FOOD ALLERGY (Allergies)
Table of ContentsAre you prone to a problem with 'Food allergy'? Find your imbalances and create a diet for your Digestion by taking the free digestion quiz: AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON FOOD ALLERGYFood allergies are an abnormal immune reaction to certain foods. 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.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE 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.

His approach to Ayurveda is clinical, yet exudes an ease which many find enjoyable and insightful. John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda, offering professional clinical training in Ayurveda for over 15 years.John's interest in Ayurveda and specialization in digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, as well as public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion. John's creativity in the kitchen and delight in cooking for others comes from his family oriented upbringing. In addition to his certification in Ayurveda, John holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University.
John enjoys sharing Ayurveda within the context of his Catholic roots, and finds Ayurveda gives him an opportunity to participate in the healing mission of the Church. Jesus expressed God's love by feeding and healing the sick. That kindness is the fundamental ministry of Ayurveda as well. Outside of work, John enjoys spending time with his wife and 6 kids, and pursuing his love of theology, philosophy, and language.
