For many reasons, food allergies have become more common. This article explores the causes of food allergies, as well as ways to identify and manage them.Food allergies cause a range of symptoms from mild to severe. True food allergies (anaphylactic) are less common in nature. Less severe inflammatory and immune responses are common. Symptoms provoked by the allergen may develop in the gut or in other parts of the body. For example, food may provoke rashes, hives, heart palpitations, headaches, mental fog, etc. Food allergies can have a big impact on one's quality of life - causing either uncomfortable symptoms or a highly restrictive diet leading to nutrient deficiency. Food allergies may also restrict one's ability to participate in social situations involving food. Causes of Food Allergies1. Difficult to Digest FoodsThe most common food allergies are caused by difficult to digest foods such as peanuts, wheat and dairy. Few people are allergic to easily digested foods. However, there are some exceptions to this rule with notable examples including shellfish and oranges.Difficult to digest foods strain the digestive organs and tend to sit stagnant in the gut. The longer a food lays stagnant in the digestive tract, the more the body starts to perceive it as a foreign invader. 2. Toxins in the GutStagnant food also ferments in the intestines, leading to gas, bloating and the formation of metabolic wastes (ama). The spongy small intestine absorbs these wastes into the bloodstream where they circulate and effect all organs, particularly the liver.These toxins irritate the liver, and the immune system may be activated to assist the liver in cleanup. This activation of the immune system makes a person highly reactive and likely to develop an allergy. 3. Leaky Gut, Gut Inflammation & Tissue InjuryFood allergies may also develop after an episode of severe indigestion which compromises your digestive function. The injury causes the breakdown of the barrier between the intestines and your immune system, a condition known as leaky gut syndrome. Source of gut inflammation and injury include:
4. Immune OverstimulationA history of viral infections can overstimulate the immune system and leave your body predisposed to allergic reactions. Certain viral infections, such as mono, remain in the body for life, usually in a latent or inactive state. The immune system never completely gets a chance to relax after that. Stress and other autoimmune disorders can overstimulate the immune system as well.5. Addictive Food AllergiesOmitting a food from the diet can cause a nutrient deficiency - and lead to strong cravings. The strong craving for an allergen is known as a addictive food allergy. The strong craving makes the offending food difficult to omit from the diet.Managing Food Allergies1. Elimination DietAn elimination diet can help you identify which foods youa re allergic to. Observe this diet of easy to digest meals with five or less ingredients for one week. Avoid eating any processed foods.Slowly begin to add the difficult foods back in one by one. Give each one a full 48 hours in your system before introducing the next. Keep a food journal during this time and make note of all digestive symptoms and troublesome foods. 2. Cleanse the GutA kitchari cleanse can scrub the digestive tract of lingering wastes and reduce high ama levels that are likely irritating the liver and immune system. Avipattikar churna strengthens digestion and reduce ama formation without creating excess heat or provoking an already inflamed GI.3. Repair the Gut BarrierRepair the gut membrane to avoid developing more allergies. Address leaky gut syndrome.4. Calm the Immune SystemHerbs such as shatavari, licorice root or Joyful Belly's Food Allergy Healing Tea may be appropriate to reduce long standing inflammation in the digestive tract and soothe the liver. For healing and rejuvenating the intestines following food allergies, amalaki is Ayurveda's top choice. Haritaki is a laxative that can clean the gut. Baical skullcap can reduce immune sensitivity in the body.5. Adopt a Pitta Pacifying DietFor long term management of allergies, generally a Pitta pacifying diet of easy to digest foods and 10 habits for healthy digestion.Summary
Food allergies have become more common in recent years. The Ayurvedic approach to food allergies includes identifying the allergen, reducing toxins in the gut, repairing the gut barrier, calming the immune system, and following a Pitta pacifying diet. Taking steps to manage food allergies can signfiicantly improve one's quality of life. As allergies can be serious, consult a medical doctor before making changes to your health & wellness plan. Disclaimer: 'Food allergy' could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

Biocharacteristics are qualities (like cold and hot) that describe the effect a food or herb has on your body. Cooling foods like cucumber, decrease metabolism. Heating foods like chili pepper, stimulate your body and increase metabolism. For 'Food allergy', you should select foods with the following biocharacteristics.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3FOOD ALLERGY IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3 - ATTACKING TISSUEIf you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are becoming stronger and weakening your body's resistance. Most people have a weakness in one or more organs. These areas of weakness are the 'weak link in the chain.' They are first to succumb when an imbalance reaches a tipping point. Repairing imbalances in this category often represent your last opportunity to prevent disease. At any moment, these imbalances could overwhelm weakened tissue and develop into a disease. You may feel pain or discomfort in the weakened area. At this stage you will need to support the weakened tissue with specialized foods and herbs for the weakened tissue. AVOID DIETS, LIFESTYLES & HERBS THAT AGGRAVATE THESE EFFECTSAccording to Ayurveda, one or more of the following doshas and biocharacteristics may aggravate 'Food allergy'. If you have an excess of one of these doshas or biocharacteristics below, Ayurveda recommends reducing foods and lifestyle habits that aggravate them. Click on the biocharacteristic to learn what foods and lifestyle habits should be reduced.Symptoms Tell A Story The first step to healing is learning patterns from your symptoms. Symptoms are clues that reveal underlying imbalances. Symptoms show you where your body is weakened. Ultimately, all disease has a root in tissues too weak to defend itself. Ayurveda describes these patterns of weakness using doshas & biocharacteristics. If you notice a biocharacteristic or dosha appears next to many of your symptoms, it helps you establish a pattern that may be systemic.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKSARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing. GET STARTEDTo get started on your Ayurvedic journey, we first recommend that your find your body type by taking our free quiz. In Ayurveda, every solution is based on your unique body type, so by taking this quiz, you’ll get the best results.5 WAYS TO HEAL YOUR BODY
