When Bad Things Happen to Good Food Choices

8 foods that account for 90% of all allergic or sensitivities reactions:

Milk
Eggs
Soy
Wheat (glutten - has a correlation )
Peanuts
Tree nuts
Fish
Shellfish

Suggestions to help with sensitivities:
Rotate food you eat. Try to wait 4 days before eating the same food again.
Eat only foods to which you are not sensitive.
Eat whole uncomplicated foods.
Diversify your diet; think rainbow; do not eat the same meal every day
Keep a food diary, include symptoms.
Design a plan that works for you.

-these are abnormal responses to a food that is triggered by your immune system.

Sensitivity
-Reaction can take place several hours or even days later
-Symptoms are more of a chronic nature

Allergy

-Can be life threatening
