almost anything simply because of the yeast and lowered immunity. Try excluding the obvious and see what takes place once the gut begins to heal from no sugar, gluten etc. It takes a while, but many other so-called allergies often disappear.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hi Adam, Lately I've been thinking the same way as you. It seems counterproductive to remove from your diet the foods that are the most healing, even though a test may show that you're allergic or sensitive. My allergy test showed that I have a " sensitivity " to whey, which is one incredibly healing food. I'm also sensitive to many of the ingredients in Garden of Life's Perfect Food green food supplement. I have been taking whey and Perfect Food for about three months, and I probably developed the sensitivities due to my leaky gut and repeated daily exposure to these foods. But does it make sense to cut these two wonderfully healing foods from my diet? I just don't know.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 The whey, Z00kie, will help to heal the intestine by virtue of its glutathione precursors, its glutamine, AND its direct influence on intestinal ecology. Similarly, green foods are healing. The allergy tests are showing temporary sensitivities, not allergies; I'd ignore them at this point unless a couple of the healing foods make you essentially a hospital case. I agree with Adam generally and his last couple of posts are right on. Duncan > > > > HI Zookie, > > > > The article I got that from I am not allowed to disclose on this > > forum at this time.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hi Zookee, I know it's really annoying the whole thing. I think the main thing is to eat foods that do not feed yeast, are healthy and do not mess up the gut. If the gut and liver begin to improve and healing takes place, the hypsensitivities tend to improve or disappear over time through patience and persistance to the diet. Its amazing what I can react to the sicker I get. Concentrate on the healing foods and stay away from the toxic and yeast feeding foods, unless you have a real true blue allergy like to fish where it can be fatal. I really reckon that grains, sugar, and too much other high carb are the bigger issue and believe they contribute or even cause illness by their action, especially if you already have a low immunity from something else. You're kind of a sitting duck (as I am). I reckon that whey may help you. It's kind of a vicious cycle. We remove more and more stuff from teh diet, lose more nutrients, get weaker, get more sensitive and on it goes. I eat the same stuff everyday, but am unaffected by it because it's healing foods, yet I am hypsenstiive and allergic....I figure that if the gut can heal, these things become almost a non issue unless we once again begin to indulge in the bad stuff and end up where we started. It takes time to heal, often many weeks/months of ongoing frustration. IT's not an upward smooth climb, most often it's cyclic symptoms that go on and on daily until we begin to break out of it through the slow healing going on quietly. Duncan's suggstions are part of the aid to healing from this and providing the body with what it needs also, which is why I see many people get results on here from trying it. There are people who do not believe in the theory of developing sensitivites to food you eat often. But I think with some foods that due to their nature, there is an accummulative toxic effect perhaps, or the feeding of yeast, irritation to the gut, difficulty digesting it (like gluten), that would cause gut problems, from there the development of other intolerances/sensitivities to other foods that may not have normally caused an issue. But again, I am not a professional and I have only gained what I believe from those much more knowledgeable than I am. Still even then there are contradictions among them too! So it's not easy for us sick folk. Adam. > Hi Adam, > > Lately I've been thinking the same way as you.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Thank you Duncan. You and Adam have confirmed my suspicion that discontinuing whey and Perfect Food would do more harm than good. You hit the nail right on the head, Adam: " Put it this way, I think allergies are hard to determine because when you're immunity is down for the count, it's amazing how many things you will react to and by removing too many of them (even healing foods) I believe will be in the long run a bigger problem.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi zookie, you're welcome :-) I hope it helps you, but go by your own symptoms over timeand of course if things dont start improving or your just not getting anywhere you can always give it a break and see what happens. I have to do this sometimes, experiement because I dont know what is helping me or harming me. I'm sure the whey can only do good, but again Ive not tried it myself so I cannot give a personal opinion. But I think in the early stages of conquering candida it is very hard because of the slow healing process itself, which is easily upset by a few cheats or an allergic grain or something like that etc. that's how it's been for me anyway.
